These are Richard Scrushy's old cars which were confiscated by the sheriffs department in Birmingham, AL and are currently being auctioned at Weil Wrecker Service. Good Luck!

why would a wrecker company auction off such rare cars?

Parnelli

Just spoke with Weil. I apologize and stand corrected. There was a low mile '97 black TT. Supposedly it went for $80K. That's a great price if it truly had only 4,000 miles on it.

Ooops! Posted pics before I read your post Parnelli...

Thanks for the apology - no offence taken - life is good.


The prices I posted may be $2,500 high - may have been the last bid price that no one took?

Parnelli

no prob, BHM. The guy I talked to on the phone at Weil wasn't very "precise" . He said $80K but I got the sense that he was "ballparking' the actual number. Did u see the actual car? Was it in awesome shape?

I sat in both of them.... They were not immaculate like we keep our cars.

Both had dead batteries. The 97 hood and trunk shocks needed replacing.

I was suspicious that they may have had less than pampered miles knowing a little about the scrushy clan.

No HTwo O

This is very-very common on the used 96 and 97 Turbos I've seen over the years.

Like I said yesterday, it would sell for $78K +/-$5K.

The number is $90K. Not much more since there are better ones out there... Good luck!

According to this months Excellence Magazine market update the 96 993 tt is a low of $43 k and a high of $66 k not sure where they get there info from as they have the 997tt of 07 for a low of $64 k and a high of $97 k ,i looked for quite awhile before purchasing at what i feel was the bottom of the 997tt market for now and bought at 87k never seen one go for $64k publicly.

A 64k 997tt would be a POS for sure.
