And even at $60k you need either a high mileage car or someone desperate for instant cash

What do you guys think of the price. Their service dept went through and gave it a clean bill of health. (Whatever that means) they also have offered a Penske bumper to bumper warranty 6200 buck 3 year 36000. He says that will cover any coolant line issues and everything else. That would bring the total to about 49000 out the door with tax license and 3 year warranty. ? Would you guys still get another ppi done by an indy?? ? Would anyone consider purchasing the extended warranty?? ? What do you all think of the color combo. I love it but just wonder what people views are!!! ? I don't mind the tip but then again I do. This tip vs manual topic has been hashed and rehashed so ill leave it alone but I'm sure someone will point that out

: anyway if I get bored with the tip I have my 993 manual to put a smile on my face again. Anyway Let me know you thoughts out there in turbo land. http://www.porschechandler.com/used/...m#&gid=1&pid=3

Not to belabor the point, but he said, with the warranty, it would bring the car to $49 out the door. A 997tt manual with ceramic brakes for $59 vs. a 996tt tip for $49 is compelling choice. Most 997.1tt's are in the $60's to $70's (except '09's), but stomaching mileage in the 50's+, if patient and willing to watch and make offers, could get him a 997tt in the high $50's. I really wanted the 997tt with the ceramics, it drove sublimely, but I am out of car space. The seller said it was slightly more than what the dealers were offering him and he needed to sell. And the 996tt and 997tt's should be able to handle a lot of miles for many years.

Before everyone goes bananas, this one's outside the money, but I'm posting it due to the color. I love the color. Too bad it's not black or gray non supple interior... Any ideas what this color is?
