Tempting. Cant beat the Mezger engine as well.

Had a front end collision in 05..still most twins are going for well over $40. Waiting for Onewhippedpuppy to chime - he is my resident 996/997 expert ;)

Nice color IMHO. Not silver, for once.

I'd save up for a 993 TT, 997 TT or get the 996 GT3 instead.

If you buy the -cheapest- 996 TT out there you will receive it. :)

true - the celt in me is always looking for a bah-gun though!

If you get lucky and a get a good one... they'll last forever.

Get one that is a 'needy child'... becomes prohibitively expensive to run. A good friend of mine owned a $35k 996TT for about 2 years. He ended up selling it for about what he paid for it.

Somewhere in between that time, a lot (a lot...) of money disappeared into it that never came back.

I still think a good majority of them can be great DD's, they just need to be watched closely before the small things get expensive.

How bad was the wreck?

Expert is giving me way too much credit. I thought you wanted a Tip Mike?

Front bumper fit is off a bit, look at the area where it meets the front fenders and around the headlights. Personally I don't run away from cars that have been in an accident so long as the repair is high quality. It's very hard to find a true "no stories" car and they normally are at a premium, and if you are going to drive it you'll just get chips and scratches anyway.

Otherwise it looks good, but the pictures suck and the interior is covered with about a gallon of Armor All (including the leather). I hate car dealerships. The price is low but not silly low, they occasionally pop up under $30k with higher mileage on them. You also definitely have to like yellow.

M.D. Holloway 09-16-2013 11:30 AM

Not a fan of yellow...thats Lambo colors! Black, Blue, White and yes even Silver I would consider - of course the pussy in me wants a tiptronic...I would so burn out a clutch around here...
