Says black if you go to the dealer's actual site. Who knows, maybe this car has been discussed to death and I'll be shamed back to the 993 board.

(Still casually looking though)

That's a 996 Cabriolet VIN!!!!!!!

And further the "Y" in the VIN indicates is was manufactured in 2000.

Same layout as my 2004 vin. Take the VIN to you local P shop. They can bring up the entire service history of anything done at a Porsche dealer. My car has 51,000 miles and other than chips on the hood and fender is in great shape. Get records, compression, leak down and the ECU download.

The VIN has changed in this thread. So, it's not a CAB anymore which is good

If he takes that new VIN (WP0AC29945S692137) to his local P-Shop they will tell him it is a 2005 GT3.


So..........$59K for a 2005 GT3. I give up. What's wrong with it?

55K miles? I passed on a ~11K miler 3 months ago for (asking) $68K.

All things considered, any of them are a bit much to get one to commute 50 miles a day on a freeway. Always casually interested though.

Maybe someone here knows the car. Miles and impact repairs could mean a great deal. A good PPI will expose the truth.
