Default Just Drove 997TT

Have to admit, Awesome car.....
Tischer Porsche have a 997TT available for immediate delivery. Seal gray/Black sport seats....great car. I went there to put a down payment on a 997 GT3, but let me tell you, that turbo is extremely tempting. Asking price approx 130K. contact Jay Kleiman @ 301-890-3000.

Just called:

Car has 385 miles on it. The original owner brought it back.

Slate Grey Metallic
Black interior
Heated Front Seats
Sport Chrono
6 Disc
Short Shift
Porsche Crest in headrest
Adaptive Sport Seats
Black Matts

-- $131,600 which was the original MSRP on the car. Not much if any wiggle room on the price.
I would actually get it (over my car up north) because of the adaptive seats but it's in Maryland.

I would advise you and anyone else looking for a Turbo to pay over sticker.

Why would you pay over, if the car is @MSRP?

I wonder why the original owner brought it back. You know the dealer didn't give him 100% of his money back. There should be some room there.

That's what... 3 people we "know" who have decided to unload their 997TT's? Not a good sign.

Andrew and Doc, I think I am going to sell mine too based on all of this substantive data we have been accumulating here in this forum. Darn car is just plain awful. I say everyone on here who actually owns the 997TT should sell theirs. And everyone who doesn't own one, but just likes to down talk the car, should not consider buying one.

The '911 Turbo' has always been associated as a 'supercar' and at the pinnacle of Porsche production design.
Carrera GT aside for the moment, the 996TT and 997TT have become Gran Touring cars more than 'supercars'.
The GT2 (and maybe the GT3) are perhaps more fitting of holding the top spot.

Many folks who are looking for a '911 Turbo' might therefore be a little underimpressed with the 997TT.

They are definitely very good cars, but I don't think they're great cars anymore.
