I have been watching the 996TT at the auctions and since the 997TT debut the 996 had taken a HUGE dive.

Look at what the 2005 996 Turbo S are going for at the auctions :

Now is the time to buy one of these bad boys....

 

Blah, that makes me want to cry So that 05 was going for what, 82k? Its confusing reading all of the numbers together. I know GT2's are rare and most likely they wouldnt be on Manheim, but any way you can check for me?

Thanks alot!

Martin

 

I am ready to buy one if some one can get me a 996 TT with 20K or less miles for under 60...shoot me a PM

 

I'm ready to pick up one of those 05 turbo S's right away if anyone knows where they can be found.

PM me!

 

Any chance this thread is in response to the Viper thread?

 

An '05 S with 5000 miles for under 80k? Right. Pull this leg it plays jingle bells.

 

 

So I can get a 2005 TT for $62,000 for a higher mileage (14,000 mile) car? Yeah right! Let me know to whom I should write the check.

 

Looks like maybe someone wants to get a good deal on a 05 turbo S ...

 

what a car for the price...

 

Prices are falling now for these cars now, in UK I noticed the first one going for £39,500 ($74k US) That's pretty cheap over here in UK. There will be an a few owners that are just trying to off load these cars at a "grab a bargain" price!

This is why I made a major decision this year, which was to not give a **** about mileage, resale, etc, etc. I (like others) ran up 2/3k in the first year and had the car sitting in the garage doing absolutely nothing for weeks on end, all along thinking that I need to keep the car so I can get a good resale on it. So I decided I was going to keep over the 997 Turbo as looks were still very similar (no dramatic changes) and use the bloody thing as much as possible. Let's face it!, some might not have the finances to be driving a Turbo in the future and if it happened to me I would rather go out with a bang!, I had that car, experienced the full potential and drove the *** of it!

Would rather do this and lose $5/10k on my car, and ENJOY!

 

i could have bought a 997TT but decided to mod the proven platform. I just spent more on tunning it then what an 05 TT costs- Out of all the fancy cars I had- my 01 TT is a keeper
just my .02 cent,

if anyone is buying a car for resale value, they're going to be shocked when reality finally sets in.....
