Your thoughts on this car ?

Let me hear your expert opinion, pros and cons of this beatiful car:

http://www.willhoitenterprises.com/car386.htm

I see it has aftermarket exhaust, as well as a no stock steering wheel

What is it worth ? It has been on sale for many months, the market is good for buyers now

Thanks in advance !

it's been on sale for many months for a reason. personally i don't like the supple seats or the 3 spoke steering wheel and the color is interesting. willhoit just picked up a black on black with 15k miles -- i think it's probably still in transport. call him and ask him about that car. it was posted on rennlist and a day or so later he replied that he had bought the car.

A 96 for 85K?????....if money is no object , then buy the car...frankly, I would not be interested...if you are stuck on the 993(most beautiful car Porsche ever made other than the Carrera GT) then step up...you are getting in the range of GT2 or 997 Turbo...I would get an 2003 or 2004 Turbo with the X50 package for around 55-60K and spend 10-12K on upgrades...DOC... Portland,OR...97 993TT...modified ECU, lightened flywheel, FabSpeed muffler bypass(Mozart),GT3 clutch

I ran into an all stock Silver/Black 1997 993TT"S" with 25k miles for the same price. It was sitting out in the lot of a Dealer in Baton Rouge LA. I bet is still there.
Beautiful car indeed, but for that price, you can find a mighty nice 997TT.

Thanks for all your input !

Being a Porsche fan and settling to what I should own, is sometimes difficult

The 993TT will be a classic in some years, but yes, I see the interior is very outdated already...

996TT can be made fast very easily, but it's not a pretty car, especially the nose

997TT is too soft and common, and Tiptronic, no !!!

New cars are very capable, but do not have too much soul

Maybe GT3 or GT3 RS are the best Porsche cars ? My Porsche is not DD, so I wouldn't care about the roughness of these 2 options

Once again, thanks for your input, forums are always full of info and helpful peopel like you !

Color is disgusting. Otherwise I like it and I like the 3 spoke wheel.

Great looking car. I don't mind the color at all.
