Looks like a decent deal for a daily driver...

Hmm something is amiss on the 996TT
When I brought it home....
 Hmmmmm, something seems to have fallen off while driving to the airport, the welds gave way as the clamp was still on the pipe.  After discovering that Porsche must create these from solid gold, I went to ebay and found a used set from a GT2 or Turbo S. The stains on the floor are from the Liquid Wrench I put on to loosen up the tips, will have to clean that up.  I think it looks better than the oval stock ones. Bill |

Big improvement Bill, sometimes these things happen for a reason.
If you want to clean up the back end even more, have the bumperettes color matched to the body by bumperplugs. It's the same look as the later 996 and 997, much cleaner than the black. They also sell rear wiper delete kits if you find your rear wiper to be as pointless as I did.

So I've been somewhat unhappy with my recent purchase and my eyes have started to wander again. Look at this

If the turbo engine is so durable, why pay a premium for a low mileage car?
But that is a nice looking turbo....

Because other people pay premiums for low mileage cars, as unfounded as it may be, so if you ever want to sell...
Speed yellow could also be a large chunk of the premium too

Though with that said the GT3 is going up pretty quickly, and I think the TT has hit rock bottom.
