How much is that doggie in the window?
Let me slip on my flame retardent undies before I start.
Ok, I guess I am just a little tired of the "How much did you pay for your used 996tt" threads which really means "How cheap was your 996tt?"
I know that car prices are very depressed and Porsche is not exempt from the economic crisis as it is a low volume production brand and needs to move cars to make room for new models and keep those production lines moving. Maybe I am a little depressed that I have had 8 of these great Pcars and remember when they came at a premium with the holy Grail being the exclusive Turbo.
I guess I am tired of some folks not doing their homework and just letting a cheap price/depressed market drive their decisions without doing their homework. If you can't replace rear tires every 8-10,000 miles for $300 each, pay $3-$600 for plugs or an oil change, cover the insurance premium,
replace a clutch for $1500, or all the rest it really does not matter what you paid.
Don't get me wrong I want Porsche to stay healthy and profitable and I know that means attracting
new buyers I just think you should get the best deal you can, make sure you can afford it and
maintainance and don't second guess yourself because someone in Ohio bought one for $1000, $5000, or $10,000 less. Maybe that car isn't the best deal down the road.

1) How much did you pay for your used 996TT?
$70,000
2) When did you buy it?
Oct 2007
3) Year and mileage?
'03 19k miles (X50, + bunch of options)
4) What was the original price, and how much did you bargain down?
Asking $77,000, (orig msrp $160k)
5) Did it come with the warranty, or did you buy one, or neither?
No warranty, haven't missed it either - a solid car.
Been running it as a DD since, still very happy with my purchase. How much depreciation would I have had if I bought any $70k car 2 yrs ago?
Money made and gone, but the fun continues!
$70,000
