Tempted...but what's the crowd think?

[Chuck Jones]

Today I went and drove a really beautiful 02 996 TT with 10,000 miles...used mostly for councours....but driven sparingly. One owner, all records available...all options except X50 (which I wanted but ??). color was a very attractive light blue, so it wasnt' the more frequently seen colors of silver, red, or black. No CPO available....but no stories.....PO keeps an immaculate stable of cars. He wants $72K. What's the crowd who BTDT say?

Buy :notworthy:

Forget X50, just get a UMW stage 2

Personally, everyone is going to have a different opinion. When I went looking through for my car I ended up concluding that I wanted a Porsche Nav, therefore an 03 with PCM2 was a must. Then I read about the X50 package and decided that with 444hp and 457lbs of Torque (same as new 997, torque wise) I would always keep it stock and that was sufficient for now and in the future. Will hold it's value better. Ideally a light grey blue would have been my ideal color, I went with Seal grey and graphite grey interior.

I paid $117k in CA in 10/03 with 3k miles. I have been very happy with my decision ever since

PS it also came with Heated front seats, supple leather, lumbar support on both seats, and memory seats, plus alum shifter, ss entry, and alum leather shifter.

sounds like a nice car although a bit pricey for non X50....

My 99 996 is Iris Blue, and I am smitten with that color...and I found an Iris Blue 03 TT with the X50 package and 17K miles, but it's about $85K. I've been going back and forth about the costs involved....but I really think that if I've decided that if I go with a TT, it should have the X50 package on it and be done with it. New the X50 is about a $18K add on...but incorporated into a used car, it's a pretty good deal really.
