Your car is awesome and you have spent a lot of time and money on it.. But if someone is willing to pay in the 90's for an 07 I would probably take it!

Have you driven the S yet? Are you cool with the PDK? Something to think about..

Sold my Ferrari, and bought a Porsche. No remorse.

Sounds good. I'd make sure he leaves with it at that price. You can always buy an 09 as someone else suggested if you still feel inclined to stick with the 997 platform. I will say your car looks WAY better without that ridiculous looking CMS rear spoiler though. That thing smells of cheap rice, clearly does not belong on the car. Actually it makes it look like a cheap toy glider you would buy from a chinese 2 dollar shop for your kids. Hint hint Nick.

I would agree the .2 GT3 is the sweeter and generally more rewarding drive if you are driving one up. Just lacks the practicality for most who prefer the creature comforts and general practicality which come with the TT. I would also agree that the in gear shove of the turbo could be easily foregone in favour of GT3.2's engine note alone.

Now I know you are definitely pulling my leg. Have you ever considered being a comedian?

Edwin, car looks great with stock wing and rg5 rims. The only wing that works on a 997tt is the oem aerokit.
Sell, not sell, nah I'm keeping it. Actually selling my 930, prices are crazy.

Totally agree with you doc. The oem airokit rear wing is the only one I've seen that looks even remotely sensible on this car. The rest just go toward ruining and unnecessarily cheapening the car, making the owner look a bit of a pud puller.. Some guys are at pains in trying to be different and in that process spend a lot of time and money to only wind up with a very second class looking result.

On the decision to keep the 997tt and sell the 930, I would say VERY wise. I could never imagine in my wildest dreams selling a 997tt over a 930….but to each his own.

Igooz

You have a slanted (SN) view of things!!!!!

Money made on this transaction (sale price - purchase price ) should give you a good bit of chunk to pay for your next car.

Mods = $ so that would be a no

I love my car, but I'd sell it for $90k. I totally understand why you're apprehensive though.

Do you have a list of your mods? I love the side skirts and front lip.

I've been following a nice 96 one owner red/black F355 coupe with 17K miles for $67K at a local MB dealership. Since you're a Ferrari enthusiast what is there to know about the F355 other than it can be VERY expensive to repair? Good car, bad car, should I hold out for an F360 (they have an 04 spyder too) or California?

Turbo Ron

If you can get a 430 you will be much better off.

+1. I'm no Ferrari expert but i know the 430 is a lot easier to own than the 355. Maintenance on the 355 is crazy expensive..

430's have come down to very affordable levels (for a Ferrari.)

Interesting thread. 90+ is a stout price for an 07, but what a tough choice. Regardless of the comments on the wing, it's a beautiful, low miles 07, obviously done to fit your tastes. Regarding Ferrari's, I just sold a 550 Maranello to return to Porsche and an 09 TT and I couldn't be happier. Ferrari's are generally very expensive to maintain, that why the new cars come with free maintenance for 7 years. I agree with previous posters, step up to a 430 over a 355 or 360 if you can. Also, any early models equipped with their version of a PDK can be pretty crude in terms of operation and refinement, stick with a 6 speed unless you up to a 430 or later model IMHO.
