Hasn't this car been for a sale for a while?

1) tough color combo (I think speed yellow is a great color)
2) Bad mods (radio and subwoofer)
3) High(er) mileage
4) there are a ton of 993 TT's on the market right now, and the market is getting softer with each passing month...summer is 1/2 over

Summer has only just begun here in Houston. Our normal high temperatures typically do not fall below 90F with any regularity until mid October.

Ahhhhhhhh..........to sweat..............and enjoy the AC, cold beer, margaritas.............and a few P cars mixed in as well.


Cheers,


Greg

maybe it has had body work done??? Maybe it needs $30k in defered maintenance??? might not run right, not all twin turbos do??? + as someone else said, that radio and subwoofer are bad mods.
And dealers are asking way more for low mile clean 993tts, so something must not jive.

I love that you get the 997 brochure when you buy the car. Also, thanks for showing the pics of the dealer, now we know it sits outside on the lot, at least there are some f-cars to keep in company out there. Bird droppings are a no cost option.

I called a salesman there. Asked what mods were done because the thing is obviously lowered. He said he'd get back to me but that was a couple days ago.

+1, unless it's got Gt2 uprights that would be a painful buckboard ride.
