Searching for needle in haystack: 996 Turbo Tiptronic Coupe, in one of Speed Yellow, Guards Red, Cararra White, or Cobalt Blue. Speed Yellow first choice by far. Note only ~100 Speed Yellow Tips were made in 2001-2005, so this really is a Unicorn Hunt. As stock as possible. Huge bonus points obviously for X50 and/or factory aero kit. Not interested in highly modified or significant accident damage. I have a 996TT 6spd and GT3 6spd. TIp is for the wife and kids to experience the greatness of 996TT without the risk of a money $hift. And scratch a color itch that my other two 911s don't.

I have a Biarritz White (more rare that Carrera white, this is 1 of ~19) with 81k miles. Only mods are Kenwood receiver, Rockford 5 channel amp, upgraded speakers and 8" kicker subs in OEM look enclosure. H&R Springs, GT2 style wing that works.
New taillights and front lip including light savers.
Motor mounts, oil, air filter service, and exterior buffing just done this weekend. 100% sorted, black interior.
It's extremely clean, tons of maintenance history including trans refresh and coolant pipe welding. Car is in Las Vegas
Can anyone tell me / point me in the right direction to how much of a "unicorn" my girlfriend's mom's Zanzibar 996 Turbo Trip Coupe w/ burr wood is?

Forget about the unicorn and be smart unless the wifey/kids are not gonna be on it most of the the time. I looked at an 02 996 tt Tip black/beige? 73k miles runs excellent and tight suspension (stock?) and dry underneath. Apparently a consignment from the manager's friend. Needs a front lip,right size tires,and cosmetics on the painted wheels. Kias on the Boulevard (Philadelphia) is the dealer listed for 41 and won't budge anything below 38. I did not check the Carfax report. Good luck with the hunt!

Sorry, just can't get excited about silver, gray, or another black 996TT.
If you find a manual car in the colors you like I have a complete Tiptronic swap that I removed when I changed my 6TT to manual. I would even consider installing it for you.
(Obviously you would not do this. It's really very silly. Possible, but silly.)
