Default Saw this 997.1 TT on Autotrader today. Thoughts?

2007 TT with low mileage and two CA owners. Interesting color combo and has the wood accents inside. Clear bra on front and tinted windows. He bought it CPO from the dealer about 5 years ago. Full service at Porsche about a year ago. He was not aware of the coolant pipe issue on these cars when I spoke to him. Autocheck clean. Decent build sheet with PCCB's and Sport Chrono. $155,000 new.

Always appreciate the owners of these cars opinions.

I ran across that one not too long ago. Might have been posted in the 997 deals thread. I like the exterior a lot but the interior is not to my taste. 69k seems like a stretch but it's definitely optioned out.

500 miles in the past year...

Btw, I'm pretty happy with the tip so far. Others will of course poo-poo it, but it's really not bad at all.

Gorgeous car. The pccb is nice too, high sticker. If it was manual, I'd own it by now.

A year ago I would have laughed at such a car but somehow a forest green 911 with wood really appeals to me. (but damn it - practically all 911s appeal to me these days)

YMMV
Exactly what I was thinking. The gray + wood + Tip makes me think it was an older gentleman type looking for a change of pace from his Jaguar and S-Class.

The exterior/interior color combo is not my cup of tea, but there's a butt for every seat. Looks very clean. The price seems high/top of the market considering mileage, color combo, and tip.

Nice looking car at at great price! The grey with the sycamore trim looks nice . I like how it was carried in the trim between the seats. Mine is below with the painted trim.

Ceramic brakes a big plus as well. Low miles for a 12 yo vehicle!

That's very different in a very good way. I really like it.

Trim, you can always swap out if you end up not liking it.

The wood is not necessarily the problem. It is the combination of the gray interior (but not natural leather gray which is more black than gray), with the wood and non sport seats. Wood is an easy swap, but the seats or gray interior would be a bit more difficult.

The interior kills it for me, plain and simple. Your mileage may vary... it's just so... OMG, what when wrong in here?

I get this color and interior aren’t for everyone. But, it is a very clean two owner CA car with low mileage and PCCB. I like it because it is so different from most other cars like it I have seen. I have been looking for a while and I never see the burgundy before. Anyhow, in the process of having a PPI done.

If you want a unique low mileage turbo, go for it. I have been reading so many value threads across these forums and ive come to the conclusion that if you can look at a car and then it still be on your mind hours later, then buy it. But if you have any reservations, then simply don't. That will lead to regret and ruin the ownership of these vehicles.

If you want an auto, and he can move on price a little, then take it! If it was a black or natural tan interior and manual this would easily be a high $80k car that Holt Motorsports would buy and list for $120k
