Here's a link to a 97 993TT in Zenith Blue w/grey interior and 9765 miles. This sounds like what you are looking for.

I happen to think the midnight blue interior (especially with the extended leather options) is great! I would take it over Classic Grey, which is what I currently have in mine. Navy or dark blue is difficult to find in cars today. I have it in my old Mercedes.

Yes, I saw this come up for sale last night!
I have already talked with the Seller and I will be looking at it this weekend.
100% original except for the exhaust.
He also told me that he would back up a pre-purchase inspection.
Sounds exactly what I am looking for.

Cruzrmmm, what did he say he would take , that is one of the nicest ones I have seen in awhile, god willing I am picking up one with 12k miles on it, Sat morn here in Florida.

Cruzrmm

Got to tell you, he would not disclose his Reserve price.
He said that he wanted to see what the auction would bring for a true market value.
Oh well, I was prepared to try and buy it early and end the auction but he does not have a Buy It Now price listed for the auction.
I am going to see it in person and then bid on it next week.
I did put a couple of early bids to show my interest prior to calling him on the telephone.

BTW- I did locate a '97 TT ARENA Red with original 1,600 miles!
Yes, that's correct- 1,600 miles
It has full options and has the Andial 600HP mod!
The seller is not actively marketing this ultra low miles TT.
He is a serious collector and he wants serious $$$ for the car.
It is just like NEW!

If the E-Bay auction does not work out then I will have to consider this ARENA Red TT and pay the price........

shaynes

What does he want for the 1600 miles 100+

Cruzrmm

Yes, well over $100K!
It is a price I don't know if I can justify.
But then again, where do you go to buy a New 993 TT?

shaynes

You can still achieve in the high 80's to low 90's for 12k and under cars, so is 1600 mile worth say 15-20k , NO... not unless it is an S and then all rules are off baby...

Cruzrmm

Yes, I agree which is why I did not move on it when I found it last week.
I also tried to compare it to the curent market value that has been established on most TT's and the rare S model.
He is pricing it according to the $50K in Andial mods and the fact that it is essentially a new TT with all options that can't be found anywhere else.
He also has many more exotic vehicles and this one can be bought but it is not really "For Sale".

shaynes

Hope you find one soon, I jumped at the 12k because it is local , I don't want to jinks it so I will shut up until I have the keys in my hand. The low milers are drying up, there just aren't that many..

I looked at the bid history and 2 or 3 of the bids are from dealers. That car is a $80-85k retail price range easy and if it was one of the more popular colors $89k. If it checks out you better jump on it if thats you color.

Cruzrmm

That's my plan.
I have the High Bid for now but the Reserve has not been met.
I will look at it on the weekend.
No chance to end the auction early says the seller.
Bid to Buy next week after seeing it.

Thxs - taste seems to differ a lot between Europe and the US. Over here you would not find anyone seriously ordering/demanding a blue car with black interior as it is not considered a match (neither in automotive nor in fashion). Grey is seldom, usually you will find blue/blue or blue/beige as combinations. But in the end all 993 TTs are beauties on its own

Turbo993

Nice car, but after purchasing it you should get all the interior coated in grey leather. (for my taste the contrast between grey and black interior is too strong)

Over here you'd pay approximately 75.000 Euros for that car.

Cruzmm,

We are all pulling for you, get that Zenith Blue. Here are pics of my new S, I got it this morning, only 12, 254 miles....
