May I humbly suggest, as your first post, you supply a little more information?
It's a bit terse, amigo

If you buy this Turbo, please promise to change the wheels, and fix the exhaust tips.

First off.... you need a PPI. If everything checks out I would shoot for the high 60s. Looks like a nice 993tt (except the wheels).

Good luck and keep us posted.

I don't think the seller is going to knock off $20K from his asking price.

Holy great startac batman!!!! I haven't seen one of those phones since 1994. I remember that they were $800. I agree with the above statements. I would fix the exhaust tips and replace the chrome turbo twist.

Agree, I dont think the guy will sell it for upper 50's, hell he can sell it to a dealer for more money....I would definitely shoot for igh 60's or low 70's.

I also have a low mileage TT and was thinking of selling, someone emailed me and offered me a lowball offer thinking I would bite because he said he would pay me cash. I politely said no thank you as I know my car is worth more.

I am not sure about that. It is heavy, does not work, and some people believe it dates the car. When I had one in my last car, I would have paid to take it out, but it was not feasible.
