This is my first post as I am actively trying to become an official 996TT owner. I have been on the forum for months as I am looking for the perfect TT.
Please post your opinions on the price of this vehicle as the dealer will not budge past $112,500. It is an '02 and I think it is about $15k too high. Thank you for your help.....

Keep Shopping

thats like $25 k to 30 k too much money.... buys Ciggy's Gt2 for that much $$ and have much better car

 

He is asking WAAAY too much. Keep shopping.

 

You could buy an 04 TT cabriolet for that price. The dude is whacked and not even in the ball park.

 

That's the funniest post in a long time "dealer won't budge" - How about dealer is an idiot and will have that car for 25 years - Tell him we all here say congrats on his new TT Can you please tell us the name of this idiot dealer?

That car is worth $80k -

Doug is 100% correct - buy an 04 TT cab for $110k - prob less

 

That is exactly what I told him. I said I will call him back in January so he remembers to wipe the dust off of it. Such a shame, that is THE car I am looking for. The dealer is Porsche of Roslyn which is on Long Island, NY.

 

Lets not provide him the wrong guidance on the car. They are asking to high of a price for that car.

It is not worth $80K, that is off the mark as well.

02's with those options and the extended Porsche warranty should bring $90K-$95K. Very hard to find a car with the options you want & that car has evertyhing on it. My guess is that it was $140K+ brand new.

The x50 always brings the car up $5K, however with an EVO flash you get more bang for less $$ so it is hard for many of us to justify.

A good offer on that car is in the low to mid $90's. Someone will buy it..

 

That is also what I told him. I said $95k right now and he thought I was joking. His quote was " Come back with a reasonable offer and maybe we can do business". So if I don't find anything I like over the next couple of months, I will just check their website periodically and see if they still have it. I think 80k is too low as well. $95-98k I would pay, no more.

 

I don't think that you will have to wait "a few months" to find a good deal. The fact is that many dealers and sellers are trying to get as much as they can before the 997TTs come out. They know that it won't be until summer of next year (at the earliest), so they have "time" on their hands to ask for a higher price. They can always reduce it back down to its "normal" price when crunch time rears its head.

 

Good point on the dealers. I think you have a the numbers correct so just put the word out and keep looking..

The TT sounds perfect as far as options and all other items. Good luck..

 

Griza, is this the silver tt that they have in the showroom? I went there a month ago for some reason I forget. I think he was asking even more than that at the time. It's a Beautiful car even if I don't like silver. I HATE Silver Star though. The attitude of the guys there make me laugh. Such slight condescension that you'd think they're the ones who are buying these cars. I didn't buy my car from them, but pop in once or twice a year for the eye candy. Keep it moving and keep looking. One beauty of these cars being "overproduced" is you never have to look very far for a nice example at a decent price. If I ever were to buy a used tt (and might for a daily, don't know yet) this board's "for sale" would be my first stop. Good luck.

 

Hi Griza,

Check your P.M.

Thanks,
Ted.

 

I think we have a smilie for that price.

Wait, here it is:

 

Bayarea- I told them how much I will pay, if they want to take me up on it, I am here

hnyc- The car is Guards Red and it is at Porsche of Rosyln. I am not sure if they also go by the name Silver Star.

Jaime- Do you have any bigger smilies? That price is a joke.

Ted- Pm'ed you back
