I've been eyeing 996 TT's again now that pricing on some seems to be dipping down close to $30k.

A couple locally are being listed close to $40k but methinks are worth a lot less. Specifically, there's a dealer with an '03, Zanzibar red, wood, tip, chrome wheels with 53k miles. They've been asking $44k for quite a while now.

What do you guys think is a fair offer? I'm thinking $31-32k based on the weirdness. I can get over the color and wood, and I'm actually looking for a tip ... though the wheels would probably have to go or at least be painted.

I wouldn't mind the color combo. Just lose the wood, window tint and get the wheels painted gunmetal grey.

link taken down. Flagged?

 

Interesting. Still up on their web site:

IIRC, that car has been discussed in this forum before...

 

It sold at auction, right? Means you can find out what they paid...

BTW-There is only one person who's opinion of the color/nterior/wheels matters.... and you can change trim, wheels and even carpet, for not a crazy amount of $$

Heh. Googled the VIN and found this Russian import site:

Great stuff on the car from Manheim:

Salon (translation of interior I assume):
- Dirty
- Smell in the cabin: smoke

Grading:
2.9 (below)

Notes:
AC CNTRL MALFUNC
Right rear SPOILER FAILURE

Soooo... yeah, unless they'd do an even trade on my Subaru, not even gonna bother emailing.

 

Good find...sort of puts a different spin on it doesn't it?? Smoke??? dirty??? rated at -2.9?? Oh yeah! Research is your best friend....
