Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you or a loved one are suffering from �I have a Zenith Blue 996 that I am looking to or considering selling�, please check out my listing in the Marketplace. https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1400556 I would also consider Vesuvio Metallic if it is a nice vehicle. I cannot believe how rare this color is compared to all of the other blue colors on the 996.1. It is probably the most unique of the blues and the color used in a ton of the 996 promotional materials.

POST 2Original post

When I was looking for mine in early 2020 I was talking with a guy who was selling his zenith blue. The shade was a bit too light for my taste and the guy was very sales-y. I didn't trust him so I begged off. Maybe he has the info of the person he ultimately sold it to. His email was: [email removed] He was in southern California

Thanks. I emailed them, but no response (as somewhat expected). I hate �cold calling� for this exact reason.

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 19354828

I would feel bad about cold calling him. He had major salesman vibes. That might be a secondary email he uses. Who knows maybe he'll check it & maybe forward the info on. I figured it was a bit of a long shot anyway. Good luck on your search!

I sent you a DM, but you�re right. These don�t come for sale too often, but I figure putting out some feelers to try to get into an �off-market� car wouldn�t hurt either. Maybe a current owner will see my ad and think of me when they start to consider selling their ZBM car.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19358101

It is pretty close, but I really like the purple in the Zenith. I also don�t have a GT car budget on this one, haha. If I were to spend that much, I�d get an SLS AMG.

POST 9Original post

This guy on reddit seems to hate washing his, maybe he'll sell it to you. EDIT: Sorry, I think he lives in England.

I'm with you there. Zenith rules.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19358345

I saw that lol. But yeah... US based. I feel like Zenith was also a lot more popular in the UK. But then again... it feels like a ton of Youtubers and internet content creators from the UK who make 996 content, so maybe it is just a confirmation bias thing.

That car was on BaT last week and didn't meet reserve at $33,500......$35,175 all-in. Had to have been close to reserve, I would think? Tip is going to rob a few bucks. Beautiful car nonetheless.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19359134

The dealer had it listed on their site for $45k right before they listed it on BaT. My guess is that the reserve was around $40k. To the right buyer, it definitely is a $35-40k car in my mind. This won�t be a daily for me, so I won�t go spending on the upper end of my budget on a Tiptronic when I really want a 6-speed (and a C2 if I�m honest). Maybe if manual conversions were more straight forward and cheaper I�d more strongly consider it, but alas.

Oh absolutely. If you want a 6spd, you want a 6spd. Your car will come along -- just be patient.

POST 15Original post

I�ve seen this early build (in what I believe is Zenith Blue) cab several times in my area recently. Manual, graphite grey interior, fried eggs and missing hood crest . It might be the original owner since it still has a Holbert�s license plate frame. I�ll ask them if it�s for sale since I was planning to offer them a spare emblem I have lying around. Installation included

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 19359970

I know that for the longest time people were trying as has as they could to get rid of the amber headlights, taillights, and side markers, but man.... The ambers look so sexy on Zenith. If I wind up getting a 99 or 00 car, I'll definitely be backdating to ambers.

POST 17Original post

It was definitely a color used in early 996 advertising I have an early brochure/fold out poster hanging in the garage

POST 18Original post

Is it on the manual too, or is this a different blue?

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not wanting to start a new thread and can�t edit the OP, but I am back on the hunt. I had previously acquired an Arctic Silver C4S and subsequently sold it due to a number factors, but I want to get back into a 996 that I can feel good about keeping long term. Looking primarily for an aerokit car, but would entertain non-aero offers if the vehicle is nice. Check out my new ad here. https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1500464

POST 20Original post

Oh so close with my car, but it's ocean blue metallic.
