Default Looking for a 997.1, how hard will it be to find this combination?

I've been hunting around for a while now, and just can't seem to find a car that fits what I'm looking for. I really want an arctic silver car with cocoa interior, navigation, preferably a C2S, but I would settle for a C2 with PASM. Oh and it must be manual transmission.

I'm finding in my searches that it seems all the silver cars have black or grey interior, with the odd red. Is this a super rare combination? Should i widen my search net and try to find a different combo, or just be patient?

On a side note, hello all, I'm new here. This would be my first P car and mainly for daily driving.

I shopped for 6 months all over US and Canada before I bought mine and I never seen the cocoa interior turn up with silver exterior. You might have to widen your search.

Thanks for the input, that's kind of what I was starting to think myself. I know a silver car isn't that 'different' from the norm, but I just believe that a German car should be silver. The interior however, can be a bit different.

Saw a 2010 CS silver with cocoa interior last month at a local dealorship. It had full leather package and PDK. It was purchased while I was looking at it. Very nice interior color. Although it is uncommon, I have seen it in meteor gray and black cars.

Wow, I feel kinda lucky now! I have an Artic Silver 06 C2 with full coco brown interior, sport seats. It has a Tipp, not manual. I needed a tipp because of my occasional long commute in heavy LA traffic. I love the color combo. At first I wasn't sure as I've never had an interior like that. I bought it about 7 mo ago with 41K miles. It has 47k now. Good luck on your search!!

Could you post some pictures of your car? How long did you look before finding it?

Cocoa interior is pretty rare no matter what the exterior color is. You will likely have to be very patient to find the right car with a cocoa interior.

Yes - I've seen Artic Silver and Meteor Grey over Coco. Very cool. Having said that... I love my Artic Silver over Sea Blue. Another unusual combination.

Keep looking. I recall when the 997.1 was being ordered that many chose that combination.

Is this what you are looking for? Believe it or not, first car that came up in my search (30 seconds). Not sure if it is Arctic Silver or just Silver? Can anyone describe in words what the different "Silvers" look like?
2006 (997.1) Silver C4S with Cocoa Interior Ooops! sorry, just noticed you said C2S, not C4S.

It is certainly very close. I've been looking at C2 and C2S cars, and trying to keep to a $50K budget so I guess that's why that car hasn't popped up in my search. It looks gorgeous though

Thanks for all the replies, I am not in any hurry at all, so I will just be patient for a while
