After one year of true pleasure as my dd and one drag strip run using launch control and one 25 min session at my local track, I have sold my beloved 997.2 TTS.

A few life circumstances arouse over the past 2 weeks, mainly that I bought the car with out my wifes 100% approval so it just seemed like the right thing to do was to unload it. The car had 7,200 miles and was a 174k msrp car that I picked up new for $161,500 and got all the money on my 08 Cayeene TT as trade. I drove up to Beachwood Porsche to make the deal happen from San Antonio.

I was offered as low as 120k from Park Place in Dallas, 130k from Porsche of North Houston and 130k from my local dealer here in SA. I countered them back with 134k and the need I had for them to perform an "in out" on a 996GT3 I had just bought but not titled or paid taxes on. The tax money saved was $3k and I owed 127k on the car so I realized a bit of cash and a quick sale which was important to me.

My original plan was to sell my 03 tt protomotive tuned pe650 car that is listed on all the sites to replenish my cash out put paid on the gt3 but then this came up so even though I sold a car I really loved, when I got in my 03 tt today, most of the sorrow was gone. I will likely keep the 03 tt unless someone wanted to give me my full asking price which I hope does not happen soon.

For a split second, the day I was to consumate the deal on my TTS, a buyer called on my 03 but did not pull the trigger fast enough. An earlier buyer also contacted me today who had seen the car 2 weeks ago and I let him know I would likely keep the car.

I am hoping that in 4-5 more years after the 991TT and TTS come out, I will be able to get back into another 997.2 TTS but this time with mamma bears blessing and this time it will be the color I originally wanted but could not get at the price I wanted to pay. WHITE.

So $134 on trade? Not bad.

 

Good luck with the new ride!
I saw in another thread that you ran a 10.7 @129 in the TTS, was that stock? If so that's the fastest I've seen

 

bone stock, 1850 miles on the clock, 34 ft and 40 rear on tires, sport plus on and LC used but left traction control on. It was amazing but only done one time, which was all I needed. 80 degrees outside.

Amazing car right out of the box. My only suggestion would have been to have a nicer sounding exhaust note.

 

Wow that really is amazing! I have hoped to break 11.0 in stock form, so it looks like it should be possible with the right conditions!

 

Yikes! That's pretty massive depreciation in one year!

 

Think it was good deal he got $134 for 8k miles TTS. Depreciation of $27 for one good year! Bearing in mind, public misperception - including dealers - new 991 turbo is just around the corner !?

 

The next Turbo will be MSRP'ing for near $200K out the door with options, title and licensing.

Hope it has every bit the power of the out going S Turbo, should.

Don't know if I'm going to buy an 991 911 or a Turbo S if the bottom falls out when the next turbo lands. I just hate it when Porsche comes out with the products which makes me change my plans on buying stuff.

 

I recently opted to pick up a '13 997 tt over a '13 991 CS. I was able to get the dealer to reduce the $150k msrp by $15k, so the two cars were practically the same price, which made it a no brainer for myself. I'm loving every minute with this car so far!

 

7,100 miles for what its worth. It was a very good year.
