2001 996 TT 52K miles on the clock $48K. I havent seen it.

or
2003 996 C4S 18K miles. $55K. Carbon fiber everywhere. Looks new. CPO Porsche


Both black on black. These are both asking prices. I'd love to get a 01 TT for 42K if I can get him down.
I'll need to PPI on the 996TT

No, scared I might buy it if I do

I have considered it, still do at times, but a 997S is ahead of a 996TT. My sons soon to be college $$$ leads them both, I'm hoping...

I choose the C4S based on the info given, if all is equal the TT no doubt.

In this case the C4S sounds to be the ovrall better choice for what I look for in cars (mint, low miles, pampered, good options, etc).

Don't forget slower with inferior motor and most important it doesn't have those sexy air scoops at the rear fenders.

Unless you have some weird NA fetish then it is the TT no contest.
