For Sale Again: 2001 Orange/Black 996TT
#32
Personally, I like the car. I'm a big fan of this particular orange.
However, it's kind of a niche thing. Not everyone is into the bright colors. If you have difficulty selling it this time, I would make a couple small changes to give it some mass appeal.
I know the stickers are easy to remove, but I would take them off now and re photograph. Why make people imagine what it will look like without the stickers, since no one that buys the car will leave them on. Paint the black areas orange. I like the two tone effect personally, but for broader appeal a solid color would be an easier sell.
Good luck. I've always admired this car. Takes big cohones to do a re-paint, and this one appears to have been done right.

great suggestions on the sticker, props to those people 'helping' sell this car. i have been looking at it since i fell in love with my cousins orange and black cayman. great color combo.

One other thing. If and when you relist it, don't put the "again" in the "for sale" listing. This might make new readers believe you are having difficult selling it. This could lead to ridiculous low ball offers, or that there might be some sort of issue with the car. I hope you don't mind the constructive criticism. Best of luck with the sale. It's a sweet car. I think my next pcar will be orange for sure.

Haha thanks for the advice guys and you are totally right, Topcarbon sorry I havent poosted those pictures for you yet, It's been crazy busy at work. I work at a LARGE catering hall here in NY, Friday I worked from 4pm-130am, Saturday from 9am-2am and Sunday 9am-1am. So as you can see I've had no time at all! lol. I took the pictures I just need to upload them, but I'm leaving for work now so hopefully tonight I can get them up! If you are really interested in the car I can have my shop change the hood and roof to Orange to ensure the quality is top notch, at my cost!! This car really is a site to see and in a warm weather state it would be amazing. I feel I'm a very reasonable person so hopefully we can work something out!

Ok finally! Here are the pictures you requested sorry for the long wait. I didn't have a lift to put the car on and my mechanic was very busy so I didn't want to burden him by asking to throw my car on the lift quick so I did my best getting engine shots laying down on the floor lol. If you want any other pictures please let me know, I just gave the car a light compound and washed it so sorry for the compound residue in the cracks tomorrow I'm going in there and cleaning all the little nooks and crannies, and detailing the engine. The paint is really POPPING after the compound, it looks great.

That flat black...is it a semi-gloss? what kind of clear coat - eggshell?
Any harder to maintain than full mirror gloss style?
I am thinking about doing my whole car that color...it looks awesome in your 2 tone.
