Huh, just noticed.. does that car have a dealership sticker where the rear badge should be? O_o

I've been looking off and on for a while now, #1 seems to be the better purchase as long as the rotors are good, I'd say $75,000 on price. I wouldn't pay the premium for low miles on the second car. Good luck!

You can get 08's and even 09's for those prices.

75k on the first one is about right. Those are champion rims, 6k.

can't do a black car, but that interior is drool. Silver is great and it has great options, but that steering wheel would last 1 day in my world. End of the day both prices are so stupid that I would keep looking. Those prices would have made sense 4-5 years ago

I agree the prices are abit off by about 5-10k but remember they dont make these anymore and this is what you have selling right now.

I would go with the first one but cant imagine it was ordered without LSD.

For the asking, I would wait/pass. You cannot add LSD or you can but its not worth it.

But its up to you, I have bought cars above market just because it has everything I am looking for, as long as it is still below MSRP.

A must for me, sport seats and LSD.

You can add sport chrono and short shifter later, but seats and LSD is expensive. The first one has PCCB though.

Agree, end of the day the key options are LSD, ***, and pccbs.

Did you pull the trigger?

Well not yet.... I am a bit confused why a performance car maker like Porsche makes LSD as an option - shouldn't it be standard on all 911?

For now, I haven't found any other 997TT on the market that are as clean. I agree that the black/brown is sparse when it comes to options but that interior is gorgeous in my opinion. The silver is probably a better buy as many of you stated.

I have been also looking at 996TT but honestly the prices for a nice example with the X50 (and aero, which I am partial to) are pretty much the same as for the 997TT which makes no sense. I find the 996TT character more appealing in some way... maybe it's the size, the steering, the overall 'analog' feeling...

Also another contender entered my mind - a C6 ZR1. Always liked those. Anyone here has an opinion on the ZR1 in relation to a 997TT and also in terms of long term value retention?

TT Surgeon

LSD is a cool option, esp if you track. If you never track your car, you'll never know it was or wasn't even there. LSD can be added either oem or guards. It wouldn't be my only criteria.
lsd, adaptives and pccb are the three to shoot for, if you have 2/3 that's pretty good.

Looking at an 08 997 TT with less than 10K miles.
Still learning here, so what I'm am missing on this option list?

Cars MSRP was $140,000

Some great aesthetic mods. As long as you are happy with that option list, what else matters?

Some other options that are considered desirable (by many, but not all) include PCCB (ceramic brakes) and LSD (limited slip differential). I prefer the look of the round sport steering wheel with the "thicker" option but if you want multifunction the triangular steering wheel is what you get.

Big Swole

Yeah PCCB would be nice but not a must for me given replacement cost. LSD would too, but not going to track it, just a street toy / date out on town car.

Not seen it in person yet but pics looked amazing.

Thank you.

Dodaleca

Looks like a pretty decent build - would have liked to see LSD # 220 as some here don't full track but do recreation fun autocross.


PCCB gen 1 might not be long lasting either compared to the later versions so steel might be even more of a safe bet here.

For street use PCCB's last forever. I have over 30K miles and no wear. Love the way they stop and 0 brake dust. Im not saying they are a must have but im sure glad I have them.
