Congratulations and welcome to you! My first Porsche was also a 2001 996TT 6MT that I owned for 4 glorious years, only selling it to buy my GT3 RS (and have since added another 996TT). They are truly timeless machines!

Congrat's, nice looking car... Just curious, who was the Colorado dealer (Denver?) and what shop did you use for the PPI?

I got it at MB of Littleton. I think you are in the Front Range, so I suspect you know them and their stock. PPI was done at 3zero3.

Yup, know both of those shops...

The used car manager at MB Littleton is evidently a bit of a closet Porschephile, they always have a few decent Porsche's in their used car inventory. Usually very decent cars, though sometimes they are a bit cheeky on their asking prices. 303 has a great reputation as well...

I didn't recall seeing a polar silver turbo available locally which is why I was wondering. It's a great color. Quite a few years ago, I had a 996 C2 in Polar Silver and really enjoyed the color. Ironically, I bought that PS C2 from MB Littleton as well!

Yes I talked to Graham for a bit, certainly knows his stuff. And their sister dealership is Prestige which is how I was able to get the info I did. I’m pleased to hear that both places have a good rep, I was extremely pleased with my experience. The salesman and tech were outstanding.

It must have gone under the radar after awhile, things happen. They do have some darn nice inventory, both Ps as well as others. The 6 wheel GWagon is sweet, you should go by and check it out if you’re in the area.

Thanks again for the welcome. More pics to follow once it gets back on the road.

Yes, I'd like to meet some locals, sounds like a good idea.

And we have lift off!!!! I got it back from Module Masters today with overnight shipping both ways and I am pleased to say I now have oil level functionality. I don't know where it was when the oil change occurred obviously, but this is about 1500 miles since. I am very pleased with the service and turn around time from Module Master. It arrived Tuesday morning and I received an email with shipping information Wednesday morning, which is a 24 hour turnaround. It comes with a 5 year warranty and does have one of those silver "Warranty is Voided if Removed" stickers on it. Just FYI for those who may encounter this in the future. Thanks again for those that pointed me to the cluster being the issue.
