Would LOVE a '09 TT like that, no change to find such a daring and polarizing color in Europe though.

No wonder it only has 9400+ miles; poor thing spent most of its time hidden in a dungeon.

WTF. A TT trying to be a GT3RS ? LOL. I guess being subjected to folks gesturing a stroking arm out the window must have got the better of the owner....hence the car being for sale? This is a special colour that really belongs only on a GT3RS and, it looks good on that car. A TT...definitely NO!!

If I got that car, then almost no one would realize I had bought another car - especially my neighbors.

Interesting to me is that the car is now listed with a different dealer than the original one when I first saw the ad.

I was looking at the car when it was at Byers Porsche, $90k and a few would have bought it. I liked it but didnt LOVE it and settled on the 996 instead.

It's one of those cars that everyone says they want to buy but none of those people ever seem to put their money up lol.

I'm sure there is a genuine buyer out there somewhere. As they say "you've got to have one to sell one", so at one point someone will eventually materialise with a cheque book. I saw a bright pink 997 when i was in Tokyo recently (eeks)......so someone obviously loved that enough to buy it....so there is still hope for this vendor.

I wonder if that car had an aero kit, side skirts, black wheels etc if it wouldn't look so akward? But then again you would just be trying to make it look like a GT3 RS. Like Speed said.. Someone will love it...
