Looks fair at 79k miles to me.

I'd agree with you Paul, but look at how much cars with slightly less miles are up for...

or this with more miles...

£3-4K less than I'd expect to see. Take into account the stealers £2-3K mark-up and the previous owner threw that car away.

That car is the same colour spec as mine and from what I have read on here it is not considered by some the most desirable which just shows how fashions change since when these cars were new, the iris ones were considered the prettiest - anyhow still looks good to me
I saw that that car had been hanging around and bumped into the garage owners brother (who is an old friend) a few months back and asked him about the car, he said they couldn't believe that it hadn't sold since it was the real thing and he mused maybe they had pitched it too cheap ?

Usual caveats about motor dealers apply (even if they are mates )

Just saying it looks fair and worth further investigation, the others appear to have been up for a while...good luck with it, great colour..I really would take the time to check out a 993TT, make sure it makes close to the factory power figures...not hard to spend £5-10k+ getting it right...then how would it appear on the value front?

[rubystone]

I actually like the colour - I wonder whether that's the reason the Iris Blue GT3 Mark 1 hasn't sold yet (assuming that the owner hasn't just forgotten to remove it from PH?).

I agree though that these cars need a good inspection before parting with cash...

179k miles may be closer to the truth considering how easy the 993 is to clock.

also no of owner is a good indicator, i suspect high.

Looks a very good price to me get it inspected and buy, not lose anything provided all is well.

[Alastairm]

it has rust around the windscreen and a few other things that need doing-it's by no means perfect but it's a good starting point to spend some money on and bring it up to scratch.

Excellent colour once you spent £300 on a zymol treatment by a specialist.

Price seems cheap to me, its got to be worth checking out and if it looks ok, the service history stacks up etc get it inspected by someone who knows his 993 TT perhaps TB993 can recomend his local specialist to do the once over.
