Lots of people have said 996TT as a deep value play, right now.
Any comments on the very negative 996 article I posted above?

Well, I don't know if I'd call the 996TT "exotic", but it certainly isn't common. If I were to suggest something that would really turn heads, it would be a fully-restored SWB longhood car. But that's not modern. In fact, it's about the opposite of modern.
The negatives about the 996 are about the cars with the M96 engine. The 996TT has the Metzger engine. I would never spend any money on a regular 996. I would not hesitate in buying a 996TT. The article you posted applies to the regular 996, not the 996TT.
