  1. Phillip, nice to read your great satisfaction with your 07 Turbo. I'm thinking of a Turbo S :-) Shopping is fun.
  2. At least the car is washed by the dealership. I know guys that opt out of the wash to DIY to avoid swirls.
  3. Phillip, you getting an itch? Fun to look and listen.
  4. Curious if the ventillated seats are desirable with the stain issue apparently common.
  5. It will be nice to see what you finally choose and how it suits (moves) you.
  6. I recently drove a 2011 GT3 with Nose lift and my experience was the same. Perhaps it is designed to stay up at stops. I did not get the light to glow but noticed a slight lift. Does 1" lift really help?
  7. The 09 TT is a good improvement over the 08TT. I drove the PDK 4S and it is a nice DD. Too bad you cannot reach to a 10 PDK TT
  8. I have a lead on a 2002 GT2 and a 2005 GT2. These are cars that are fun to look at and to drive under the right conditions. Most are garage queens. I doubt you could get a 2002 GT2 for 50K unless there are unfavorable conditions of the car. Have fun looking. Do not expect to buy, enjoy and move into a different car without cost. Compare the GT2 to the 997 GT3 (drive them) and you will understand why the price points are where they are. Good luck and be safe. Some call the GT2 the widower.
  9. I am also looking at these cars and I do believe GT3 is the most performance orientated. That car is scarry fast on straights and very sharp with braking. Not a winter car :-) Definitely decide what you need as well as what you think you want.

    DME

    Thanks Loren for moving the discussion to the correct forum.

    DME

    Is it possible to have zero at all levels (see attached) KMBT36220110826163515.pdf
  12. I have my eyes on a couple of used 2010 PDK 911 turbos That are for sale. General consensus has been to have a PPI on used cars. Is PPI necessary on a certified car?? Purchasing from another state and wonder how to make a good decision provided I have driven the car previously. A DME would be great if I knew what it means (interpretation). Advise requested (Philip, Loren,others) Thanks
  13. The answer seems easy ... it depends; on you. I would guess from your post that the Turbo S would be best to meet your need for speed. I'd go for the Turbo cab to give top down opportunities. I'm not so sure that these cars are a very good investment regardless of the configuration. They depreciate 20K/yr for 3 yrs. Consider lease if you think you would need to get a newer version.
  14. Very very very nice car. Congrats. Hope to see your discussion threads about this fine car and your experiences.
  15. There is wealth in the information within this forum discussion threads. I have interest in the 997 turbos and the GT3. My wife prefers an automatic tranny for 90 city drives. So to please her, I will go with HER color selection and tranny. But should I seriously consider PDK over the Tiptronic assuming I can afford either tranny? I would appreciate a basic and accurate description of the difference between Tiptronic & PDK transmissions. It appears that the 2009 turbos have Tiptronic tranny and the 2009 NON turbos went to the PDK. Those enthusiasts that love mannual tranny usually dislike the automatic tranny BUT I see more individuals willing to switch from mannual to PDK. Can someone explain what a torque converter is? I understand the Tiptronic uses a torque converter and the PDK is a different(dual clutch)technology. Is the PDK better than the Tiptronic & why or why not? Thanks everyone.
  16. I would find another dealer to evaluate the problem since you are under warrantee. The diagnosis is being missed.
  17. Why wouldn't you sell it on this forum to another enthusiest?
  18. I thank those that have replied in this discussion thread. I am very interested in the 911 Turbo CAB I'm looking at the 08 and 09s and I think Phillip told me there are a lot of them out there. They certainly are out there on autotrader, but the 09s are ~120K 08s ~100-110K. I have learned that the DME is a must part of PPI and certified cars (from Phillip's experience) are optimal. I should start a new topic but thought I'd ask if a Zurich Warrantee is good. I have an Audi dealer looking to sell an 08 911 TT with Zuric Warrantee for 72mo and 60K miles and the dealer states the zurich wannantee is better than a certified car with respect to coverages and lack of omitted coverages. Thoughts appreciated!!!
  19. Curious where you founf your 08 911TT.

    I'm looking at a non CPO 08 911TT CAB and they are asking $98,900 (7,800 miles tiptronic). Please comment.

  20. What did you get? Consider the Bridgestone RE11. Great grip, softer than other R coumpound tires, less choppy. The RE11s as a track only set up is great. All around tire would be Michelin Pilot Super Sport!
