I've talked to a couple of dealers about 997.1 TT's and had them drop prices $5-7k at the drop of a hat from listed prices - numbers I would have thought not even reachable from listing prices. Are prices for '07-09's getting soft? I'm pretty surprised and not sure what real market is. I've seen that Mannheim prices for '09's are mid80's - well below the prices car are listed for (mid 90's). Seems like there is more room to bargain than I thought. Anyone have similar experiences? Looking to make a deal on a car and hoping not to get taken.

Dealers will always get as much as they can for a TT. Shop around and compare prices. The Manheim numbers can be misleading for many reasons because they don't include all the costs involved when purchasing from an auction. Personally I would only by a TT from a Authorized Porsche Dealer. Good luck with your search!

 

I paid $92k for my fully loaded 2008 TT with PCCB and 13,000 miles. Absolutely mint condition with a great color combo (arctic silver with black interior).

I paid 76.5k for my 2007 Guards Red Turbo with 21,000 miles on it, one owner.

OEM Warranty on it's way out is probably a factor?

I just looked at every car linked above... at least based on those numbers, it looks like they haven't seen any abnormal depreciation?

 

There is no deal on these cars, they will continue to drop in price or "value".
Just find the one you like and buy it...or don't.

 

Thanks much for the intel. Sounds like a nice one.

I was offered an '07 loaded with PCCBs for $81k and 15k miles, but passed on it. Want a newer one.

Unproductive comments are a waste of everyone's time.

The reason I ask is as I suggested - wondering if asking prices are inflated and cars aren't really moving near asking. Other points of reference - I was offered two "fairly" equipped '09's ($137k stickers) for $90k (15k and 18k miles). Both CPO and were listed at $96 and $93k. Dealers offered $3k more on my M3 at the same time! This was not hard bargaining either, i.e. threatening to walk away, taking a lot of time, etc. Trying to judge where '09's should go. Sounds like in the high 80's with CPO and under 20k miles.

Issues I see with the '07's is that they are well out of warranty AND many were delivered early '06. If you look at '09's, many were actually delivered in '09. As a result they are more like three years newer.

Thanks for the help!

 

Yes this is true I $told mine and I rather not say the price. I traded my M/// so it's to complicated.

 

5 months ago I picked up an 07', fairly well optioned (sticker was 149k), with 20k on the clock for 80.9k. I really liked the color combo, plus living in Hawaii pickings were slim, so I was ok paying a little more. Happy hunting...

 

yes the have most certainly dropped in the past 6 months.

 

If I could get about 50% of what I paid in 4-5 years of owership I would be happy with that as a seller..so 70-80k ish one would assume for well optioned Turbos.

 

I paid at Mannheim auction 87 for a 08 triple black convertible with 12k miles and 148 sticker price. No paint job, single owner.
Usually dealers get 5-10k per car easily.
Do your job, don't worry about CPO.
With that 5-10k you are saving, you will cover any repairs on next 1-2 years and you can buy some accessories for your new baby. !!!
Just a though...
It works for me all the time.

 

Interesting. Will need to investigate getting a line into the auction. I saw some auction trades of $85k for 09 turbo cabs with less than 10k miles. I agree on the potential savings. Sounds like you can check fits paint work, but can you check the DME on auction cars?

 

If private sale has all records and dealer info etc. dont worry about CPO. Like mentioned take the $$ saved and keep for potential repairs down the road.

 

Based on prices I've seen anywhere in the mid to upper 70's for an 07-08 and mid to uppder 80's for an 09.

My opinion newer is always better, go with an 09 unless you find a sreaming deal with all the right options.
