I just bought a 2003 TT

Some Stats

  • has been a garage queen (not sure if this is a feature) for me it will be a DD
  • never seen the track
  • clean title
  • no accidents.
  • 2003 911 Turbo Coupe 6-speed manual (silver)
  • EuroPipe Stage 2 Exhaust
  • Brand new tires at 25009 miles
  • Last oil change at 28851 miles
  • New alternator at 25575

Congrats. You rhead light look like straight off the factory line.

I find it wierd so soon for the alternator. I have a 02 C4S daily driver and never had a problem but yet my 01 Turbo also had the alternator done.

Lucky you!! Mine doesn't show up for at least another week. I'm getting it shipped to me (in Colorado) from Maryland. The wait is just killing me. LOL

Take it to Orbit racing for a good PPI. Orbit is in West Palm Beach. There is no better indy. All they do is Porsche.

@MB_Fahrer - I know exactly how you feel, the waiting is rough

Once I get it I will put up some more photos.... Those "Orange Pumpkins" have to go. I already have the clear replacements waiting to be fitted.

congrats, looks beautiful. Been lurking on the forums for a while and now looking to jump to a 996TT from my 11 M3. Any shopping recommendations?

Congrats FL-03Carrera. car looks really nice. it seems some low mile 996T's are starting to pop up. IF you don't have a solid paperwork on maintenance history, it would be best to go thru and change all fluids, and inspect all filters and seals and undercarriage, so YOU know where the baseline starts as far as a maintenance schedule. If you don't mind posting the options, and how much you paid to give other members and new 996T owners an idea of where the market is for low mile Turbos.
cheers.

I paid $44k for the car. I took a picture of the hood sticker and have decoded it here

Code Option Description
939 Soft leather rear
982 Supple Leather Seats/Trim
C02 Equipped with catalytic converter
X71 Aluminum Instrument Dials
X97 Aluminium/leather shift ****
X98 Aluminium/leather parking break handle
9991 manufacture from the exclusive-programme
Paint Number L92U AH ARKTISILVER Metalic

The EuroPipe stage 2 exhaust was added by the last owner

The car came with a full service history, and was kept on battery tender when not in use

I believe I paid a fair price, the owner was asking $45
