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.

I am looking to upgrade to a TT and am putting my C2 up for sale.
I believe the color is Paladio Metallic, the interior is Boxster Red.
The odometer is fixing to turn 85,000.....I have been using it as a good weather DD for the entire 2 1/2 yrs. I have owned it.
I purchased it with 55,000 miles & it has been great, just got the bug for
more power.
Selling price is
$21,000
.
Please ask any questions you might have.
EDIT: Car does have Locking Differential....option 220
EDIT: I looked up the code & it is Paladio Metallic
EDIT: Lowered price
Thanks,

I hate the front plate, but run it to prevent giving any reason to pull me over.
I will try to get some decent interior pics as you are not the first to request more pictures, but the interior shots seem to make the Boxster red look orange-ish....nothing like the real thing.
I must say your interior looks beautiful.
Of course, this is not for everyone, but I will strongly consider buying a silver / red car when it's time to change.
Thank you, but I have to say the exterior is actually a "pearlescent" Gold as opposed to Silver....
EDIT: I looked up the code & it is Paladio Metallic
Just curious - are you getting many inquiries about the car. It looks like you have been trying to sell since February. I just traded my '99 with 101,000 in. I got a dealer to give me $17,500 on a trade which equates to $18,725 in cash with sales tax swing. So you are definitely not overpriced at $21,000. I did not get much response on my ads. These are good cars, but it seems nobody really wants them. Good luck, someone will come along when you least expect it.
I had more inquiries at the initial $24,500 asking price than as the price dropped....pretty weird.
They are great cars, just got a bad rep from of the problem cars.....I just hop in mine & drive it with a smile on my face.
Thanks,

EDIT: For the record, though, Rennlist is the only place I have it advertised.....
I am in the market for 996's and 21K is a good price. maybe the red interior is limiting the buyer pool. personally it is growing on me every time I look at it. Good Luck.
The exterior color is great as it looks clean for a long time & if I could find a TT
with the same colors I would love it.....just my opinion.You are probably right about the interior, but I really like the way it looks with the exterior color.
I am embarrassed to admit that I cant come up with the wheels name. I purchased them shortly after I bought the car from somebody trading his 996
in.....they are not "replicas".
I know somebody else on Rennlist can tell us the name though....
Nothing done at all except for regular maintenance.
I had to replace the coolant tank (common for this rear), & got a code for
a cracked coil pack at one point, so I had all them replaced.
It is currently getting new rear rotors, pads & an oil change, the fronts were done about 10,000 miles ago.
I bought th e car with 55,000 miles on it & asked the previous owner about
an RMS replacement & he says he has no idea if it has ever been replaced.
At this point I have never seen any reason to touch it still.
He said clutch was replaced prior to my purchase & there is no problem with it at all.
Any more questions, let me know....

EDIT: I just saw you are in Virginia, that is where I bought the car from.....I flew up & drove it back...great trip....
Why do you say that?
Its a low-optioned, 11 year old 3.4 with no warranty, no service history, with colors that are outside the norm, being sold on a used car lot, with almost 100k.
