Hi Guys,
I hope I can purchase one soon, and hopefully to join you guys and play in the sand box with you all...
I'm on the market for a 01 996 preferably under 20K miles around $65K, but I ran across these couple cars, and I was wondering if you guys could give me some insights.
Thanks...

must drive it, watch for popping out of second gear,
have a good unbiased Porsche Mechanic look it over,
get the car you want in the color you want (dont compromise),
with a reprogrammed ECU and suspension changes you have an
instant SuperCar !!!
You will love it,
it will cost you alot more than you think (to "maintain/MODIFY")
You will love it,
good luck,
post any othe questions after you join Rennlist and pay the appropriate fees,

I know it's obvious but check autotrader regularly. I was looking and looking -- and then my dream car showed up for sale, 2 miles from my office. A clean PPI and I was good to go. TT prices are softish right now, too, so it's a great time to be looking.

Thanks for the input guys...
I definetly would want to get a PPI and possibly a leakdown test. (of course replace the plugs with new ones while at it). Do you guys know of any good porsche shops that will do a good job? Or reffer me to?
I'm looking mainly in places in Nothern California, and Southern California.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definetly give Mike a call for the PPI.
I'm also looking into another vehicle, but it's located in Colorado Springs, does anyone can reffer me to a good shop for PPI around that area?
Thanks

Hey Raj,
So that is your Seal Grey TT huh ? As you can see I'm seeking for an Artic Silver one, but your car attracted my attention due to the lower miles. I'm currently on a short trip in Tokyo, I'll be back Monday. I'll give you a call then... Or you can Email me at: rkao@merunetworks.com
