Interestingly, the one shown at auction with 74k miles went for $32,800. Could it be the same car being discussed in this thread? At a price point near the one listed there, the car could indeed be interesting.

 

If vividracingtx owned it!!!

 

40K for an '04 is certainly a great price, but at 75K miles, it better have an impeccable maint. history. Is it an X50 car? what are the options? Any mods? These are all things that are to be considered. The mileage would def scare a lot of people away, so if you're serious about it, do an extensive PPI on it. All that being said, there's many examples of 996TT's that have WELL OVER 100K miles on them and still going strong. Good luck with your decision.

 

Troublemaker!

 

Even on German and Swiss roads a turbo motor will not outlast 100,000 miles. US driving with more stop-and-go driving might be a little more stress on the engine and tranny.

$40k for the car seems high since the cost for a motor rebuild in just 25,000 miles will be substantial.

 

quite a few people with high miles cars on here that havent rebuilt their motors im not so sure the motor just stops at 100k. now if its been rode hard and put up Wet thats a different story could be a ticking time bomb but oil changes and proper maintence and this motor can last.

 

Mine is for sale:

I know a beautiful 01 with 44k miles, upgraded rims/tires, some very nice mods that is for sale, guy is asking $46k. Drop me a PM, I'll put you in touch.

 

Another Viper guy lurking over here.... Thinking about gettin one of these little rockets...

 

Get one, you won't regret it. Oh yeah!!!!

 

there was a MINT 51k mile '01 996tt that sold at a bmw dealership here in town for $34k! I'd hold off on this car unless they're willing to deal!

 

75k Miles.

 

Sorry man, I call BS. A BMW dealership could turn a nice profit on a TT just by parking it on their lot OR they would have dealt it off to a Porsche dealership in the area, either way, they would make sure to get paid fair market value +++ . If the car was "MINT", it would have brought $6k to $12k more, even with 51k miles on it (which aren't a lot for an 01).

 

I'm in the hunt for a 996TT as well and am in a similiar situation. I'm considering the following:

2003 996TT w/ 68k miles (no navigation) overall the car has a clean carfax, but there are signs the car has been repainted. Also - the front of the car needs to be repainted as it has a "sandblasted" look to it.

Would this car be worth $30 considering the PPI goes well? Deal or No Deal?

 

If the entire car needs to be repainted, a good paint job can easily run 8-10k, now if the car has been repainted already, well that tell's me there's probably an accident in it's past. Accident's could mean frame damage which could mean the car will never be quite the same or be able to be alligned properly depending on how it was repaired. So, for 30K the front bumper, fenders and hood resprayed due to road debri and maybe it just the bumper needs resprayed due to rock chips, then sure 30K would be excellent. But anything you need to add later such as a respray, allignment, 60K service, replacement clutch etc. can add up quickly, before you know it, you've got a $45,000-$50,000 car that you thought you were getting for $30K. Turns out the 30K was just the admission price. Also, at the 68K mileage mark, things become very important such as service records being up to date including the 60K mile service.
