Nice car! congrats.

I just recently bought a 07 TT with 65k. There are some good deals out there with higher mileage.

Thanks. I have a co-worker that drives a LOT because he lives at his retirement place full time while he winds down (necessitating 100mi commute each direction). He just put over 200k on a Cadillac CTS before getting rid of it. He was meticulous with maintenance and the car gave him minimal trouble. I'd like to think that Porsche build quality is at LEAST that of what GMs is, and I'd like to think that with a similar commitment to maintenance this car could do 200k miles as well, though I don't plan on driving it nearly that much. Modern cars should be able to do over 100k without breaking a sweat.

Thanks, and yes, there are good deals to be had. Out of curiosity, I did a little autotrader search for only 07-08 Turbos. I didn't actually compile the data, but it appeared that the vast, vast majority of these cars have less than 40K miles. Easily over 75% of those offered for sale. So if you're shopping, you can find more low mileage cars than higher mileage ones, which means the higher mileage cars have to be offered for less in order to compete. There are likely some real gems out there to be found by the discerning buyer.

The obligatory gas station pic as I filled up with some Shell 93 octane yesterday evening

Are those the new tips you mentioned to me about adding when first got the car? Looks freaking gorgeous with the polished tips to compliment the wheels vs the previous tips.

Yeah, man, that's them! I also think they compliment the look of the car well. Thanks for the comment!
