75K is low. If you find one in that price range, be very careful!

85K should get you an OK 2001.

Just don't go into the market expecting all these 'cheap' turbos.

These boards always talk about that, and in reality, it's not that cheap and there aren't that many that are truly worth owning that cost so little.

The good ones cost at least 85K.

If you can afford it, and aren't stretching to get it, DO IT. Life is too short and it's too much fun driving one of these. After having two 996 C2's, I can't go back. The Turbo is the best. (OK, I could consider a GT-3, but the Turbo is still my favorite)

I SAW THOSE AT AUTOTRAder, but first im gonna test drive one at the local dealership to see how it drives, ive only ridden in a TT turbo a few times i wanna see if the power is to much for me..

the TT if i do go for it will be my daily driver. so miles will be put on the car.. how is the TT for daily driving, reliability wise...

i saw those cars and have been thinking about it, not really a fan of the brown interior but the price seems to be right lol

how much can i get off the list price for a used turbo . like 2-5k off the list price? thanks in advance.

the red one will be over you budget as it is full carbonfiber interior, jic coilover, new turbos developed by g and ecu, exhaust, the car is a rocket. no internal engine mods.

# of owners can be a clue about the car.
Then the obvious things like car fax and accidents.
