Default Price point question

Hi Guys

Newbie to 997 Turbo question here. Why is this Turbo's price so low? Is it the mileage? Colors? Tip? Of course, there's no Carfax to look at so there might be an issue there .. but barring any problems/clean PPI, what do you think? Is it priced correctly at $60K? TIA

Honestly, only 07 TTs I've seen priced this low have been in accidents, and not just a minor bumper scuff.

I don't have a current Carfax account .. and even then, it doesn't always list all accidents... It doesn't seem WAY underpriced considering there are two others listed on Autotrader for $68-69 with 30K miles on them ..

It does seem somewhat underpriced, but if you're interested, then call fast and figure out what's up. It won't be available long. Go ahead and order a PPI.

I'd be all over this car if I didn't own one already!

Hey JP,
Are you planning on joining the 997 turbo club ?
If you are you'll not regret it. I recently re-joined and sold my 993 (my username was 993S until today btw) and have no regret what so ever.
I can't imagine you ever selling your 9 meister build but a 997tt would be a great addition for sure.
Good luck in finding what you want !
And welcome in this small part of the forum.

Hey Denis .. thanks for the welcome :-P Yes, I'm tire kicking for a DD with 'modern' features and the 997 series is VERY attractive. When I start running searches, surprisingly, Turbo's pop up in my range and it seems like a no-brainer when you compare them to base/S models or even 997.2's .. And yes .. this would be SpeedArena's stablemate .. she's my baby :-)

That's super news. I always loved your style and manners on the 993 forum and you would be a great addition here. Lately some great new turbo owners have joined the forum and this is getting an fun place to hang out.
You joining would only make this happen faster. So go get yourself a nice 997TT/1 and post, post and post some more. Of course with pictures, lots of them.

Nick, thanks. Like it too.

Looks like a deal to me... But like you said .. Carfax only reports things that were "reported"..Worth a PPI for sure...

The interior is a down side to some: no adaptive seats, beige, and ruffled leather.
Also a tip is not really wanted in the used car turbo market. They are harder to sell than a manual.
But if car is accident free and comes with up to date maintenance records it's a good buy for sure.

^^ Yep, I want a Tip and I really like brown interiors especially with black accents like this one but you're right, ruffled leather isn't my favorite, it really gets old looking quickly .. but at this price point, I think I could live with it. BTW ... gray/silver over cashmere/brown is one of my favorite combo's

Hey - someone (Denis) just called it ruffled leather - that's worth a $10,000 discount right there!
