History on my newly purchased tt...
Posted to Rennlist but figured I would try here as well.
I just purchased a '96tt and I do not have a full history on the car. I know where the car has resided in the past from the CARFAX. Unfortunately, dealers will not give any service info due to privacy issues these days.
I figure it doesn't hurt to take a shot and see if anyone here knew any previous owners. The car is 1996 black/tan with serial number ending in ts375501. It has wood shift **** and handbrake. The car shows no accident history but at some point the front spoiler was updated to Turbo S look with the small lights in the duct.
From 1996-2002 history shows the car was in the Lansdale, PA and New York City area with some servicing at Manhatten Motor cars.
2002-2005 history shows the car was registered in Livingston TX.
2005-2006 it shows it registered in Torrance CA and serviced at Pacific Porsche.
I figure that there is a chance that someone here knew the car and possibly owner of the car and can help me find some more history.
Look forward to being part of this Turbo forum after many years and many other Porsches.

I will get some pics this week. I did find a little more history on the car after taking delivery. It has some Fabspeed or similar muffler bypass as well as a Protomotive ECU flash and a GReddy boost control. Overall, the car was quite filthy when I received it and I was disappointed. However, it cleaned up quite nice and I have only 2 things to address. The S spolier was in 4 pieces so I ripped it off. Now I need to remove the front bumper cover and clean it up and respray it. Also, the rear decklid leather has shrunk so I need to recover it. For the price I paid, I can't complain. The car runs great and sounds nice. I was not looking for a low mileage show queen. I want a driver that i don't have to worry about and I found it.
