Aaron,
My 96 TT purchased 3 months ago had a 2 year Porsche warranty (thank God - synchro problem-still not fixed))..can you purchase an after-market warranty? Might be worth a few extra bucks for the piece of mind. FYI- I paid 66K for my car with 48,000 miles with the warranty. Good luck and the car looks great. The PPI is a must

Nice, but its not my favorite color. Want blk or polar silver.

Also, I was on the car at Premier before they bought it out of Texas. They got it at a very low value and I missed it, around the upper 60's. It wasn't a certain deal for me but I would have made it worth there time, although they may not have taken my offer.

Thumbs down 40,000 Miles/ I do not think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's funny! The Polar Silver TT is used on The Tire Rack as a Model car for BBS Wheels. I might be mistaken, but I think someone is playing games. Photo attachment of 993 TT from Tire-Rack!!!!!!!!
P.S. Check the link!!!!http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...nCars.jsp:grr:

Thanks and good looking out! Had I not been me, you might have just saved me from a really ugly situation. The bad news is that I have to bring the car back to work tommorrow while I decide if I'm buying it or not....what a machine!

Hey there. I work in Mishawaka an live in Niles. I also just happen to know a few people that work @ the Tire Rack. Do you know anybody from the Michiana PCA? We auto-x at your place from time to time. Our local club president is an ex-porsche mechanic from the old Porsche dealership in Elkhart (Putnum Imports). His name is Marty Hostetler and owns Bill's Top & Trim in Elkhart on Beardsly. My brother (has a 911 cab) and I both take our cars to him. No one better in this area... and he's the one turning the wrench unlike some other private shops.

Tell him the Goodson boys sent you... he'll take care of you. That is if you decide to buy the car :-)

Take Care,
Cory

Default Mileage

My TT has ~50k miles. I looked at several with 80k plus in Germany. Buy the best you can afford. There is a renowned specialist in the uk and he comments on mileage on his site

Small world, Marty is the one servicing the car currently! I'm planning to call him later today to ask a few questions. I'll tell him you had nice things to say

Aaron mine has 42K as of the Rumble. Passed everything I could
on the way home. On my way my back started hurting and I had
to let my wife drive. She even got it up to 110 on a deserted
desert road. amazing car. Mine is just getting good. Its faster
than a viper GTS with only 1800 miles on its clock!
