@Rlanning the steering wheel stitching is only a Wheelskin cover that I did not install well. I have since removed it and you can see the factory wheel in other photos. The wheel is in excellent condition—I just wanted something thicker, since I have used Wheelskin previously on other cars.

Seal Grey and Metropol Blue is such a cool combo. I wish car companies still offered bold interiors like this.
@Rlanning sorry about the wheel photos—I will upload all 4. They are all in the same condition. Tread is the same on all four, since the tires were just replaced last month.

I like the color combination but would like to see close up pics of the wheels on the left side like you did on the right side, except you sent the right side pics twice and also twice of the same tread pic. What up with the steering wheel stitching coming apart? How does that get repaired? Thanks, Rlan

Damn, if the bidding doesn’t pick up soon, I may be forced to bid on it, drive it for a while, keep the one I most like and sell the other.
This looks like a very nice example!
FWIW, I turned down a recent offer of 25K from an acquaintance for mine!

@WRENCH.56 thanks for your post, and I conpletely agree with your comments. With the AWD, the front wheels pull tyou through corners while the rears are putting the power down...
I own five cars. Including a 2002 Boxster S, a Jaguar XKE roadster, and a 2001 996 C4 much like this one.
The C4 is by far the fastest and most fun to drive. It is my first choice every time I have the go fast urge for a day tour through the mountains here.
It just sticks through all kinds of twisties at insane speeds.
Until you get to drive one of these quickly or on a long trip, you have no idea just how good these things are!
GLWTA. I hope this car goes to someone who appreciates it and uses it well.
They won’t stay relatively inexpensive forever!

Thank you for viewing this auction. This is my car and it is truly beautiful! The previous owners and I have kept this car looking like it came from the factory. Please let me know if I can answer any questions.
