Default Possible to find a 997tt in 60k range?

Wondering from those have purchased and looked around whether or not this is feasible? It seems that there are a few out there, but not many. Am I delusional thinking that this is indeed possible?

Thx for this lead. I did see this one in the AT, but the mileage is a tad higher than what I am hoping for. This is why I think it may be difficult to find something. I am hoping for a vehicle with no more than 70k KM's.

Best of luck with your search.
There are so many sources for cars, as they say ... money talks.
Find a few cars that you are willing to buy and negotiate your best deal, if it works great, if not you need to step up your budget.

Even if you need to stretch a bit to get the car you really want, it will be well worth it. Spend the money to get a car you will enjoy and love.

I see a lot of TT's in the 60's. Anything around 40k miles and nobody wants it..It's really silly if you ask me.. A TT with 40k miles (properly taken care of) is just getting broken in..If your worried about re sale then you're in the wrong market...

Yes but I would not buy the cheapest Porsche you can afford from a specific model range. Either save up a little longer, or get a Carerra S.

I notice everyone looking for cars that have very low mileage, prices of these are typically quite astronomical, sometimes unreasonable.
I bought mine with 40+K and it still extremely tight and great to drive. Personally I have never been spooked by mileage and run my cars quite high. As long as they are maintained and have strong bones to start with, there is no reason to fear higher mileage cars.
The added benefit is that you save $15000 on the purchase, and a lower mileage car is not necessarily going to be better.

I have no problem jumping into a slightly higher mileage car IE: 40K. So long as it has been cared for and records are straight.

I have someone working on a few leads for me as we speak. Fingers crossed!

+1 - great suggestion and agree. You can buy a nice Carrera S or 4S for that budget.

+1 on saving $15K, more money for mods

I just found my 997.1TT for low $60k range. The best of all it's a CPO car and still has 18 months of warranty left.

Great car for the price! At the end of the day, the only thing that is different is the odemeter. Other than that, pride of ownership will be in abundance! Enjoy your new car.

Congrats! I assume it was the one in the classifieds here on Rennlist - that was definitely a good deal! Enjoy!

There was an 07TT on Long Island with quite a bit of aftermarket goodies in the high 60's.

Yes it was on for sale section here but I found it over 6speedonline. I was not a member here. I still haven't picked up car yet. Can't wait!
Hope you will find yours soon. GL.
