Hello fellow 6speeders,

I have been contemplating the purchase of a 997 Turbo for the past year. I currently have a e92 m3 that I am very satisfied with but have always wanted a Porsche Turbo. I found one that was visually perfect to me and decided to proceed with the PPI. Thanks to the wealth of info on here, I was not a complete fool and knew what to look for. Attached is my DME report which only shows revs in ranges 1-3. Feel free to comment.

Looking good...

 

Pretty clean to me. Best of luck with the purchase!

 

Very clean

 

Thanks guys.

The car did well at the dealer with the exception of a coolant leak. The seller has agreed to take care of that. The car has 21,000 miles and had the 20k service done in May 2012. It also has a set of brand new tires and over 50% life left on the brake pads.
The Porsche tech that performed the PPI drove the car and said everything felt great including the clutch.

A quick question is: Generally what is the clutch life for the 997tt? I know this is very subjective based on how the car was driven and if mods were performed to the car. This car is stock and If you take into account the DME and up to date service, this car seems that have been driven very moderately.

Thanks in advance.

If you read up on this you'll find it ranges from 20-200k miles. Not a joke but there are extreme cases of premature wear and others who have had them last forever. Too many factors to really estimate the life of the clutch.

 

For what it is worth, my 2007 Turbo was CPO'd with higher over rev values.
