Default Is nayone familiar with this TT on ebay???

Looks like a fair price if it's a clean car. Anyone know it?

Don't know the car, but called the dealer this morning. I've asked if they received any service records (it's a trade in) and if they knew if any mods had been done to the car. Height looks like ROW not US and the exhaust tips don't look stock, at least not to me.

When I hear back from the dealer, I'll update. The car looks nice, but I am really thinking Polar Silver...

That doesn't worry me Ronnie...most of the 993TT's that the high-end dealers have for sale currently were on ebay or Autotrader for months before they finally picked them up. Two of the sub 20K miles cars currently listed on ebay for mid to high $70's could have been bought for low $60's (I spoke to two of the sellers personally). I just need to sell one of my current 993's before I can pull the trigger!

Don't really feel comfortable pulling the trigger until at least one of my 993's is sold - not to mention I don't have the garage space left for another. I was close to a deal on the red car twice in the past month, but no cigar! I've lowered to price on both (for the Canadian market) to "fall" pricing and am seeing more interest now. It just takes the right buyer in this economic climate...

They ask $15K, but need to make more than $5K for sure to have a viable business. Few of these cars sell at wholesale prices, so they have to buy at private retail, fluff, and sell. I prefer to hunt down my own deal and save the mark up. That is half the fun for me. For many others, particularly in the upper end of the market, they don't have the time or inclination to do the hunting, so dealers are a good option for them and give them some recourse should problems arise with the car.

No, haven't seen the S, but I am going to have my C2S detailed up at Frank's the week after next, so I'll pop in to see it.
