I think it could be even more given the 180 for the 997.2 w/20k miles. I'd probably take this one over the .2 based on the miles, even at the same price.

Interesting about the brakes. When I purchased my 09 six years ago wtih 900 miles it was CPO and the dealer did a a major 50K mile service, which was huge. It also had PCCB's so no issues at all with the rotors. Expect little thing to be repaired as the car goes into service but someone will be buying a time warp.

Bought this today on Pcar! Seems like a steal compared the $179k on BaT earlier this week.
So now I need to:
1. Come up with another really good explanation for my wife.
2. Sell my 2007 997.1 TT I bought earlier this summer.
3. Find some oem 997.2 TT wheels for my new purchase.

Looks like a great purchase. BAT seems to have cornered the market on buyers with money to burn. I prefer the wheels on the one you bought to the stockers.

1. Your wife should be gratified that you got great deals on both the cars you bought.
2. You can perhaps get more for the 2007 than you paid for it.

Great job; congratulations!

Groach, nice buy! Was thinking the same when I saw the results. Enjoy the new, new turbo dot 2 and let us know your opinion of the dot 1 vs 2.

@Groach i've ridden in the car several times. the seller is a good friend of mine. It's a very clean car with no stories. it was a great buy, I thought it would have gone at least 120k...... especially with the recent .2 on BaT that went for $179k. Congrats and enjoy in good health.

Hi Kevin8tor,
The BaT photographer took photos last Friday which is near the final step. I'm now waiting to review/edit the description which is the final step before it goes live hopefully sometime next week.

FWIW, This car sold on BaT for $54,997 on 12/3/2019. Mileage has not moved since. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-cabriolet-21/
and it sold for $68,500 on BaT on 6/1/18 - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...o-cabriolet-8/
It came from a local dealer in West Chester, PA back then - I knew I knew this car.

It may technically be one owner, but it's been bouncing around dealers lots since Spring 2018.
