Apparently, when it hits 1m miles, Porsche is going to do a full restoration on it.

To each their own, i love that my 2004 TT has only 38k miles on it, i drive it when i feel like driving it, i dont pay attention to the mileage but i rather drive my tesla in congested areas

An oxymoronic car for us if ever there was one

Still I predict big money simply by virtue of it being a low-mileage, Paint To Sample Mezger

These days that combo alone is enough to crack six figures, and more

Not sure how I feel about this one! Great condition, highly original, and "unique" (to say the least), sure it will bring some strong bids...

But on my personal "don't like" list,
  • Pastel Yellow paint
  • Graphite Grey interior
  • Front Bumperettes
  • Burl wood trim
  • Tiptronic

Unique optioned 4S with 030 that car is a good longterm hold

At some point in the future it will be worth a bloody fortune regardless of miles

Buy

Gotta love this T2 quote:

"...preventative maintenance at 383,000"

Long live the Mezger!!

A base Carrera probably doesn't belong in the Prestige 996tt thread even if it is modified to be a twin turbo. I wouldn't buy that car for $30k but I'm not the target market.

Nice looking car warts and all. Pastel yellow is one of my favorite colors that was available on 993's, it doesn't look as good on a 996 to me but still a good-looking car.

Exactly, Pastel is simply classic on 993, but for some reason just washes out on 996. Still Paint To Sample on any yellow Mezger is likely to be a formidable collector

DOH! Edited. How did I miss that! I saw the horsepower and listing and thought it was a turbo. Didn't even notice it was a non factory turbo car..

Always interested by each of these BaT sales. According to BaT on 996TT's "year doesn't matter"; I'd agree. Anyway, I want those floor mats.

Wowza $70K was unicorn color, or X50 money only last year. For an ‘01 in Silver and with almost 80K miles, this is astounding

Mezgers are really on the move now
