OK, here go's;
The wheels are wrong
The front has been changed (original had bumpers)
Wrong splitter
The radio has been removed
2001's issues;
Severe 2nd gear popout
rear spoiler
clutch problems
1st North American 996 TT
missing glove box, etc. as others have mentioned
I almost made a deal on a 2001 TT, glad I didn't. In summary, the 2001 TT was pretty much a lemon for most.

Rear spoiler effects all years the same.
Clutch is the same all years.
Who cares if it is the first year?
Why is a glove box so important to you?
Really, you are glad you skipped the turbo for these reasons?

BTW, I've got no dog in the fight - I don't own a 996TT (yet

But, had I given up on buying a 996 NA after reading all of the hype on Rennlist about the "bearing who shall not be named" and "27 modes of engine failure", I would not have bought my current car (which I consider one of the best cars I've ever owned out of more than 100 cars).

So, I'm in the fact gathering stage of the purchase process.
My goal is to afford the 997 TT to get even more car for the money though I do really like the 2002 up TT 996. You cant go wrong with one for sure.
