550Bryan - I've been looking for 2009 White TT with low miles and I couldn't find one with PCCB and options I wanted. Finally settle for 2008 less than 10k miles and never abused. I would love to buy your car when it is up for sale.
As for modded car, when I was in the market I don't mind wheels, may be exhaust but ABSOLUTELY no tune, suspension, headers or intake. I would pay premium for completely stock car over those modded cars. Heavily modded make me worry about potential repairs, and putting engine over stress hence reliability issues.

I agree with you on suspension stuff.

For most people yes, but not all. Knowing that mod's are pennies on the dollar, I look for cars that are modified. Now by modified, I mean high quality components that are properly installed. You can get a lot of bang for your buck.
You can get a great deal if the parts are of high quality and installed correctly. Especially since aftermarket parts for cars like the GTR and 911 are quite expensive.

When looking for a 911 Turbo I put a premium on certain modifications depending on who did them and how the owner treated the car. I ended up with a car that has $40k of modifications done by an extremely reputable shop and there were people fighting left and right to try and get this car. There were 4 standing offers for the car within 2 days....I just happened to get to it and strike a deal within hours of it being listed before anyone else had a shot.
Not everyone can drop $70k+ on a used car and then spend another $40k on modifications afterward. I got performance well beyond what I ever dreamed of and a car that was detailed monthly and well taken care of.

100% agree with you Zybane. There are some people that prefer a stock unmodified car and that's fine. There are a lot of people out there that look for modified cars though. It's foolish to try and estimate what % favor what.
