After many a year after selling my beloved 993 GT2 Rep (before they went up in value) - I have just put a deposit on a 997TT.
Getting a PPI done in the next week - but it has Porsche CPO and is pretty highly specced:
PCCB, Sport Chrono, LSD, Sports Seats, Heated Seats, Deviated stitching everywhere (Dash, door trims, centre console centre stack, steering Wheel) Red belts F+R ,White Dials.
Haven't seen the car in person - its interstate - but had a Master look at it - and then arranged for PPI. He foresees no issues - so hopefully be adding it to the collection.
Bought the seller as much as the car - and the way the Master Tech described him as "extremely picky" sealed the deal.
It has taken a little longer than I would have liked (health issues aside) to get back in the fold but hopefully (!) I'm back.

Good luck. In a similar situation with a PPI about to be ordered on a 997.1 TT. Look forward to seeing the pictures and full build. I have a thread on mine going here.
When i know more and have more I'll post ... Trying to get Flights booked now!

I'm in Au - and we have had CPO for up to 10 years until recently - and it has just been extended to 15 on vehicles that have been continuously under warranty and have been serviced at Porsche.

If this is a 09 and less than 30k miles I can only imagine what the price is
Not an '09 (there were so few sold here) but less than 30K miles - its an MY 08 and it has 40K klms (so about 25K miles)

Negatives:
1 - Front Screen has a star in it - not able to have a roadworthy cert supplied.
2 - Has aftermarket Springs (H+R)
3 - Has a leaky Spoiler ram.
4 - Due for a major Service
Positives:
1 - Tech says "cleanest 997 Turbo he's ever seen - other than a new one"
2 - Super High Spec.
3 - The service is a TIME issue - not a klms travelled issue - it was serviced about 3000 kms ago
4 - Honest upfront seller - who apologised about the issues (inc springs - which he assures me (and I believe him) that he knew nothing about)
We were able to work out a deal that worked for both sides - and I am picking up Friday this week and Driving 1000 kms home.
Will update with pics when I finally see it in person,
I assume your time based service needs are mostly driveline fluids.....not a big deal and <$1000. Bought a 2007 997tt 12k mi and found that the rear motor mounts needed to be replaced bc they deteriorated over time, did trans mount at the same time. This subtle change was very noticeable in improving shifting and clutch "take-up".....highly recommend on a 12 yr old car....parts $650, easy to do yourself if you do diy.
So i am now the proud owner.
The PPI was a hit and a miss from the Official Porsche Centre. Still in the process of a resolution.
Car is Mint. Love the colour. Love the options and LOOOVE the boost. Great to be back in a boosted 911 again, feels like home.
It needs a few things - the tyre roar on the 1000klm trip home was INSANE - Mismatched Pirelli (Corsa R and P Zeros F - WTF??? ) and 2012/13's to ensure i threw them out ASAP.
Pics:
First Fuel stop just around the corner from pick up. Its Low......
Driver Change:
Melbourne to Sydney - not the most exciting drive:
Scenery:
Bugs. Killed = Tick.
Home safe and locked inside:
Total ownership time = 21 Hrs: Must. Fix. Wheels:
New wheels and tyres and a quick stop at the Car Wash with the Manager drooling....
Much better!
Tyre roar + and minor vibration = GONE.
Crap ride from H&Rs still evident although not thoroughly tested as yet, but can't fault the stance.
Loma Forged = LOVE!
At home - the garage shuffle to be started but Black Bonnet badge - already installed.
Safely tucked away and shuffle completed:
EP2 and alignement and fluid flush on list ASAP. A few other niceties to come as well.
So far - in LOOOOVE!
