newbi here. going to purchase a 2003 996tt. looking for around 30 to 50 k miles. looking for anyone here that has recently purchased a 03 996tt. how much did you pay and how many miles. don't be shy. i'm just looking for a fair deal. any other good advice is welcome. thanks

 

Decided it is better to lead than to follow....welcome aboard, good luck!

 

as someone who is looking as well, why did you pinpoint the 2003? why not 2001, 2002, 2004 etc?

 

thanks. i'm very excited to join the porsche family, one step at a time, right. i know this is a very common question, but i am looking for the most up to date info for prices. i really like the x50 pkg.

 

i have a budget, and i believe my window for mileage and purchase price will be the best around the 03 model. plus i work for a bmw, porsche and audi franchise and will probably get it certified. i just want to know what i'm talking about with prices. thanks again.

 

Look in the "for sale" section on this forum and get a (modded) one from a fellow 6speeder. That would be certified enough. I saw a $70k -600Hp one the other day that I would've gotten if it wasn't that I love mine.

 

It was an 02tt but 31k miles for $57,500

thanks, i know i would modify soon, that could be some great advice. i track my m3 often, because of that i realize the beating a tracked car takes. that is the only reason i am shy of a heavily modded 996. it will be a tough choice.

 

thank you, that is the perfect kind of info i'm looking for. i appreciate your time and your post.

 

Your can do considerate mods to a turbo and stil have no problems whatsoever when you track the crap out of it (well except going through pads because of the weight)

 

February purchase of an '03 Silver/Black 996tt 6 spd with 17K miles. Paid $66.8K in Dallas, TX. Had it shipped to MD for $750.

 

Wow, thats a great price! Where did you find a car like that?

 

I suppose it was a combination of a couple things like time of year (early February) and the fact that it was an independent dealer specializing in 5,6, and 7 series Bimmers (didn't know much about the car, really). It was in Dallas, TX. Car needed tires pretty bad so that was an immediate $1,500 there. All in all it was a great deal for me. They wanted $71K for it and I said the most I would do was $66K.....he offered $66.8K and I took it.

 

Don't shy away from a modded tt because of fear of abuse... Mine was bought for $71K, is a 2001 model, had 9K miles on it when I bought it and is making 600BHP, 510WHP... The car wasn't "abused" in any way that I can visibly tell.

Buy an extended warranty and have peace of mind.

that sounds like a awesome car, i know i will mod whatever i buy, so it might be smart to look for a modded one. you just dont know if they were abused or not. cant wait to get one though, gotta sell the m3 first.
thanks for the info
