What's it worth again???
Discussion
Few thoughts.
What is the "CEL" problem?
Value wise its a pre upgrade car without PCM so that will make it worth less than later cars (even though many here argue it shouldn't and people shouldn't need PCM / glovebox on such a great car etc. - don't want to reopen that arguement as its been done to death).
From wisebuyers:
"Porsche 911 (1997-05)
Carrera 4 2Dr Coupe 3.6 Turbo (2002/02)
Car valuation adjusted for 22,000 miles
Retail: £49,600
Private Good: £44,420
Private Average: £40,050
Private Poor: £36,870
Part Exchange: £42,430
Trade: £40,840"
As its an X50, this could make it worth a bit more, but I'm not sure how sought after this option is. I'm looking for a TT, but I'm not seeking a X50 model, infact would prefer a stock one as I percieve it to be a) quick enough and b) lower cost mtn & have a less stressed engine.
These values look behind the asking prices on here & the 'trader, but perhaps reflect more realistic actual selling values. What did you pay for it?
Point to consider: you come across as a driver (noting discussion of mods etc.) who has absolutely ragged the nuts off your TT and probably have little mechanical sympathy. Now I don't know you and have absolutely no grounds for judging that you have done this - you could drive like a nun for all I know. However, as a say, "you come across as", i.e. it seems that way from the things you've posted. As a result this would make we wary of buying such a car as I'd worry it'd been thrashed. This may affect any offers you would get (i.e. they may be lower to cover buyers risk of more things going wrong with a "thrashed car" ).
Hope this helps - I'm just being honest.
PS:
I'd recommend trying not to type in caps as it can annoys some readers / potential buyers.
Similarly calling everyone "lads" could alienate & put off some readers (e.g. ladies, who do have TTs too).

Guys,
I`ve retracted post. Cant be arsed with the PCM/SAT NAV thing and people going on about mod`s.
Sorry to waste your time.
I know what my cars worth, as its one of the best around. And after Glynn`s been next month it`ll be even better. Should I decide to keep it.
Thanks again
