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.

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.

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.

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...
