Probably not, as they cannot lease it :P

I've finally put up the 2003 Turbo tip up for sale, I'll be keeping the GT3 although it was a tough decision.

If all works out with the sale of my 997 Turbo (which he is selling on consignment for me), I will be picking up this 996! Yes, it's expensive, but based on the current value differentials, it's difficult to ignore the amount of cash I will pocket on the difference. And I really love the 996 Turbos, in some ways, more than the 997s. I'm also aiming to be possibly the first to go completely backwards from 991.1TTS to 997.2 Turbo to 996 Turbo!

Looks like a very clean 996 Turbo.

The add states that it has an automatic transmission, but the pictures show a manual transmission.

You're probably right.

It's listed as a manual ("M") on his website:

Yeah, that's definitely not right. I see it wrong all the time though so it's always worth double checking in the pics. My 997 was actually listed on the dealer's website as PDK back when I bought it.

That red over black 2001 is a spectacular combo. Love the red belts!

Gorgeous car.

That's awesome! I still sometimes wish I had held out for a red one. Something about it is so appealing!

I also found this black one today on Hemmings - https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...ml?refer=alert
If anyone looks at that one, I would highly recommend checking the paint. I BELIEVE this is the other one the guy was trying to sell me when I bought mine from NY. I believe he told me it had some paint work done to it when he was selling it. If so, maybe that's why they did a ceramic coating? To throw off the paint meters?
