Good luck-

I have an '05 Turbo S that I got new that has given me fits. I'm at the stage where Porsche is involved now and hopefully they'll do the right thing and buy the car back. Much of the problem has related to the power steering/clutch.

Best of luck with the car when you get it. It sounds like a great deal, so keep us updated. The X50 is worth buying, they are great cars.

Congratulations, and that's a nice price of entry to 996TT ownership...

My 993TT's had lots of small problems too and they were both new, low mileage cars. I sold one at 6,500 miles and the other at about 20,000 miles. My 996TT has now gone 80,000 miles with virtually no issues. IMO, you will find the 996TT to be a much more reliable car...with better build quality. Enjoy!

Manny: Bought a set of sport seats off a guy on 6speed. Gray ones are hard to find. SO I scored.

It is wonderful!

I just swung by the muffler shop and had them do the stock muffler bypass and MAN is that the best $45 I have spent. Sounds good and spools MUCH faster.
