Default Check Out Carmax for a Nice 08 TT and 14 TTS

Carmax currently has what appears to be a very well equipped 08 TT dark gray/brown cab 6MT with PCCB's, aftermarket exhaust or tips, upgraded wheels, and other nice options. The price is $65,9.
They also have a an incoming 2014 TTS but they haven't posted pictures yet. The price is $98,9.
They also just added a silver/blue 12 TTS cab with 44K miles for $79.9. If I was in the marketr I think I would be all over that one at that price!
I'm not affiliated with Carmax but I do buy their cars.

The TTS according to the website is Silver over Blue and a Cabriolet.

The 14 TTS is not showing up.

They do have a 2008 Macadamia Cab 31k miles in Ca. for 64k.

Somebody must have grabbed the 14 TTS before it hit the website. A good deal at $98.9 IMO.

$98.9K for a 2014 TTS? Really? What happened to THAT market? That is CRAY-ZEE! And tempting... but not that tempting.
I actually don't believe this. I believe it may have been a mistake, even if it had a lot of miles.

I don't think it was a mistake. Carmax will remove a car from their website if it needs additional maintenance, it's sold before it hits their website, it's transferred or there are registration issues just to name a few. When I saw the 14 TTS for $98.9 it was posted as a new arrival without pictures or other information. It's not unusual for Carmax to undervalue a car because they aren't swept-up in the hype, they just want to sell it. No doubt it was either sold to them or traded because they low ball their offers just like any other dealer. It may have had damage too that devalued the car but I didn't check into that. Take for example the incoming 12 TTS cab that's at least $20K back of the current market. You have a 12 TTS coupe, what does the Carmax price do to your value? I know it hurts mine.

Carmax looks at three things, damage history, miles, and condition. They also don't factor in options, color, rarity and etc. That's why they are the best deal in town when it comes to price, warranty and reliability. (JMO)

The 997.1 Turbo is reserved, but I'm not sure I'd consider these 'upgraded' wheels. Anybody know what brand they are?

this was reserved before i could get to it but came back on the Carmax site a couple of days back. So was able reserve and am having it shipped to where i am in NC. Hopefully there were not any issues with the car that put it back on the market but i will do a PPI once it gets here.

Will you be able to do a PPI before you purchase? I hope so!

^ Carmax doesn't allow PPIs prior to purchase. They have a 5 (or maybe 7?) day money-back policy where you can return the car for any reason.. So you obviously would do a PPI within that window and return it if there was something on the report you didn't like..

Or CarMax might fix whatever was on the report (at their cost) in order to keep you from returning it..

that’s the plan. Do the PPI during the 7 day return period

it was 700 to ship to NC from CO. They base the pricing on distance. The most i have seen is around 950 (CA to NC)
