Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

hi guys i am a new member here, hope you can help me buy the right 996tt..if so, im going to become a regular on here!
there is an 02 plate factory x50 996tt, manual, black,pcm 1, with 42k and full history..he wants £34k
i am viewing tomorrow BUT it has 5 OWNERS?
does anyone see that as a problem come resale time as i tend to keep my cars <12months??
it seems in showroom condn and is a factory X50
How much does a opc warranty cost?
please let me know what you think as i am viewing tomorrow
thanks again guys
These cars change owners more often than your typical shopping trolley, 5 owners for a 7 year old car is not excessive.
PPI is a real must, and Full Service History, everyone will tell you that and buy on condition, that is far more important in my opinion than the number of owners, 5 "careful" owners better than 2 uncarefull ones!
Whilst there are less cars for sale now than a few months ago its worth shopping around. Its an over used expression but buy the best car you can afford,
Warranty is circa 1400 now i believe,
Good luck with your search....
Would not worry me at all
Follow petrolheads advice bargain down due to the amount of owners if you can.
Contry to popular belief TT's of this spec and year are hard to find and holding their values well.
And
P. P. I. Is. A. Must.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/list]
went to look at the 996tt..not for me im afraid..cannot justify spending circa £34-£35k on a 02-03 plate car without warranty..seemed dated to me..it was too fast really..unuseable speed and the interior looked bland
Going to buy a BMW M5 instead, that money will get me a 56 plate with fresh looks..
oh well
A colleague test drove an M5 thinking about changing from his TT, said he found it a little gutless at low revs with all the power stacked up the top. He couldn't find anything to compare to the TT at that price and decided to keep.
