I've been thinking of selling my 09 TT Cab 6MT for a while so I've been monitoring Carmax. Yesterday I found a 2011 Speed Yellow fully optioned $183K MSRP TTS for sale in Austin, TX for $83K. It has 38K miles, it doen't have center locks (I didn't want them), no accidents, new tires and appears to be in excellent shape. So, I pulled the plug and I'm having it shipped to VA.

Carmax pictures are attached below. Yes, it does stand-out and yes it has a few miles but that's okay because if I buy it, I'll purchase their 5-year 125K mile warranty. But for $83K, IMO that's the Carmax deal of the century!

Anyone interested in a stock, pristine 2-owner 09 TT Cab 6MT with 25K miles?

Thoughts?

Nice, did you just trade it in?
Not sure how car ax works.

No, I'm going to wait until the TTS arrives to be sure I want to pull the trigger. I'll see what they will offer in-trade but I'm sure it will be low so I'll most likely sell private party.

Wow - great find. I drive by that lot daily - it must have been buried. I always wonder how a car like that finds its way to CarMaxx. To get it shipped to VA do you have put down a deposit or pay for the shipping? Hope it works out for you.

Thanks, it's an Austin-based car and you may have seen it around town. No way of knowing why it ended up at Carmax. Anyway there's another 11 Guards Red TTS for sale on Carmax with 16K miles for $15K more than this one. I can't figure out their pricing but I think this one is a bit underpriced. At least that's what my research indicates.

Yes, I had to pay a transfer fee that includes shipping. Once I've had the opportunity to inspect I'm under no obligation to buy it.

someone posted that it seems rough .... make sure you check it out. I cannot find the post now, it was on the 997 forum

Thanks, I did a key word search and couldn't find anything. I will certainly check it out thoroughly. If I don't like it or it has issues I'll walk and lose a few bucks but that's okay too. As the saying goes, don't let a temporary solution turn into a permanent problem.

^ I hope it works out.. I love the SY color.. just have to get that ridiculous CarMax badge off of it..

Not trying to be an Os-wee-pay, but me thinks this means it is not even close to a DOTC, but maybe priced about right given the limited appeal of the color to many.

Good luck,

Eddie

I imagine it's hard to get a genuine, clean "deal of the century" at a major dealership like that.

Great find! Congrats.

OMG, you lucky bas*tard. That is a killer deal on a stunner. I would have jumped on it too if I wanted a yellow car. WAY TO GO! Can't wait to see what happened next. Even if it needs some stuff, who cares. All cars do.

Thanks for heads-up, I'm going to contact the person who saw the car and see if they can share anymore info on it.

Better without the centerlocks, personally love the SY color...GL
