It does have some good options, I guess they know what they have.It may seem a little high but given the great options, if thats the color your looking for I say offer 70K, its a rare color thats for sure..

70K is way out of my price range. I have been looking a 2001's for in the low 50's.

Beautiful car. I like that color and set up but agree that price is still a bit high.

Sam if its out of your price range, why are you even looking at it? You wont get that car for your budget.If a high milage 01 TT is what your looking at then thats where you should be looking. PCCB is a 10 K option, full aero kit is a 10 K option.....It would be nice to find a a 70 K car for 50K but i dont think that is the case here, Good luck on your search and keep us in the loop on what you end up with.

I wonder how long it has been sitting at a Subaru dealership for. Winter is just around the corner here in NE and I don't see that thing going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe they'll be willing to take my M3 on trade and wheel and deal a little? I think even if they did, it would still be a HUGE stretch for me to buy it.

that's a hot car. if the CF interior is a factory option and the GT2 kit is all factory porsche, then you need to think about buying it.

it's got to be worth 10K more if YOU like it.

if color and mileage don't matter, go find yourself a 50K+ mile 2001 996TT and get the transmission + clutch thoroughly checked out.

those cars are low-bidding wholesale on mannheim's (intra-dealer-sales-network) at $35K right now. I checked this yesterday, actually.

assuming no transmission issues, you have only to install PSS9's and you've got an incredible car for probably $40K all-in including suspension, tax and license.

Nice car but not that nice $$ You are not going to steal it for fifty, they would rather wholesale the car to someone like me or send it to auction. If you get a good deal on the car they are going to want to steal your trade. I agree buy a higher mileage tt and you will be happy mate.

Don't stretch be comfortable.

Color looks to be Orient Red, not Zanzibar. Zanzibar was more of an orange. Also, If it was a "factory" installed aerokit it wouldn't be a GT2 aerokit. Not saying it isn't factory parts, but not an original option. Also, if you like Blue, Small Shrimp has an 03 X50 in the for sale section with some mods on it, nmight be worth taking a look at.
