My two cents:

Some say 2002+ is better than 2001. Neverending dispute over whether chassis rigidity increased with 02 model year. Plus 01 didnt have a glove box.

A few common issues to look out for. 2nd gear popout, coolant expansion tank, rear spoiler, slave cylinder. Your best resource would be the 996tt forum on rennlist.

IMS not an issue on turbos, it was a different type of engine.

High mileage brings deep discount to prices. Imho might not be a bad thing if there's a solid maintenance trail. There was an article on Panorama about a couple who did 600k miles on a 996tt.
