Morning Fella,
That 997TT is the first turbo I went to see when I began my hunt a few months ago.
(i'm a bit of a perfectionist so take some of this with a pinch of salt)
It was a pretty nice looking motor but they hadn't prepped it for a while and it had been sat outside for a few weeks before they brought it in and I sat in it so it was dusty and leaves were in the front bumper.
The front bumper/bonnet looked like it had recently had it stonechips sorted as it looked great (it wasn't done by them) the seat bolsters looked a bit worn but they said they would get them treated/dyed if I took it off them.
I think the back of the seats has a few scuffs and they offered to get that sorted but I'm not sure they appreciated how big a job like that may be.
Alloys needed a bit of work but thats typical, apparently a chap that p/x'd it in took a lambo or ferarri and I think he works out of the country but they can call him to answer questions on it if you have any.
The part that really interested me but ultimately put me off is that the sales guy told me that it had "uprated turbo's" fitted by an OPC?? I asked him to prove what work had been done and when he called back the next day he couldn't give me any more info.
It was up for £43k in May time when I went and I eventually got an 07 plate with 9months porsche warranty intact for exactly the same price (10k more on the clock though)
I know this is the same car as there is a little round sticker on the centre console (over the red centre locking light that flashes when you press the key fob), I don't know why its there and I didn't want to pull it off but anyone in the know would notice this so I don't know why they left it on as it just shows poor prep!
I have to say they were really nice guys to deal with over the phone and face to face but the car just wasn't for me as I really wanted one with a bit of warranty or an absolute minter.
I'd like to know what you think of it though, don't be put off by my rambling as I always find things to grumble about when buying a car and it could be fully prepped now !
