Now Gonzo, this ain't "The Bargain Bin Thread", now is it? This thread is like an oasis - a healing spot for the troubled and weary soul of any 996tt owner. Let's keep it classy in here (which of course also means no gifs, memes or YouTube videos please ).

I'm married to an attorney and can understand some of the bs like weary soul but all this thread is a back handed insult with a tinge of lets get the new low ball buyer insulted so they can join in. Already you are bringing in 991s to flame the fire. Don't call me by my first name unless you sign off with yours.

rmc1148 - Why even have a "find it cheap thread", or a "high end thread". Why does this forum need to be a "Sales Board" except for those posting up their actual individual sale?? It is however obvious why both threads were started.

Well, I see people refer to you as Randy on a regular basis and you don't seem to mind. But once again, you are offended. Ironically, you seem to think it's OK to refer to me as "***" on a regular basis. And then you tell me to grow up. Of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't resorted to namecalling. I prefer to make my points with a little light-hearted humor so that maybe we can still disagree and still have a little fun and camaraderie.
As for the purpose of this thread, I understand your concern that focusing on the low end of the market unfairly skews opinion and degrades the conversation. I may not agree with that, but I understand.
My hope here was that you and others who share that concern would have a thread that addresses that concern. I also hope that it will cut down on the persistent posts of "you realize that car is a ticking time bomb and cannot possibly be a good car" every time someone posts asking for an opinion on a car priced in the $30k's. Yes, we understand your prejudice against all lower priced cars, but the issue is evaluating the car in question.
I would prefer "Jeff" if that suits you better.

If someone asks for an opinion I will continue to give mine. When someone starts out looking for a car of this complexity with a low budget and limited mechanical skills I consider it a recipe for disaster so I give a heads up. Also the questionable repairs some people do undermine a great car in my opinion and they are better off with something they can afford to repair properly. My favorite is how people that will spend god knows what on exhaust upgraded turbos etc but complain and skimp when they need say an alternator etc. Thanks Jeff for the civil response.

I didn't catch that. Kc I have never reported anything to anyone and if I did I would PM whomever it involved and tell them of my intentions first. If someone reported you or someone you know it wasn't me period.

This is a good thread, please let's keep it going. I find it soothing to see that someone somewhere may have paid more than me for a 996tt

Most people pay good money for clean examples they just don't advertise it here. I believe you had a trans problem but that is something that was unforeseen. The price of a nice 996t is still on par of say a loaded f150.
