Per the MENSA members on here, you need to get rid of it. Overall consensus amongst them is.......worthless.

I wouldn't say "worthless" - some of it could be parted out, and the metals will have some scrap value, after all.

The car is further devalued by the dust particles evident in the pic.

The sum of all parts is probably worth more than the car if sold as is.

Better to part it out now before people wont like 997 TT anymore.

Is that a high mileage Mezger? If your car is a 2013 model I'm impressed. Anything short of that, you need to drive more

5k miles since March sounds like fun.

That car is just starting to get broken in! Don’t dump it yet, unless the stereo gets jacked up.

I am enjoying every mile.

Things that are being repaired:

-Passenger A- pillar material adhesive is peeling. It appears in its previous ownership someone cut major corners and the cheap job cannot stand up to the texas heat.
-Front dash leather trim is peeling back from the windscreen, looks to have not been maintained well. I knew it was an issue when I bought the car and I tried to recondition the leather, no dice.
-Both Maf sensors need to be replaced + replace the tech art air filter with a OE filter

-Ohlins road and tack will be going on the car
-At John's recommendation from autoquest (Thanks again John!) I'll be putting on slotted rotors and ferodo ds2500 pad's on the car


After that it will be quite literally 100%

A good UV blocking window tint is a must! It will save your dash and leather....and keep the heat out.

After the 600 miles trip I am about to take this weekend I may be hitting 70k

I bought it last September with 60.5k miles. I have my truck I use for work, and 2 motorcycles I use on sunny days. I have no idea how I accrued so many miles in this beast but I am ok with it
