Thoughts?
So let me get this right. $80,000 and only 3 pictures of the car out of 20 total. All the same angle in the worst lighting possible! Really sad sales ad by this dealership.

Has barely moved since last week. Hopefully will finish strongly tomorrow.

Cheapo for an essentially brand new car, if you ask me. I thought it would go with an 8 handle.

With the buyer's premium the total price is almost $80K.

It pretty much blows away any current evaluation. It's actually quite impressive.

BAT is 'only' a 5% buyers premium, so $75.6K. Still, a pricey 6TT for sure!

But 3-5K mile cars are quite uncommon.

2001 20K mile 996TT...
Car is on the floor at my local dealership, I've seen it a few times. Nice car, but not a chance in hell I'd pay $67K for it, especially when $70K equal mileage '07 7TT's are pretty easy to come by.

The low mileage 997.1TT mezgers will not be reasonably priced for long.

I am a newbie to this site, so be gentle. I own several collector cars, including a 68 Shelby gt500, a factory Austin Healey 100m, as well as an 89 Porsche Speedster. I tell you this just to reference that I do have a little experience buying special "keeper" cars. Here is a short saga of my search for a 2005 Porsche 996 turbo s convertible. I started my search back in early 2015. I did not want a silver or black car. I wanted a low mileage, stock , convertible ( I live in northeast Ohio), one owner car, with a manual transmission, that I could keep for a long time and enjoy. It was a difficult search. It took me until August of 2016 ( a year and a half search), to finally find the right car. Any nice version of my expectation was gobbled up in record time. Several cars found their way back to Europe. I got close a few times but the nice cars disappeared fast. Traveling to see cars, inspections, and the man hours associated with the search is very time consuming. To make a long story short I found a nice seal gray car with a boxster red interior with 8600 miles. It was a beauty. I had it inspected by a local dealership and bought the car. I overpaid for the car. My time is too valuable and the number of years I have left to enjoy this beauty were not getting longer. I paid $74,000 for the car. The money is nice but the car is nicer. I enjoy every minute I am behind the wheel. Every man has to follow his dream.
