this seems to be a great price on a tip if thats what you are looking for:

02, 39k miles, great price (judging by view count its been around a while and salvage title, might not work for you then)

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

The seller has my deposit (American Express/ PayPal, no problem getting it back if there are issues), sale pending PPI. We have agreed on $37,000, if the car passes PPI.

Regarding the AutoTrader ad, the pictures are the same but the location is wrong (KY vs MO) and the phone number goes to a Fax. Give the scammer a call 502.442.0722. $20,000 and 21,000 miles

I saw that car as well, but I am not interested in a car with title issues.

I do appreciate your wishing me good luck!

Yes, because it has been modified.

You seem to know what you are looking for and looking at, so good luck.

If this car doesn't work out, there are a few stock tiptronic 996TT out there with similar mileage for a couple thousand more. The only reason I know this is because I just bought one.

Does the Volvo checklist factor in Porsche TSB's and recalls?

Something tells me Volvo might not know about what has caused engine bay fires in some MY 03 Turbos.

Good luck with your new car.

Of course not, but I am aware of the TSB, the car has no open recalls at this time according to My local Porsche dealer.

The integrity of the hydraulic system will be inspected as well.

Thanks

I bought the car, spent 6 hours on the PPI there were a few issues. Renegotiated, drove the car 900 miles home. I will post a detailed report after I get some sleep.

BTW, it was a very good 900 miles

I cant wait to hear your feed back on this car, let me know how the Tip transmission is..... I am seriously thinking of a 996tt, selling a few of my cars and scrapping together the balance. I would even be happy with a Auto for a daily driver.

Are the Auto transmissions know to be reliable?
