Can anyone explain the price differences in 996TT's out there at all ?
Looking in the PH classifieds there are price differences of around £15k for similar looking cars. Are they that sensitive to spec to command such a premium? is it just dealers sitting on them in the hope they'll continue to push them up & up & up?
If I had £45k to play with, an x50 manual with ~70k seems achievable?
Would that be a sensible starting point? I currently have a Cayman R, only had it 3 months & it is great fun & is fully loaded - the PDK is a godsend around London.... but it does seem to lack a bit of drama & Oooomph in the speed stakes.
Coming from an E46 M3 it's pretty similar, obviously the lightness of the R makes a big difference out on the twisty stuff but it's all a bit sedate (not really but you know what I mean).
For roughly the same cash, a 996TT seems like the dramatic alternative, I'm not that fussed about the toys - I want it to be fast all the time & the 4WD will probably make it a better option for year round weekend fun.
