About to get my new Turbo
I am going to look at a 2003 Black/Black TT tomorrow. Major Options are: X-50 Package, Ceramic Brakes, Heated Seats- 29K Miles and asking $52K

Carfax is clean and I have a trusted service tech that can check it out for me. But I wanted to see what questions I should be asking when I see it tomorrow. I value to experence that you all have on the forum and reading the posts have been so educational as I move closer to making the purchase. Any issues with the X-50 Package that would concern you guys? Thanks in advance for the feedback!

The X-50 package should not have any extra concerns except that you can go faster than a non X-50 car stock!

As long as it passes your service tech's check then that should be a car you will REALLY enjoy!!!!

Just be careful around here... You can spend a lot of money fast when it comes to modding these cars... It is a very slippery slope!

They are Kinesis F110's. I think one of the wheel sponsors still sells them. They went out of production a few years ago. I originally saw them on Jamie Carter's silver GT2 and I fell in love. I had to have a set after seeing them!!!

Sounds like a great car, but is this price a little high? I love my 996 Turbo more than any car I've owned yet I would take the 993 Turbo over it. Isn't 52K 993 Turbo territory?
Best,
Keith

We won't turn this into a 993 vs. 996 debate but that is a killer deal with x-50 and PCCB. PCCB equipped cars don't pop up too often.

Sounds like a great deal at that price for an X-50 equipped TT. Here's to hoping the PPI comes out clean as a whistle.

If it needs nothing, maintenance or repair wise, then that is a fair price.

A good price is if you can get it down more.
