I bought my '08 TT two years ago. It had 6600 miles and CPO. It now has over 34,000 miles. The garage link transmitter was defective, but replaced under warranty. Other than that, routine maintenance. Getting ready to put new shoes on it. They should arrive today. Paid $92,000. Listed for $132,000 new.

 

The thing with high milleage cars is that most of the parts have high milleage too and would need to be changed soon (shocks, brake rotors, bushings, coils, spark plugs etc) and at the end after changing all these parts you don't save that much money.

 

All these low turbo prices are great news for Buyers but what aout the Trade-iners. They get ripped off big time. Strange these expensively built cars sre targeted for the same % depreciation as considerably less expensive cars (<$35K). Strange, one would think the % depreciation would be less if these expensive cars are built better to last longer, but that would mean fewer big-bucks going to the dealers.

 

I am thinking that you want to approach this issue in the different way IF you plan to track AND if you plan to make some mods to improve the trackability of the car. So, first rule in or out that requirement. If you want to make that car very good on the track, you need to look for a car that has the work done ie modded with that purpose in mind and that would become your MAJOR objective to find the correct modded car. Doing that would save you BEAUCOUP BUCKS If that is not what you want to do and you are just looking for a stock 997T I would go for the youngest car I could find with the Mezger engine, not necessarily the lowest mileage all things equal. Look for the right options, get the solid PPI done and drive the pants of it. Most likely, you will be pushing the brake before the car is out of guts!!! LOL

 

Damn, you stole that car!!

If the car is in excellent condition and proprely maintained, the mileage shouldn't be a huge factor.

 

I feel good about my deal then, got my 07 TT with 18,500 on it, sport chrono, terra cotta, silver, awesome condition for $74k a little over a month ago.

 

im buying a 07 tt w/ 59k on it. i'm almost more worried about low millage cars. these things should be driven!

 

No need to be scared of miles if it was driven by someone that took care of it. That has always been my philosophy. Also doesn't hurt if you can grab one with CPO.

 

There was one here in town also in forest green and with brown interior. That thing was for sale for 8 months...they started asking $ 105k...the last advertised price I saw was $ 85k...then, it disappeared. It was an extremely low mile car.
