I'm new to the Porsche scene and I have the opportunity to purchase a 1996 TT with 75,000 miles on it for around $40,000. The price seems very good compared to what I've found online. My only fear is the high mileage. What kind of problems can I be expecting? Would you pull the trigger and make the purchase or wait till something lower mileage comes along?

 

Buy it and throw in $40K for Protomotive 700Hp rebuilt.

 

Just dont post where the car is, or it'll be gone

 

better check the title

 

HAHA. Exactly!

 

Spend some $$ and have a Porsche certified tech. inspect the car. Sounds too good to be true IMO.

 

Do you have a link? We would like to assist you in giving you another set of eyes on it.

 

 

Yes, do tell! We promise we won't try to buy it!

 

That price is way low even for that mileage. Might be a salvage, flood or other car with a "history" or perhaps serious mechanical problems. Have it looked over well by someone who knows these cars.

 

That would be a great score. Imagine, a future classic for relative peanuts... WOW. What color is it?

 

Must have CEL problems.

PM me the info

 

I finally saw the car in person yesterday. Its black on black. It came in off a trade at a local porsche dealership. They have to "put it through their shop" before they will sell it. It looks like a hard 70,000 miles that were put on it. Once I decide against it I'll be happy to share the contact info of where to find it.

 

If the car is accident free and cosmetically ok, I'd be figuring in a top end rebuild, valve guides and it still sounds like a good deal.

Good luck!!

 

If it's hard (tracked) but will maintained it may be worth going after it, PPI dependent from a shop that Knows 993Ts. If it has been abused and neglected I would pass on it. 40K + top end + clutch + suspension + bling mods = 60k + car. It wont be a bargain after all.
