I think you're looking at the mid high 70s for what you want.
DC motors has a blk/blk one 57 something miles, 69.9k.

Red is one of my favorite colors, just meant "but its red" because the OP stated he wanted black was all...

I'm glad somebody likes black on black. Pretty common blk/blk turbo but hardback seats are really difficult to find. They must exist but I've never seen a black exterior with hardback seats.

I believe Chao's car is a blk / blk w hardback seats. Not for sale AFAIK.

OP i love blk/blk too. I would think that in your price range you're looking at slightly higher mileage (60-70k miles).

Thank you everyone for the input. I am ok with a car with higher mileage as long as it is well maintained with good service records. And the sportseats will be a BIG, BIG plus but is not a "must".

I love Blk/Blk 993tt!!!! I have always dreamt of owning a well-waxed/shiny black 993TT..... For me, there is just something special about well-waxed/shiny blk/blk turbo.

I am in Vancouver, Canada so it will probably be another 20-25% of the purchase price (duty, sale taxes, other fees, transport etc) for me to get the car into Canada. So I am hoping that I can find one locally but there are not many 993tt up here.

I know it would be long shot... but I am hoping that I can but from fellow rennlisters in Vancouver!!!

High 70s for a 50k mile 993TT?

gtfo.

I think people vastly overestimate the value of these vehicles.

As long as one is not selling one's vehicle, why not be delusional about its value. Imagine how folks fill out the line on their financial statement when it comes to house value.

Going to be hard to find this value proposition, and with Sport Seats. You'll need a cash reserve too for after your purchase to protect against buyers remores. There is always something that will need sorting out, and that cost some more $$$.

You don't want to be Porsche rich and cash poor. Just about anyone can buy a Porsche (993TT), but it takes a special person to actually own and maintain a +15 year old Porsche.

Not to mention the slippery slope of mods, that costs even more $$$$.

So be careful as you plan and chart your true budget.

There's one close to that description at Weissach, except for the price, last time I looked it was $79,000.

Tony,

In the Olympic spirit you need a little white in that garage to complete the Stars & Stripes motif.
