Prices on the 996tt are starting to get real close to the 997tt.
But I do agree, low mileage 996 turbo's for over $70k largely eliminate one of the most endearing attributes of a 996 Turbo... Amazing bang for the buck, aka: Supercar performance at Civic pricing...
I also know from a fair amount of first-hand wrenching on these cars that 'low mileage' doesn't equal 'needs nothing'. Most of the mechanical things that will need attention on a 60K mile seventeen-year-old 996 Turbo will also need attention on a 15K mile 996 Turbo, sometimes even more so.

$70K 996 Turbos may be "great" as owners of an appreciating asset, not great as a car i'd recommend to others to buy or purchase myself.
At $70K+, 996 Turbo's IMHO move from BUY to at best HOLD, and possibly SELL unless they are a very special car that you are buying for collector value rather than an amazing ownership experience.
And low miles and/or X50 alone do not (again, IMHO), make for a very special car.

"Whenever this car shows up at Night Clubs / Casinos the girls swarm the car like bees and cannot take enough selfie pics in front of the car. I am constantly asked by beautiful women if they can sit in the car and take pictures...Sorry no test drives no off site inspections".

That is true assuming you already own a 996 Turbo and want it to appreciate. Not so good for someone on the other side of the coin trying to buy one. lol

I'm an advocate for the 996 Turbo and 996 Turbo owners, not for 996 Turbo buyers.

. I am talking to a local person that has an X50 & factory aero package car. It has 35K miles on it. The car is in great shape and is all stock. He wants $63K for it. I think that is a little high. I thought it would be reasonable at $54K-$56k. Or is he priced where it should be with those options and mileage?

I am all for them appreciating over time as well. Not just because I plan to own one myself. When cars increase or keep their value it helps the cars be taken care of and preserved. It also keeps a strong supply of parts and aftermarket support for them. An all-around win for the car and the owners.

It is an accident-free, two owner car. The only options are X50, aero kit, supple leather seats, and floor mats. Silver over black. Attractive car for sure.
