New Porsche 997TT pics v. special invite
It was on the downlow, but I got invited to view the new 997TT yesterday. I showed up a bit late, so I didn't get to join the initial festivities. It was a secret party so to speak as the car can't be "officially" shown until Saturday when it is officially announced. Once the party was over, they took it out of the showroom (as I was there) and hid it in the garage.
My thoughts: It is nice, very nice. It's also bigger, or it at least *looks* bigger in person given the lines and design. The wheels are a bit of a letdown, however. They are two-toned, but I dunno... 19" wheels stock are still a plus. This one was priced at around $133,000. It has the PCCB brakes ($8500) and the Sport Chrono torque boost ($1600) plus a few more options. Not too bad, considering. The turn signal LEDs were a nice touch as well. I am still trying to figure out how I feel about the rear exhaust. I listened to it when they cranked it up and it definitely needs a "louder" exhaust. It was just too tame. I understand why it is like that, but still...
Overall, I like it, but I am not "dying" to get one right away if that makes sense. Perhaps in a few years when they get out into the used market, but for now I'd suggest sitting back and seeing how they do in the market over time. I have learned my lesson on how much they depreciate... They have 996TTs for sale now, with 10-20k miles for high $60k's - low $70k's. That's half price if not more! The sales guy said that they would make 5000 over a 3 year run. We'll see if that holds up. If so, then there will be plenty on the used market in 4-5 years for $70-80k, if that.
