I have located a 97 993tt that has 75k miles, Arctic/Black with Sport seats. 3 owner car. No mods on the car save for fresh Bilstein HD's and new check valve turbo oil return lines. Car owned by a commercial aircraft mechanic, only 1 accident history of a scraped front driver's fender. Fender is original and receipt for repair work was for $1300 total. No airbag/CEL light faults (bulbs in place, turn on with ignition key then off) and no codes pending via OBD II scanner. Underside of the car is clean enough to eat off of. Would like some opinions on what listers think the car is worth?

Thanks

Somewhere around 50k assuming ppi comes back clean. Nice colour combo.

50 k souinds perfect pull the trigger car looks great

The car looks great. It even has the sports seats! If the PPI comes back clean, $58k sounds right.

48-50k, due to the high miles, that's with a good ppi. The only reason I'm on the low end is the potential cost that are probably looming on the horizon at that milage mark (top end/valve guides, etc). Tim W had a similar experience with a high mile car with a clean ppi that ate him outta house and home. Of course, I could be totally wrong and the thing will run to 150k and never need a dime of repair work.

thanks for the opinions guys! The car has passed the PPI. Only a few little cosmetic issues, a slight shudder in the clutch (replaced 20k miles ago) and some softening of the front control arm bushings (tires show no signs of abn wear). I have not seen a cleaner Porsche underbody since the Zuffenhausen tour.

low to mid 50's if it's that clean with no leaks, probably well maintained and not abused.

beautiful car...I am with TT surgeon @ 48-50k

Good luck Lou! We've seen you ask about so many cars that had to be passed on. If this is the one, we're all happy for you!

Congrats. I've been looking for a while also and I know how hard it is to find a good car. 50k sounds about right. Now if I could only find a good one with about 40k on it we'd all be happy.

Go for it, Eclou!

The mileage issue is less important anyhow since we know you will tune the c--- out of it and rebuild the engine.

Lets put it this way.

I had similar miles and couldn't get 35k for it in trade. So assume they got it cheap. Push the price down. They sit a LONG time at those miles. Look at the Blue on in AZ. They are hard pressed to get 55k for it and it is nice with lower miles.

And YES, I am writing to you from under the 16th street bridge BECAUSE my 993TT did eat my house

Do you have a link to the AZ car?

TIA

If you buy it tell them they owe me 500 bucks

I would buy it but they are screwing me on my trade in.
