Input on moving to another 997 TT

I like 993S - (gosh what a terrible avatar!). If it had a black wheel it'd be perfect, but that'll probably never happen..ho hum...
I agree 100% with the above- get the new electronics. However, if I found White over sea blue I'd not bother on the years. - Or your super great spec cars 07 & 08 cool.
I also like the wrap idea- this is new to me but I've seen a few- matte black on a GT silver CGT looked hot IMO. I was shocked to think someone painted a CGT, but to find out it was a wrap and protected the car. made sense.
My GF boss who has 200+cars was selling his 07 TT but it was a tip. white/black -mint- 7500 miles- $85k to give you a ballpark. (car dealership owner).
Top 3 I'd go:
1. best spec car you can find
2. best 09
3. wrap your current car

Okay here is an update.. I have decided to keep my car and forget about the miles. I have looked at every 07, 08 and 09 on Autotrader at the present (in white silver or grey) and not seen ONE car that has the options that mine has. Not even close. The only highly optioned cars were "Tips" and that is out of the question for me.. I will just buy more goodies for mine and enjoy it...

excellent Phillip. Good choice.
Now, just wrap your car! I think I would go for matte grey - like a USAF color... Easy to clean! Tired? Change it to matte white... Ruf does that color...
Possibilities are endless.

shut you mouth teebo! 
congrats-
do something ridiculous and then change it every 24 months-
I'm considering do a wrap for the LSU football season- maybe a honey badger fading into smoke?

You can suppress it by throwing money at your current car, but that will not help in the end. I'd suggest, before you start spending, give it another month or two, you will find something for sale, and when you change you will feel very relieved.
I have my Turbo 3 months, it is marvelous, but if I had the money now, which I do not, I would change to a GT2 without looking back, even if I lost the money on that trade. In my opinion, if one loves 911 Turbo then the logical move is GT2. Oh, I wish money would fall out of the sky on me, I'd buy a GT2 and keep it forever.

Thanks gentelmen... I will keep my car.. I will get a GT2 in the future to keep the TT company...
I was looking a 455 Italia's yesterday and Mclarens in Beverly Hills... When I was leaving the McLaren store a guy pulled up in a white Gt2 RS.. I want that car....Just the sound makes me want to write bad checks....

Phillip,
Before I bought the GT silver one, my buddy in NY is selling an 07 White with 15k miles on PCCB ( loaded out) with a full techart GT street kit. If you're interested, lmk and I'll pass on his info to you

I can understand moving on because of the black maintenance. My son had a black '07 TT, had fun with it, and moved on with growing family to a Chevy Avalanche truck. Happier now.
I keep my Porsches around 10 years, and am now at 64K. I would not move on for miles reasons.

I think the wrap is a good idea and as for miles, I think the motor is not even half way there. Think I saw a high 200k mile 996tt once or was it 300k? Don't recall, but enjoy her in good health.
