Nice, sounds like you got a deal for a low-miler. You even got the nice leather option. Half hood means it was probably the factory clear bra kit (expensive option). Just hit that with the Plexus to keep it from yellowing, which is what happened to mine.
p.s.
Regarding the #425 spray from FinishKare, I just want to note for anyone reading that recommendation that I'm not product brand "fan boy".
I find all these high end detailing brands to be largely the same. But there's definitely something proprietary in that product that I've not been able to replace with any other brand. I just wish I had it from day one when I had a dark colored car.

Looks great, Join the club. I have stuck around as well, but miss my old 986. I may pick up a used tip cab 996 one of these days as a beater. Is that natural brown or cinnamon interior?

Cool car! It is Cinamon...which was one of the draws to it. I am not a huge fan of just the tan so when I saw the Cinamon I was hooked.

I actually really like the cinnamon interior. I prefer it as it's darker than the other browns. Enjoy the car. Do you think its much quicker than your 986. My impression of the 996.1 was that it wasn't much quicker than my 986.i miss the sound of the m96.

Neither of my 986 were S so I have gained a ton of HP...Inhave not driven the S, but the non S box was still quick...not this quick but still quick...

Love seeing other p cars around, I won't have two for a very very long time, but really hoping to snatch a 914 sometime. And then it may be 911 time.

So trimer........are you going to fly into BDL and pick up the car in Middlebury?
There are some awesome roads in the Middlebury/Southbury/Oxford area that would suit this 996 perfectly! Plus, it would make for a great trip down the Atlantic Coast to Florida.
Just sayin'.............

Thought about it but no. I am going to have it shipped. I just don't have the time. But after it gets here I am taking it over to Tampa and I think Atlanta. I usually am on a plane to ATL twice a month so I might just have to drive it next time...6 hours of bliss!

Unique and mint- something to be prized. A smart buy in my book.
