Very nice. If you love the car and it checks out with no stories, grab it. The interior is unusual which makes it a bit unique.

Brian,
I have the same 993TT Arctic Silver/Boxster Red but with sport seats...interesting to see as the special boxster red interior is rare.

Have a good PPI done and perhaps a leak down test, assuming the mileage is legit and there are no issues this is a very sweet deal.

Let me know how it goes.

While I am in the minority, I really like red leather interiors, including this one. If resale is an issue, best to keep looking, because the red will significantly narrow your market and generally slow things down when you try to sell.
Looks nice, however, and is fairly priced with good miles.
Get a Carfax, check the accompanying paperwork, talk to PO(s), make an agreement, go see and drive the car, and absolutely get an informed PPI, including compression and body/paint.
OR...just wire the money and hope for the best; ready, fire, aim!
Good luck, and keep us posted.

I almost got this color 993tt 2 years ago. It had 9,000 miles on it and got bought out from underneath me for $94,000 Canadian.

personally I dislike the supple leather interiors. Sounds like a decent deal, but I would push for $53k

I disagree about the colour. It''s stunning and so much nicer than the normal colours. You will love it.

I really like the boxter red interior with the artic silver. If this was a bright red I wouldnt be interested, but this red is almost a dark brown and its stunning I agree.

I remember a few years ago you couldnt get into a medium mileage TT car like this for less than 65-70k, even the 993s seem to have taken a step down in value but at much lower % than other cars....like my 95 F355 for example! But I am never selling that car so it doesnt matter.

Do it. Do it. Do it. PPi might be a good idea though.
