Setting a new low price for 996TT ...

[James44]

maybe not a preferred colour, but with 36k miles ... and assuming nothing major needs doing

Its green, doesn't that always knock £5k off the price?

[Zyp]

Original launch colour, I believe.

But a tip, with ruffled leather....

[James44]

The green and ruffled leather I kinda like, the tip would be a showstopper for me. But for most others I presume it wouldn't.

Maybe that £5k discount is about right, most other turbos at below 40k miles are £30k plus. I'm surprised I though as its a fairly safe colour scheme (unlike some of the really loud interiors you occasionally see).

[Magic919]

Porsche family colour. Pity it does not have the brown interior.

[bullettneil]

Love the colour.not keen on tip tbh. And grey ruffled isnt bad.
Could be caramac or orange(read porsche faded red) in there

[carcrazypop]

Looks like a pre-facelift car(no glovebox), but even so, if all checks out, that's a potential bargain at that price.

[Beanoir]

Green cars are bad luck aren't they?

Green modern era cars are always harder to sell.

[carcrazypop]

Having given this car a bit of thought, I think any prospective buyer of this car should definitely consider getting a detailed independent inspection done; the car is about 12 years old, and at this mileage seems too low a price, especially from a Dealer, so all may be not what it seems, who knows ?

Given that mileage seems like good value provided:

A) passed a detailed inspection and mileage backed up by history
B) you don't mind tip, green, grey interior, ruffled leather

No one has mentioned the Alpine head unit: that's not very nice either.

There's a standard 996 in the same green that I see in the car park at my gym from time to time. The colour works well in the flesh. Makes a change from silver.

not great but I would much prefer that to the factory fit

[James44]

Saw the Alpine unit as a positive too. Not original, but looks better than PCM1.

Assuming no major work and car checks out, still seems still a steal.

How much would it cost to put PCM back in there?

[jakesmith]

Honestly, putting PCM back in would be retarded, even pcm3 is a load of crap so why go to an effort to remove something better to put something worse in just so it matches the dash? PCM 1 is now getting on for 20 years out of date

Why - would you miss the cassette deck, zero iPod connectivity and SIM-based phone that doesn't work?

No, just the originality. But then I'm weird like that.

Fair enough but imagine the owner still has the fossil tech in a box somewhere

[James44]

Is it me, or has it just jumped up a grand?
