*Official* new owner :)

Out of the blue, a nice 996 TT showed up in my neighborhood . Pending a satisfactory PPI, she should be in my stable this weekend .

2002 silver over black; pretty common combo but it looks good. 67k mi, all maintenance performed and new tires.

Cross your fingers

Good luck buddy! I am heading on a trip very soon to take delivery of my 2003 996 TT X-50 in silver over black! Very excited! Lol :-)

Awesome! Where are you picking it up from?

The car is near perfect. A few small items need touch-up on the interior. Lights also have some yellowing but that's a $25 fix. Done that before.

PPI didn't reveal anything drastic. Brakes have less than half left (front rotors and pads will be fixed), front CB boots have a tiny leak so should be replaced (I will take care of that).

Rev 2 ignitions revealed only a value of 20, which would be like 0.05 sec. Rear bumper was once fixed from a fender bender; nothing else was replaced though.

I think it's a go

I have a couple pics but they are not that great! I am driving down with my trailer and picking it up! I would drive it back but there is no clear bra on the car and I would prefer not to have a bunch of stone chips.

Here's a teaser pic of mine. A full photoshoot will have to wait till I apply some of my detailing magic

Still haven't figured out what kind of silver it is btw?! Maintenance paperwork lists it as Arctic Silver but I think it's Polar Silver.

Luciano, that looks just like my polar silver '02 it may even have blue interior. It's really hard to distinguish from black.
