The beautiful black 2011 manual TT with 48k miles just dropped the asking price to $93k. They said they could offer CPO on it as well.

Too bad it's black.

 

Now that I’ve purchased a black one, I must jump on team black...clearly the fastest color

Shhhh - Don’t tell anyone but I still think that white looks better!

 

Oh I love to look at Black...Just hate taking care of it.

Blacks not a color, it's a lifestyle.

 

I already had 2 black cars in the fleet and no intention of adding a 3rd, when I was looking to buy a TTS a couple of years back. I looked at blues, silvers, grays, etc. Then I saw a black one and it was love at first sight. So now I have an black garage and absolutely no regrets. Enjoy your new ride Jeff!

 

For that price you’re into 991TT territory. This weekend I looked at a bunch of 991s and have to say I’m warming up to the newer cars. Coming out of a 996TT X50 for 10 years before sadly crashing at Laguna I was thinking 997TTS, but the 991TT (non S) is looking pretty compelling for about the same price.

 

You can’t get a 991 TT manual if that’s your thing. The .2 manuals are going to hold their value better as well, or at least they seem to be so far.

 

991’s are just to big. 997 and all previous models are just the correct size. Just look at the new stuff, it’s all moving away from that perfect size car. The 992? Awful design, they just ruined the car.

 

Great work. I found this one quite interesting https://www.thegablessportscars.com/...-turbo-s-c-60/

high mileage cab tts but seems to be in good shape. How's it valued at mid 60 compared to most others around 90 with 30k or so miles

 

Looks real nice. A similar quality and mileage 997.1 might run for ~$50-55k, so I see this as well priced for the 997.2 cab crowd.

 

Rule of thumb that works pretty well is $500/1000 miles for the 997.2 turbos. This one looks nice but 83k miles is way up there, $25k less than a 33k mile example is about right. The price looks ok for the miles but I wouldn't call it a bargain. What's nice is it lets someone get their foot in the door who otherwise couldn't afford a turbo, particularly if they are handy with a wrench. Not a lot of these higher mileage turbos around. Got mine last autumn with 57k miles and it was one of the higher mileage cars I found back then. Just fit in my budget.

 

I like the idea of driving around a top tier p car with basically no worries regard to miles/dings/minor hits causing significant depreciation. And the condition of this one had me thinking, couldn't tell if it's a 20k or 85k mile car from the pics. Not very familiar with the mechanicals of 7.2 tts, heard good things about reliability, anything common/should keep an eye on mech wise for a 100k mile tts?

 

Revisting this post from Jan, I spent a few months checking out 991s, test drove many, but the newer ones just never clicked on the fun meter with the possible exception of the 991.2 TTS. Ended up with a 25k mile black beauty aero kit 997.2TT.

 

At 83k miles I would not consider it unless A. the price was much cheaper or B. the PDK had been replaced. And that doesn't even account for all the other things that can go wrong. There's a reason that Fidelity warrantees get much more expensive when you get to high miles....80k and up. While there's anecdotal evidence of 100k cars with original PDK and engines they aren't the rule And if you are short enough on cash that you have to buy a high-mile car then think about what happened to Bronz when lightning struck twice.

If you buy 40k miles for $90k and drive 10k miles it will be easier to get money back later than a 86k mile car for $65k that would then need to sell with 96k miles....and the additional risk during ownership.

That car does look nice though.

 

pdk is my biggest concern as well, I’m also curious about how’s those pccb looking given the years &miles. From carfax seems 70k miles are racked by prev owner in last four years, I’d guess most are dd/commuting miles which isn’t that hard.
