Default Anyone here buy the black 09 Turbo listed for 78k with 16k at Momentum?

Just curious if anyone here snagged that car up? I almost made an exception in my color choice for that beast. Seemed to be priced to sell considering it is an 09' with some nice options (PCCB and painted hard back seats) and low miles (16k). Congrats to the new owner!

I didnt see it, but I did go to their website and saw this 08 997TT for $64K with 42,XXX miles...
While it may not be a "Musem Piece" if someone's looking, that seems like a good price....that is, if it checks out, i.e., was not found at the bottom of a lake or the connecting rods can be seen dangling outside the engine, etc... JB

Here are some pictures of it. It was a 4 owner car with 16k miles and priced at 78k. It was nice seeing a dealer trying not to get top dollar for once. I'm surprised it lasted 7 days. I almost pulled the trigger but really looking for something different other than black and the typical gray scale colors you see all the time.

There is always a reason why it is so. There is no such thing as a free oil change in the dealership.

I don't know it but somebody needs to look closely.

So you think there was something wrong with the car? Maybe the dealer just wanted to move it quickly and not have it sit for months trying to get top dollar. When I called they had a full service history and the car had no records of an accident. Judging by the condition and history it was a very solid deal!

Being an 09 and those mileage they can actually CPO it. Seems cheap, not sure if that's a factory aero car.

Front lip is incorrect and should be painted (easy fix) and they get dsamaged easily anyways. Not sure if the side skirts and rear diffuser is painted like they should be.

Nice car though, someone got a deal.

Maybe they just added the aero rear spoiler and not the full kit? I won't speculate on what options the car has as I don't know.

that isn't the aerokit wing, that's just an aftermarket wing, likely CF. Makes me wish I had yellow calipers. Looks like a good deal, around the right price. But probably better for the buyer. However black cars don't do it for me, but that is in great condition

Im just saying be careful. Calling is not quite the best way to judge a car.
I have not bought from them but have inquired a number of cars from them and they don't sell cars cheap.

I would like to hear from someone who have looked at it. Maybe its a good deal? But there is always a reason.

Expectations are high if priced high, expectations are low if priced low.

Dealers don't give cars away, if they do there is a reason.

I am wondering if this car was CPO'ed like my previous post. Years and mileage qualify and it's definitely way too cheap if so.

There is more money in this car, that's for sure.

Wow! Lots of speculation going on just because the car was priced to move. I guess we will never know if there were any underlying issues.

Judging by the initial inquires which cars that have something to hide don't pass and this one did, it seems like a solid deal regardless. If I remember right the salesman even mentioned there were no range 4, 5, or 6 over revs too. It was the wrong color for me otherwise I would have bought.

Congrats to the new owner whoever you are!

I am more curious than anything, PCCB let alone aero kit cars fetch a high premium of course unless if this isn't.

Agreed, seems low. Dealers are knowledgeable and not charitable. Probably a "story" or condition issues that takes a human eye to see. Not all accidents are reported in a Carfax data scrape.
