Both are nice and pretty similar. Depends on what options you prefer. Prices are a little high IMO. I purchased 09 TT a few months ago with 8500 miles for 85k. Good luck in your search.

Both cars are nice, I'd say 89.9 on the first and 86.5 on the second.
Re the .2, I'd say 96-102 is the sweet spot.

do you guys think the limited slip differential is a MUST HAVE for the 997 6 speed? I saw couple cars I like but none of them come with it...

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll note you can have an LSD installed. Personally, I wouldn't let the lack of a factory LSD keep me from purchasing an otherwise "just right" car.

DME looks fine IMO.

Yes, the DME report you posted above. At 7,400 rpm, the engine fires 22,200 times per minute, which is 370 times per second. Nine ignitions in range 4 represent about 9/370 = 0.024 of a second, or 3 revolutions.

3,512 ignitions in range 1 equates to approximately 1,170 revolutions, which take about 10 seconds at 7,000 rpm.

Probably close to $90K, but they could do a better job of touching up the driver's seat bolster. Looks sloppy in the picture.

I'm assuming a clean history.

It improves handling...under power and during decel...will you track the car? If yes, Option 220 is nice to have, if not don't worry about it.

LSD and adaptives were my only two must haves.
