A 996 TTS might be worth the stretch if you're comfortable with the overall condition and can leverage things like the window issue, need for new tires, single key, and possibly the PCCB condition into the price negotiations, particularly if it passes a PPI mechanically and is in good overall cosmetic shape. That is a car that will likely do well over time, meaning is less likely to lose value even as a driver. Both of my 996TTs came with a single key and it never bugged me too much.

If we're honest with ourselves, we don't buy cars to avoid losing money (and certainly not to make money), but a 996 TTS is a smart choice overall. I hope you find a great example to call your own.

Well the weather conditions weren’t the greatest the day I drove it. But .8 bar came up pretty easy.
as stated the records they don’t have any.they did screw up in my opinion because they said they bought it at auction..
just what I can find on Carfax and that don’t say much. The last set of tires were put on in 2014 and I don’t think
they have 5k miles on them. But they are junk just from age and flat spots.
i was given a copy of what the car came with new, and it was tastefully done I think.
sticker was $152,010.00
