Well 24K will be the problem, there are 10 for sale within 40 miles on me on autotrader with between 28K and 38K miles and under £60K.

That seems like a lot of choice to me!

OPC Swindon have one for £60K with 27.5K miles that should fit the bill. It will be difficult to find a 4/5 year old car with on 24K on the clock.

Why so low on the miles - it doesn't mean you will get a better car? And why 24K, why not 30K?

I think Clutch changes hover around every 20-30k mark, but have heard of them goin in under 10k in some cases, so best check.

Check front rads, as they are prone to leaks from stone chips etc..

They eat rear tyres every 6-8k on hard road use.

Bose is a very worth while option.

Plus the 4 year service is approx £1200 as the plug need replacing

although he's found one...

some useful advice from mr TT Stu...

I think the flurry of changing perfectly good cars at low prices to get a 997 TT is over. I think talk of falling prices may be a little over stated (just gut feel, I haven't looked closely).So, this means a low mileage car is going to cost.Also I suspect that people with low mileage cars aren't in any rush to change now. If they wanted the latest, they probably have already done it.Of course there will be the odd one that comes up from time to time, but they will probably go to OPCs and be priced accordingly.I don't think the servicing is that bad.24K is a bigger service, due to the plugs and other stuff, but so what. You can't run these things on a shoestring.Even if the clutch is knackered, it's "only" a grand to get it changed.To be honest, if a grand is an issue, then you may want to consider if it is the right car. A set of tyres is getting that way, a new turbo costs more than that as well, and Insurance will be in the 4 figure ball park.It' a 90-100K car with reasuringly expensive bits.Anyway, if just used on road, then it is not that bad. I get the car rolling, then floor it. So I am gentle on the clutch.After 36K I think I am only half way through itI just commute in it, so don't go too mental due to the traffic, and the bits don't wear out that fast. I get more than 6-8K miles out of the tyres.I suppose the other thing to look for on a 4-5 year old car is whether the air con needs servicing.You can extend the warranty to 9 years or 120K miles, so the engine, gearbox and driveshafts are covered.Suspension is not, nor are interior electrical items such as radio, sat nav, etc.But it'll need to be non-modified, or at least capable of being returned to standard to comply.

When I researched the 996 TT a month ago, an OPC buyer told me that 02/03 vintage 996TT's would continue to depreciate at 5-6K per year for the next two years providing they were purchased at a reasonable price. Mark Pearce also adviced me that continue depreciate by approx 15K over the next 24mths.

last months Class's guide trade 'book' price for 996 TT's are as follows:-

02/52 with 23,000 miles £50,650

03/52 with 23,000 miles £52,000

03/03 with 21,000 miles £53,700

03/53 with 19,000 miles £55,600

These values assume expected options such as Sat/Nav etc are fitted and the car has a full history. Generally, dealers are offering £500 - £1,000k under Book.
