I'm seriously contemplating upgrading to a 997 Turbo. I like my 996TT, but there are some reasons why I find the 997TT more appealing. They're all subjective, so no need to delve into that.
BUT, today I was looking to see what the market was on 996TT's (2003) and came across this...
link
$34,900 for an "accident-free" 44k mile 2003 Manual Turbo? Wow...that makes me want to hang on to mine and just drive the pi$$ out of it, instead of babying it like I do.
I know, it could be a total POS, but it's sad to see where the market has gone. I would be hard pressed to take less than $50k for mine!

I just went through the selling process with my 2003 996T and the going market rate for them is $45K to $49K. I think mine sold for around $48K to someone in Northern Virginia at Porsche of Tysons. The trade value is about $38K. That is the unfortunate truth. I would say to drive the heck out of it and just have fun with it. As I learned---mods do hurt the trade in value as it makes some dealerships reluctant to give you more because prospective buyers will shy away from a modded car. When they bought my car they went over it with a fine-toothed comb and looked for any reason to offer me less.
Be safe man!
