So, with all of this considered, where do you guy's see the 'bottom' of the price curve mileage wise? On well maintained and documented 993 Turbo's which are 15 years old now, it seems to be at +/- $50K for cars with 75K - 90K miles. I'm seeing a few 997.1 Turbo's at 50K miles in my searches for $60-65 and I'm assuming that as soon as the 991 Turbo is available, there will be more 997 TT's on the market as people move up which might push re-sale prices down a bit .. maybe 10% ... or do you think strong demand will keep prices stable?
what is the BID price?
also, the world situation is changing all the time, the gas may get very expensive, there may be new exhaust taxes, maybe there is a conflict of such magnitude that bid price is nonexistent as people worry about more important things than impractical sportscars... who knows
Better not to think about prices, in fact, it could happen that you are not here tomorrow to worry about prices, things happen you know.
Buy a car if you want it and enjoy it now.

" The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day, when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears, and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai. " ;-)

Purchased at 50k, been a few months now at 53k. I have replaced spark plugs and 2 oil changes. I think i will be doing the water pump next. I had no records of previous maintenance so i will have the work done to keep a good peace of mind. Since purchase i have added a few modifications and APR tune, she seems to be holding rock solid

Being out of warranty this is scary. I will ask dealer if they will still warranty my car with the modifications they have installed themselves.

Just curious about your post and please don't take this wrong..
Two oil changes in 3 thousand miles? Why? Can you explain further? That seems a waste of money and 18 liters of oil.. Water pumps typically do not need be considered for replacement (preventative) til around 70k or more.. What prompted you to change it at at 50k? Have you had a bad experience?
Good call on the plugs.. Who knows the last time they were done..
If you have a good relationship with a nearby dealer they can run the VIN and tell you any dealer maintenance history. At least that way you can have some kind of records..
Pictures of your car please!!
