I saw/stole this format from M3forums, and i think it is very helpful for future 996TT owners, so if you don't mind, please share!

1) How much did you pay for your used 996TT?
2) When did you buy it?
3) Year and mileage?
4) What was the original price, and how much did you bargain down?
5) Did it come with the warranty, or did you buy one, or neither?

Thanks, TK

 

1) 38,500
2) October 2008
3) 2001 w/52k miles (notable mods and options were 19-inch maya wheels, sport seats, giac flash, v-flow, evo d.v.'s, nice custom sub box with amps, head unit, etc....)
4) Original price was low 40's.
5) no warranty, didn't purchase warranty

Care needed clutch, tires, and spoiler hydraulics. Very clean.

 

I see where this thread is going.

 

What do you mean?

 

All in jest. However in all seriousness prices are plummeting on these cars. This thread will remind people just how much money they have lost on these cars. So for future owners it is great. For current owners, such as myself, it might make you a little queasy. And I noticed from your signature which camp you are in.. :-) Now is a great time to buy..

 

asking price was 59000 plus tax
i got the car for 58500 (i hate bargaining) plus tax
i dumped around 15-20k on the car in a year
i had no warranty when i bought it
and i probably dumped 15k on it ... (wheels tires, new clutch etc etc)


if someone told me to wait a year and save $20 grand, i would say no thanks...
the car has lived up to every expectation (except handlng) ive had

 

1) 67k
2) July 2007
3) 2002 5,400 miles, no typo -
4) came down $1500
5) no warranty, did not buy one. . . don't drive it much (550 miles since purchase)


Happy Hunting!

 

For what its worth most anything thats a toy has droped to a level we dont wont to see even as a buyer.

I am looking but I have to be very clear that I am not buying and investment.

 

1) How much did you pay for your used 996TT?
$55,000
2) When did you buy it?
March 08
3) Year and mileage?
03 X50 42k miles
4) What was the original price, and how much did you bargain down?
Price was the price
5) Did it come with the warranty, or did you buy one, or neither?
Bought one

 

That's understandable, I remember when Supra/RX-7 prices went through the roof (fast&furious ), yet 3000GT resale kept going down. Finally, they just became big, hard-to-work on DSMs.

I've always loved turbo AWD's, and have always wanted a 911, but somehow always found a reason not to buy one. Hopefully, that will change very soon.

Steve,

providing you can afford it, why not, noone can guarantee us we will be around a year from now.

All,

thanks for sharing, let's keep it going for the noobs wanting to get into a P-car.

Cheers, TK

I negotiated the price down, I don't remember what the asking price was.
No warranty......just get a very through PPI from somewhere reputable.

 

1) $88,500
2) Feb 2006
3) 04 x50 coupe, 15,000 mi, one owner, no track/DE as new, new MPS tires
4) came down about $1000 (original msrp about $145,000)
5) had full factory warranty for about 16 months...no warranty now

This is my daily (29,000 mi now), and if I keep it as long as my last turbo I'll do fine. (1986 930 sold Feb. 2000) Best car I've ever owned.

 

1) 55k
2) June 08
3) 03 with about 45k
4) 55k asking somwhere between 62k and 68K
5) came with warranty, up in Feb 08, gonna go warrantyless...

 

1. $74,000 out the door
2. June 2007
3. 2003 w/ 12,000 miles
4. $131,000 I bargained about $8,000 off the asking price.
5. Yes, it still has the CPO warranty

 

The 993TT,996TT,997TT is the best car on the road. Any porsche Turbo. Until you have owned and really driven one (at 190mph or more) you really just dont know. When you feel the aerodynamics working and the suspention working the push of the turbos your in heaven. So as far of the value I think mine is priceless.
