Put a deposit down yesterday on a 2001 996tt. Porsche dealer in my area just got one in. 3 owner, 49k miles. Seal grey, 6 speed, sunroof, non nav. Paint and wheels looked good. Had 3M front end/mirror protection. Was serviced at this Porsche dealer for the last 7 years. It isn't technically for sale yet, so I dont know every detail. It has some sort of aftermarket exhaust, but everything else I can see looks stock. They will be servicing it this weekend and getting it detailed.

Sounds like they are asking 43k. Seems to be a fair price for the mileage...What do you guys think?

Edit: Went with a different car. 2002 Slate Grey 6 speed. 41k miles. Update: Pics of the car!

Good price if it checks out.

Thanks! I am definitely not an expert on 996 prices. Been a BMW guy up until now. I am hoping they put some new tires on it and potentially do the brakes. Would be nice knowing it was recently gone through. I need to do some more research on DIY on these cars. I typically do as much as I can myself.

Please consider checking in on the 996tt survey thread, it would be great to add you infor to the list.

Will do when/if I pick it up middle of next week.

Also, the dealership had a black 959 in for service. Supposedly the owner also has a GT and 918. Must be rough!

you sound like my twin, I just bought a 2001 seal grey TT and been driving a estoril e36 m3 that I am in process of trying to sell.

congrats on switching to the dark side

EstorilM

Haha just sold my estoril e36 m3 3 weeks ago. Interested on your thoughts between the two

I have only had the turbo for a few weeks . It is a lot faster obviously and sort of a super car compared to the m3. The m3 is a lot more playful on the street with the low power and low grip so I will miss the drifty-ness. I had a V8 e90 m3 so that was a bit closer speed wise to the turbo. turbo with awd seems like it has a bit more of safety net over the V8 m3(I spun it off the track once).

Just saw yours has 47k miles. Now its getting a little creepy lol.

Do you think this price is fair, given you just bought the same car?

Jeff_DML

yes

That's me, I needed to have the 959's wheels balanced. I hate having to drive the 918 while I wait.

EstorilM

Oh that is you huh? I apologize for the scratch...

Yes and no. The other day I slightly overcooked a corner at lime rock and took just a feather off the throttle and immediately the rear came out to play. Nothing major and I had PSM on, but ultimately it's still a rear engine car...
