There's a huge difference between a whole sale price and a nice well optioned, no story,appropriately serviced and well taken care cars.
Just 'coz the whole sale price is mid 60's doesn't mean all 07's should be a low 70's cars
We can go on and on about the pricing as we do every few weeks but low priced cars always have some sort of issues/stories which doesn't matter to majority of people but nice cars would always be priced higher,period.

For example, a car with 10K miles may have worn seats and bolsters, dry leather and road rash on the front bumper (which may not be evident in the online pics), whereas a car that's been well maintained with 20K miles may have a pristine interior with supple leather seats and a clear bra that's kept the bumper and hood looking new.
Now both cars may be priced the same, but without seeing them in person you could argue the car with 20K miles should be cheaper and therefore pass up a superior specimen purely based on internet searches.

+1 C2..
What is it with people who want TT's? Do TT's expire when they get 50k miles on them? It's a freaking car for Gods sake.
22k miles is high mileage? Have you not seen the thread on the 996TT forum with a TT that has over 300k miles with the original turbos clutch and tranny?.
It's a Porsche not an old Ferrari. It's meant to be driven. Buy it... Drive it.. Then get another one...That's why I work..
Like aa909 said.. I higher mile car can be a much better deal that a lower mile car.. Just based on the way it has been treated.
My car has 61k on it.. I don't care about it's resale..When I get tired of it I'll trade it in and get another one..
I just drove a friends 08 TT with 9k miles on it. My 07 feels just as new and just as tight..
If anyone thinks these cars are an investment they are going to be sorely dissapointed..
There I feel better...

Just to clarify i dont think 22000 is high mileage its just MORE than I want, but not too high for me to not consider. Every Porsche I've owned except for the Cayenne has had over 50k miles and for once I want something as close to new as possible.

Just tell me how to convince the wife to let me go to 82000 and I'll have a car by Monday!!!
Anyone know this car??? If he came down to 72 I could swing it. Only thing I'd have to do is get rid of tint.

While we are at it Jerry whats the story with your avatar pic woman? Cmon spill the beans. Way too many versions of her over time to be a model you came across on the net.
Like that last car too... One picture troubles me where the wheel seems to be red.
This was an option in some cars, color coded turbo factory wheels, but have never seen it in red. That pic must be from another car. Its an interesting option. Here it is on a cobalt car.

I suggest you keep shopping and consider a CPO car with a warranty. I would search the pre-owned section of the Porsche web site.

It's the end of the month and heading to January, you will find willing dealers at this time of year.
Here are 27 for you to evaluate:

A google search of the VIN finds the car has been offered for sale at various places, for instance at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership (Siatta Trudeau) in Pahrump NV., and Tempe AZ.
I'm always a bit suspicious when a car moves around a bit. Why has it not sold?
While one might point out the color works against the car -- I happen to like the color -- that's too easy.
Do your research!
