Advice on purchasing a pre-owned 996TT

Hey all,

I have been bitten by the bug, and I am seriously considering the purchase of a Turbo! Due to my current income, I would probably be able to afford one if it was slightly used.

Woudl any of you guys be able to recommend things to watch out for when purchasing a used turbo? Brakes? Clutch?

Thanks all!

'Rocket

Rocket,
Best bet is to search around http://www.funcarsonline.com/frames/.../911turbo.htm.

Some things top of mind to be aware of that you can search more for:

1: random honking noise
2: fuel tank not allowing a full fillup
3: high oil usage

I haven't heard anything...but, I would try to find one with very low miles...a 2001 with less than 5000 miles should cost about $115,000 from what i've seen...if need any help, let me know
