Is this a good deal?

[phillipj]

Was browsing on Autotrader today and found this very sweet Turbo back east.

2001 with 15,750k miles for $46,999.

Seems like a great price considering the mileage.

What do you Turbo guys think?

seems a little high to me. 2001 models don't usually go for that much. I think it should be more in the $40,000-$42000 range. Look up blue book value on it. If it was a 2003 it would be priced correctly

I'm sick of pouring money into my "Frankenstein" Carrera. :angry: I have near $50k in it now and it's still not right. new engine, new radiators, new clutch, new canvas top, new tires etc.... I may just sell it for whatever I can get and get a stock Turbo. If I can get one for $40K I will be happy. Seriously considering it. There are lots of cars and lots of time.... :D

And then the mods, upgrades, changes, repairs will start all over again..... When are you coming down to DP for a visit?

After the bodywork gets done (don't ask) and that loser tuner :angry: of mine finishes my freakin swap (lost ECU programming when I changed my battery).

My self and another unfortunate member here are going to release the full dossier on Mr. Fabian Roock in the very near future. He is a street urchin and should be run out of the Porsche business. B)

You have pictures of your car with your body kit? People still ask me about my white coupe. I loved that car.

I think if I buy a Turbo I would leave it alone. Mods are a slippery slope that I don't want to go down again......... 415 hp is fine

Just left the shop.. Removed sideskirts and front bumper to repaint with the right color--I got the paint values from a Porsche dealer for Glazier White so it should be perfect this time. Wing is prepped and waiting paint. Then I will send you some pictures.. Sorry about your problems. Contact my friend at Vision if you need to.. He can help..

And I am asking----What bodywork???

ph,

just save up for the 997tt. it is that much better. youve done the 996. time to move on.

[CosmosC4S]

I say go for a 996T phillip! If you've made up your mind, the only thing left to do is spend lots of time online to look for the right one at the right price. :thumbup:

One of my clients is selling his 997 GT3 becsuse his new 2010 GT3 will be here in December (so freakin jealous.) He will give me a rediculous good deal on it. Maybe I'll just buy that. Of course my wife would give me the "death of a thousand cuts" if I did buy it.

Actually I don't want a 997 Turbo. For some reason I don't care for them. The GT3 on the other hand I covet greatly
