Looks like it's live now, literally about a week after pictures. Maybe they were in a hurry as I was hearing 4-6 weeks in the queue?

As far as I can tell, it's the only white 996 Turbo S 6-speed that has ever been listed on BAT.

Not a fan of white cars, but that looks pretty good.

Wow. I have the sister in black. Those 997 seats look good. Nice mods all around.

Beautiful car, i don't think I would be able to sell that one. What are you planning to replace it with?

I’m curious if your TTS has the option sticker on the frunk lid or in your manual? Mine doesn’t. It does have an AC sticker on the frunk that proves it hasn’t been repainted but I’m sure some will ask when I’m ready to sell. Seems like that was when they started phasing them out.

Well, the backstory is that it was going to be my forever car and my wife loved it to, but she passed in the fall at a young age and it really reminds me of her so I think it best that I move it along. I'm thinking 991.2 when things settle down, if they ever do. There's nothing I don't like about this car, though, other than memories.

My car does not have the hood sticker in place. It has that black plastic liner.

Thats tough man, now I remember your other thread. I'm sure it was a hard decision to make. My thoughts are with you and hope your car brings someone else lots of good memories.

I'm really sorry to hear that. We all lose people we love and often they never leave us but things do get easier to manage. I know it sounds cliche and obvious but it takes time. Try to stay busy and with loved ones and be good to yourself each day. And when you're up to it, take the time to do a little proactive work each day on yourself to help you get through it whether it's counselling or meditating. They work wonders. As far as the car, maybe you get rid of it or maybe you keep it but do whatever feels right. Best wishes.

They will probably get close to what they're asking for it. Black on black is a crowdpleaser.

The car I posted up thread recently is now in my garage.

2003, 30k miles, a few aftermarket bits - Strosek wing, Tarett drop links, H&R coils and a Fabspeed (GT2?) exhaust. Also has an older but functional Escort Passport SRX RD/LJ hardwire stealth install.
