The car is worth it. I sold my 2003 turbo for the "S" and it is a totally different car. The brakes alone are amazing. Plus no BRAKE DUST!!! Have you driven one yet? Much better response and handling because of the brakes.

Not an S, which is what the OP asks... 2004 is a non-S year
Plus he has 93k miles on it... https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/2719345-post25.html

Look for a low milage car. I purchased mine in October of 2005 and it has a build date of 5/2005. Mine runs very strong.

IMHO, unless you are very lucky or fall into a bucket of ripe Strawberries and whipped cream, (I love ripe Strawberries and cream!) you are going to pay well for a pristine, showroom condition "S".
I started my quest for the TT and finally decided on the S in Feb 2007, I must have looked and driven 10's of cars, under 100 but more than 50. I know I am picky, but I thought I would never ever find one.
I gave up in December 2008 and in January a friend said he saw one while on a business trip to Cleveland Ohio of all places. It was a Florida car from Boca that had been purchased from it's original owner and trucked to Ohio, go figure, I live in Florida, that seems like irony, or at least close to it. I looked and looked at it on the web, talked to the dealer for what seemed forever, I am sure he was fed up with me. I made him an offer, which by the way was not that low, but was 14k below his asking price (4K miles 2005 CAB), of course he turned me down. I forgot all about it.
One day I think in Feb 2009 I got an email asking if I was still interested. So a day later I flew to Cleveland to do a touchy feely. I could not fault her, but as I was there the dealer thought he could ask me to go higher than my offer. He did not know I used FF Miles to get there. I told him he was wasting my time and flew home. The next day he accepted my offer pending an inspection at a garage of my choice.
The PPI came back stellar, the Porsche Dealer, said the car was like New and apart from 2 minor cosmetic issues that I did not see when I was there, they could not fault it either.
So I was now the proud new owner of an S. 3 days later she arrived on my doorstep. I have not looked back since.
She has never dissappointed me.

I've been tracking the prices of Turbo Coupes for about 3 months now and can share the following about S Coupes (haven't been following the Cab prices as I am personally looking for a Coupe):
Within the past 3 months, a dealer in IL has unloaded 2 S Coupes, both with roughly 30k miles.
The red one had an aerokit and not much else went for around $59k.
The Slate Grey one had a GT2 front bumper and GT2 style wing blade as well as some minor mods (flash and exhaust, I believe) for ~$61k.
Both were listed on eBay with the above prices listed as the Buy It Now price, so it's safe to assume that they sold for about that amount.
A dealer in NV has a GT Silver S Coupe, also around 30k miles, with minor mods listed for $59k. It has sat for at least 2 months now. I think the problem is that it has a Tiptronic transmission.
So it's safe to say that Coupes with low 30k miles or so with some nice mods should pull around high $50k.
Not sure about the low mileage examles (those with below 20k miles). I see listings for those and the asking prices seem to be all over the place with no conclusive evidence that they sold for anywhere near the asking price.
