My 2012 6MT has fewer miles, but alas is black, so I guess I can get 210 for it .

Truer than you know. I'm diving in the Mediterranean now, and have done 191 dives so far this year. I've been gone all but a few days since June! Can't wait to get back to driving in a couple of more weeks!

What do you guys think of this car? PCCB from factory. Might be risking by posting here without a deposit, but I'm ready to trade my RS7 in for this. PPI noted broken cupholder and CD tray, cracking spark plugs, failed hydraulics on rear wing and TPMS sensors need replacing. These all seem really minor. Plugs/coils should be less than $1k, I'd probably get the eRAM kit for spoiler and TPMS I can change myself as well. How has this car sat since June?? Is tiptronic THAT bad?

(if you are doing the plugs and coils, might as well deal with the coolant pipes.. I assure you that is not $1K ... plugs / coils, oil change, air cleaner were $1200 for my .2 car.)

that is a tiptronic car.... actually a great cruiser but that tranny might be disappointing after coming from a RS7 plus you have to consider the typical .1 fixes that need to be done at some point. But for that kind of money.. a lot of car.

Been feeling the weight in the rs7 recently and want something lighter. I debated TTRS even but it seems like not owning a 996/7 is a mistake.
So far there's been no note of coolant lines being pinned/welded but that's on my radar for sure if not already done. Oil change was done by dealer already, thought it may need brake fluid flush and diff fluid flush. What else would be left to do really? As is, RS7 rear brakes and tires are gonna run me close to $4k, the 997 seems like it'll be cheaper to own lol

believe it or not.. the tiptronic works well with a turbo engine and it is bullet proof. It just isn't the PDK and you might be disappointed in the downshifts. You will have to drive it.

Honestly still hard to believe it's sitting for 4 months at this dealer when I've seen others sell for 70-75k within a few days

that car has been on auto trader for a while now. relatively speaking, in 997 TT terms, miles are on the high side which is another reason i think the price seems low. if you look at all the 997TT currently for sale on auto trader right now, that car is at the top end. i wouldn't hesitate because of the mileage but i think that like others have said if you are coming from an RS7 the transmission might be disappointing. i am a manual guy at heart but the DSG in my RS3 is an amazing gearbox.
