Will keep an eye out. I am looking for similar year TT, but in automatic and no black, silver or grey. RJ

Thanks, Boss. Let me know. I believe automatics are definitely more common. Any luck?

the .2 cars also have a different front differential and handling dynamics (more rear wheel biased feeling) + cosmetic front and rear ends.

Not yet, but a couple on my radar I hope to see this week. 11 TTS Cab in grey at Sports Trend in Sherman Oaks and a 09 TT Cab in blue at BMW Murietta.

I assume you have seen these on Autotrader.

In total fairness, each was outdated prior to its release.

Yes, I agree.

That said, the PCM 2.1 system worked very well in my 2008 Turbo. It did everything that I needed it to do. The main reason for my original comment was that people often prefer the 2009 cars over the 2007 and 2008 because of the updated PCM. Seeing as how they are both outdated, I think the earlier cars should be considered also. They’re great cars.

Mine wasn't a shot at your comment. Just another frustrated jab at Porsche for being so bad at one technology while being so good at another. My 2005 Toyota had more multi-media amenities than my 2011 TTS.

I have also read that the .2 suspension is better out of the box vs. the .1. The DSC module is a must for the .1 in my opinion. Might not be as "necessary" in the .2.
