Suggest you study what is on the market nationally. Check auto trader, cars.com, Cars Gurus, ebay, etc.
I just bought (1 wk ago) a 07 Turbo, very clean, straight OEM car with 30K miles in the low $60's after a 2 month search. During the search I was finding about 35 to 40, 07 - 08 Turbos, nationally on the market, some with mileage below 10K miles. I checked with dealers and private sellers after cars were sold and I came close on three cars before I bought my car.
My target was a clean car with 25K or less miles. I went to 30K on the car I bought due price and how clean the car was. I could of bought 2 different very high optioned cars, Ceramic brakes, all high $$ options, leather everywhere, original stickers $150k+ for $76K. In each case my top number was $74K. I blew another deal in the $69K range on a very nice 20K mileage car (I should of known when to stop working the deal). I also should of moved faster on a nice 15k mileage Turbo that was purchased two days before I called at $72K.
My assessment of the current market is higher mileage cars 45-50K miles and north = High $50's to low $60's.
7 to 30K mileage cars - High $60's up to mid $70's based on condition( ranging between very good to almost showroom new), options(what & how many) and how the negotiations go.
If you wait long enough you may sometimes find (as a buyer) a great deal.
I agree you should take to car back to as close to OEM as you can get and sell of the goodies on the side.
Hope the information is helpful.

Car is indeed beautiful in black with GT2 wheels.
Tiptronic hurts the resale.
Warranty is a bonus.
Id put the factory head unit back in place.
All other mods are nice to have but will not fetch a premium over stock.
Id say low 70's high 60's depending on location and pool of buyers.
6 speed 2007 Turbo coupes with low miles are fetching in the low 80's and 70's.
What is interesting is the current 2007 GT3 market compared to the current 2007 TT market.
I think soon the 2007-2008 GT3 market will be fetching more then the 2007-2009 TT market.

Thanks everyone for your honest feedback. 85K was high and I knew it but high 60's is too low. So, I guess I'll be in the mid to high 70's. Too bad I should have bought the 6MT blue coupe I was going to buy before I settled on a TIP because of the NVA/DC traffic.
I guess bringing my TT up to today's standards (better PCM, flash etc) really isn't going to pay the dividends I thought. Oh well, if I sell/trade the new owner can return the car to stock with the OEM parts I'm including.

Every area is different, but in MD I've seen tip 07 turbos with low miles listed in the upper $70Ks. So your asking price would be in the ballpark of what dealers would be asking for a car like yours. Unless you are in a hurry to sell, a bad strategy is to ask a low price since no matter what your asking price is, a buyer will want a lower price. On the other hand if you ask too high of a price, and $85K would qualify, it's very unlikely that you will generate any interest.
Here's a suggestion. Take your car to the nearest CarMax, and see what they will pay for your car. I suggest CarMax because they typically offer more than any Porsche dealer. The CarMax appraisal will establish the wholesale price for your car. Without seeing your car, I'd expect that it will wholesale for high $50Ks. Realistically a private buyer should be able to get around 10% over the wholesale price.

I am curious as to when the 997TT market is going to bottom-out. There has to be a premium above the 996's which I think are now in the low to mid 40's. With my 993 continuing to climb and the 997 TT falling, hopefully my delta will continue to decrease.

Like others have sad I would think High 60's to low 70's as well.. I also agree to sell the AM parts separately. You'll at least recover some cash that way.. You wont if you sell them on the car.
Good luck with the sale and the new 09!

As an aside, would like to know which head unit you used as a replacement for the OEM PCM.
