The Graphite Grey with Polar Silver would be a deal breaker for me. Not at all a good color combination IMO.
I agree, it's not a good combo, esp. this one with the supple leather. The only thing worse than black supple leather is light grey supple leather...my opinion of course.
This particular car is only 10 miles from me if someone really insists I suppose I can have a look.
I don't see this one bringing big money but I could be wrong. I'm still in awe of that 58K mile high option seal grey X50 that brought $63K. I remember when a 50K mile X50 PCCB car was around $50K, maybe 3 years ago. Not any more.
This car is at $51,000 with over 5 hours to go. My guess is that it will end up around $55k. Not bad for what really isn't any type of special car - it's kind of low miles, but not really low. It's kind of a rare paint color, but it's still silver. It's got gray interior with nothing to break up the large expanses of gray (like carbon fiber trim or aluminum trim or even some black pieces here or there). It's not highly optioned. Has draped leather seats (which I like personally, but many buyers do not). I'm pleased it went over $50k and with the prime bidding time still left, it looks like it is going to be a nice result for the seller.
BTW, there are currently three 996TT auctions on BaT. Obviously BaT likes the 996TT. They have been turning down some of the NA 996 cars that have been submitted for auction.
Thought maybe my car could be represented in this thread... a rare 2001 Black over Natural Brown done 68K km with extremely rare interior options... paint is approx 95% good and interior is almost immaculate. Up for sale to bring on other 'Porsche adventures'. Here in Sweden it is worth somewhere around $58-62K Euro.

Wow! Brown leather, I don't think I've seen that before. The interior in your car is a holy Grail for me. Brown with wood trim. Wonderful. Good luck with the sale.
