Just Missed a Good Deal

I traded my BS for an 07 P 911 TT a little over a year ago and have regretted that decision ever since. I'm re-testing the BS waters again and just missed an Iridium Silver/Black BS with 35K at an MB dealership in Dallas. They just completed Service B, installed 4 new tires and detailed the car. The Carfax history was clean, two previous owners, and it was an original CA car first sold on 08/22/07 (early one) Unfortunately it sold yesterday, I could have picked it up for $59K.

$59k?!?! That's really not bad considering the $140k price when they first came out. Holy smokes.

I wouldn't sell mine for $90. Nothing close at that price. It's the real deal.

Oddly, I feel like prices have already stabilized... until I saw this post. It probably was just a fluke. (Which means, yes, you missed out on what appears to be a solid deal. )

There are a number of exhausts you can buy that make a 997 sound a lot better. You can also reflash the ECU at the same time and get 550-600 bhp.

Plus it's a dealer, not a private sale which means someone probably traded it in for a lot closer to $50K.

There are plenty of exhausts for the 997.1TT and 997.2TT, Europipe is the best sounding exhaust, then GMG WC-GT, Cargraphic, Tubi, FVD, Akrapovic and etc... With a simple ECU tune & exhaust, it's game over.
