^yeah, whenever I see stuff, I wonder if they really loved those wheels so much they had to have them, or if they took a car with a lot of problems and fixed it cheaply or Half a**ed

I thought that this would go higher, for sure. What a great spec.

I'm now feeling salty about my 2003 TT purchase price this month.
IMHO that was a pretty good price. That car is not that special to me, basically a normal 50k mile Turbo with PCCBs and the wrong wheels.

Yep, 100%. Turbo twists looks much better.

2 things. 19s are too big for 996s, and the 997 wheels look like AMG SL63 wheels, yuck.

I agree. It would be a nice TT to own, but not as special as they tried to get everyone to believe. I do think it will make a very good TT for someone. I’ve seen nicer ones produced from 2001-2004. Amazing the number of people that liked those wheels over turbo twists. They just don’t look right on a 996 to me.

Yeah, it seems the consensus here is the opposite of the people on BAT. 997 wheels look like a grand touring car, 996 wheels look like a sports car.

Yes, new record for a Cab or a Coupe. Good golly Miss Molly all in $156,000.00. Wow.

That's exceptional and I'll be interested to see if the sale closes.

Edit: checked the bid history and banter, it may be that this is legit and the result of a Friday afternoon anatomy measuring contest.

This was a pristine car with two determined bidders that both wanted it. That’s the ideal situation.

I think the turbo below will also end up in the low to mid six figure range.

Agreed on that X50.

A rising tide may lift all boats, but it all had to come together for that cab to end up where it did. I don't think that ending bid is much more than an outlier.

Not an outlier, a foreshadowing of things to come.

It's funny how subjective value is. I am in the process of getting an '01 at the moment. I felt like I overpaid compared to what prices were two years ago. Now I feel like a got a great deal after catching up on this thread!
