A $70K 12 TTS is the deal of the century, if it's real. I wouldn't sell mine for less than $100K. I hope it works out for you but beware of hidden undisclosed issues.

That's about $30k below avg selling price... Very curious to see how this plays out. I just purchased a 1 owner CPO 2011 TTS with 13k miles from Porsche dealer for $92.5k. Looked for couple months and it was a very good price compared to what else I've seen out there. JT

I've had 2 different .2 Turbo S coupes over the years at different times. I love them completely. I downsized into my current car almost 3 years ago because it was financially the right move for me at that time. Don't do much in terms of auto X or HPDE like it did 5 years ago in other cars so the one thrill my .1 gives me is the nice sound and the manual tranny. One negative for me about the .2 TTS was the lame sound of the exhaust but that can be changed quickly for a few bucks which I never did.

Price does seem darn low.

Here is the car. I was trying to get a PPI done at Porsche while I drive up to see the car tomorrow but the Porsche dealership has no appointments till Thursday. Trying to see what my options are now.

How's the paint and interior condition? Were you able to rest drive it? Great deal if there are no cosmetic issues and drives right . With only 45k miles shouldn't need much.

Here is the interior. I have yet to see the car in person. I have been told it is great condition but who knows till I see in person. To be honest the price is $73,xxx but I believe I can get it down a little further.

Why are you not posting the link to this car? At least post up the vin so that people can help.

If there is a $70K Turbo S floating around, someone around here will know about it.

Doesn't want anyone else beating him to it. Understandable...

That IS a smoking deal in my opinion!! Very well bought!!

I'm here in ATL as well. Hope to see you out at a car meet up or something.

I’ve been searching for at least 5 months for a 997 Turbo S and there has not been another car close to this on the market. I thought I found a deal with an ‘11 with 53k mikes and a two year warranty. Car has so many Blemishes, nicks and sings in the paint, I just didn’t trust that the previous owner expressed any care wirh the car. That car is listed at $79k. A year older and more miles. And still $9k more expensive.
