I have X73 that I purchased from Carnewal many years ago (purchased and installed in April 2004.) According to Gert (Carnewal's owner) Porsche's X73 is no longer available.
Additionally, information that I've seen on this forum has indicated that X73 is no longer available. Maybe I misread things.

It took a lot of investigative work in PET to track down revised part numbers, piece together components from Techquipment etc..but it is achievable. That said…it was NOT cheap. It’s such a pristine example (pre-install photos attached), I felt obligated to keep it OEM but it would have been half the price, or better, to go with a nice set of Ohlins or similar on the aftermarket.
For those saying 50k miles and 100k miles de-value these cars by half each and again, I'd love to see a $25k Turbo for sale. Please link me!

For a 996TT to hit a $25k value it would have to have around 200k miles on it.

Someone should buy this car. 10k miles, one owner, 6 speed, full carfax history, Orient Red over dark Natural Grey. The photos do not do the color justice. Price has been lowered nearly every week. These dudes are looking to move this thing.

Curious as you mention keeping it OEM....why is your steel rear subframe cross member black? It appears to be painted? I don't think factory OEM came painted....

Orient Red always hard to move on 911; its spoofing “Candy Apple Red” from Happy Days
Arena & Zanzibar really the only two desirable “off” reds now

I don’t think any well maintained, accident free Mezger will drop much below $50K now regardless of miles
And that number is inexorably rising too

I've got a 02 Speed Yellow with 150k on it and wouldn't be selling even at 50k, With Mezgers never to be made again even high mileage ones will keep going up. I like to drive mine so who cares about the mileage. These motors are bullet proof and run just as good with 500k on them as 20k

Absolutely: high mileage is relatively meaningless when the drivetrain is freaking immortal. And it is
Besides, nothing like the Mezger will ever be seen again; not from Porsche, especially not from anyone else
and your MY2002 is an early "964.." unit which were still Made in Germany; freaking immortal AND priceless

can you please expand on your comment about the my02 being an early 964? I’m in the market for a 996tt.
What’s a reasonable price for a 996tt with x50 with about 40k miles?

1998-2003 “Early” Mezgers use a “964..” engine code and were all proofstamped “Made in Germany” on the engine block
(996GT1, 996GT2, 996GT3, 996Turbo)
2004-2012 “Late” Mezgers use part number “996..” and the redesigned engine blocks were outsourced to either: Austria, France, or Spain
(996GT2, 996GT3, 996Turbo, 997.1Turbo, 997GT2, 997GT3)
A reasonable price for any Mezger is many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. But for some inexplicable reason they can still be purchased for
pennies on the dollar due to a pervasive and seemingly perpetual ignorance as to what they really were
Thus if you want one, the time to buy is always yesterday. IE the artificially depressed pricing will not last forever
