I don't know, but even if this was their opinion, a "point and shoot" 996 Turbo certainty would never be my target.

That is because you are not familiar with how to extract the maximium performance from a stock 996TT on a racetrack.

No, that's not the reason.

Nelsontod, Wow you gave up on the 996 pretty quick. How come? And what 997 are you going for?

No. Didnt give up. Not super eager to sell. I just think the pdk will better suit me. I love this 996. Its perfect in almost every way. Well sorted too.

Well, your ownership was short lived! I have been looking for a 997 TT for quite some time. Prices continue to climb, but you might find something decent with high miles in a tippy for $55K-$60K.

Im just fine tuning my needs. I went from a 996. To a C4S to this Turbo. You really have to own them and settle into to them before you really know. I love it by the way.

You'll love the PDK. I love mine for sure! Great tranny for a Turbo!

Too funny... You might want to button up whatever it is you are doing with the stereo. Most people are going to be turned off big-time by a half done electronic project.

Buy the Continental radio, install it up top, don't do anything with the amp if it is already bypassed, and put in a spacer pocket up to if you removed a double din. Less than $500 and your radio works and looks good.

Or not.

There is a full report on this car over on 996outpost.com. https://996outpost.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=385&start=10

One of the guys there went to look at it for ipman (a "Rennfax" or in this case a "996outpostfax"). ipman seems to be passing on it (or else I would not have posted the link to the thread here). IMHO, at $37k, it is priced about $3k or $4k too high for a driver-condition car with over 100k miles. Dealer advertises "no haggle" prices, so presumably it will take $37k to buy it. Overall, looks like a decent car, though, and I think at $33k, it would be a nice buy.
