PM me for his email address.
Car is in Cincinnati Ohio
Original owner paint to sample Signal Yellow one of two in 2001 I was told (Mike Valentine had the other one before getting his CGT in signal yellow)
2001TT 28k miles 6 speed
car comes with 2 sets of OEM wheels, one has snow tires on it.

I think the asking number is 45k but I just sent him an email to confirm.
I have also asked for a photo of the option sticker under the hood.

That Signal Yellow isn't for everyone but it is distinctive and well worth $45K+ Turbos that a straight, low miles (and that will check out 2B 100% by a good Porsche shop PPI) could easily bring $50K.
I know there are rides out there with 80-100+ miles and not so perfect anymore, selling at prices in the low 30's. Probably cost a would be buyer even MORE dollars in the long run.
$50K isn't out on line at all to a knowledgeable buyer. Best of luck with it.

He could ask for more but might not get it. I bought a very similar car with two sets of wheels three years ago for less than what he is asking now. It all depends on how long he can wait to sell the car.
The 996 Turbos are hitting the bottom end of their value right now. In a few years their value will begin to rise .

On virtually all Porsche sites you will find examples of people picking up some really nice cars at bottom feeder prices. Don't be swayed by those stories. Simply because some less than informed owners let cars go far below their true market value doesn't set any benchmarks of value. We see this in home sales often driven by desperate sellers who take what they can get in difficult times. These are not difficult times for serious buyers of these amazing turbo cars. Let the bargin hunters have those "deals". Hold on for the right buyer and ignore the bargin hunters looking to steal your car. Their examples really aren't relative. They only reflect the occasional mistakes some sellers make and often have some underlying issue with them or the car. Not to say those deals aren't out there but they are rare indeed. The right buyer will pay the right price for the right car....

My family and I have long history with Porsche cars. We have bought and sold quite a few over the past 60 years.
With Porsches as with most high end sports cars there is alway a period were a particular model or generation hits bottom in value. It happened with 356s in the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s. The early 911s hit their bottom a few years after that. Now the 911 generations from the 1980s to 1990s (SC and Carrera) are hitting their bottom and just starting to show a slight rise in value.
The regular 996s are looking like they are going to fall for quite a while and honestly they may never be prized cars just like the 911 generation of the mid 1970s. Those mid 70s cars with their crappy engines fitted with thermal reactors and under engineered timing chain systems that cause the engines to grenade are looking like they will never be prized. For similar reasons the regular 996s are looking like money pits. Buy it, drive it, throw it away when you are done. Not really collectible.
The 996 Turbos and GT3s IMHO will escape that fate because the real conosurs will eventually see them for what they are. The first mass market 911s with the Le Mans winning GT1 water cooled engine and in the case of the Turbo the only mass market release of the 959 four wheel drive system. The 996 GT3 is also the only GT3 available raw with no traction control. I can see them being admired much the way the Carrera RS models of the early 1970s are.
So it is looking to me that we just have to wait it out a few more years and the Porsche conosurs will discover what these Mezger engineed cars really are. A couple of decades of hidsight really makes things clear.
This is just my humble opinion. Your mileage may vary.
Hot buying tip: If you ever wanted Ferrari now is the time. The early 308s, the desirable ones with carburetors, are hitting rock bottom right now. You can get a great one for under 35k and in ten years it will be worth easily double that, in twenty years triple or better, maybe much better.
