Hi all,
just wondering - see some 996 TT's with f/fitted Aerokits. Should this add/subtract value from an otherwise 'normal' TT?
Whats the general opinion on the benefits/drawbacks etc?
thanks!

I like them - certainly don't think it detracts from the car.
Can be expensive though as you are bound to lose a front splitter or two!

yeh agreed - as a road car in london the spoiler is likely to take a hammering from our world of humps!
I take it the rear spoiler is fixed?

The rear spoiler is fixed. Front splitter is €600 a pop.
I like that car by the way!!! Looks very mean. :twisted:

You should be able to find some 02 models. Keep searching - more will keep coming on the market as the 997 TTs are delivered.

Looking for one upto a max of £45k really. Seen a few nice 2001's but ideally want a black one!! What are they losing per month at the moment?
Decided that the power of the turbo is addictive compared to the C4S, and a GT3 isn't the all-rounder i need unfortunately.
cheers

Most Turbo's seem to have lost £8-10K in the last year. I don't think they will drop too much further though. The car is just too good.

Mark may volunteer some information on prices but I find it difficult to believe a decent 996 Turbo is going to drop much beneath the £45K mark.
Supply must be an issue but it seems very odd when such strong prices are bing asked for rarer turbo variants such as 930LE, 965 3.6 and the 993 Turbo. Latter may have some scarcity value but the 996 t is a better every day car.
It does however strike me that pre-facelift 996 prices are in free fall whilst some 993's are actually appreceiating (at least asking prices anyway)
Anyone else have thoughts on the subject?

thanks for the input guys - was looking at this one - a bit up on the miles, but good value with a fsh and warranty from porsche. Any flaws before i make the trip north to take a look?

Aerokits are OK but personally I just didn't like the front splitter. Speed bumps, slopes etc will certainly have a field day with the standard turbo lip let alone the aerokit. I couldn't get my car on my drive with the standard lip so I now have a C4S lip on it (Which is pretty scuffed)
The rear spoiler on the first car is indeed fixed and it does make the car look a little more aggressive. However I do love looking in the rear view mirror and watching the top part of the standard spoiler raise at 75 MPH

As for depreciation I bought with my heart not my head. At worst I would not expect to lose more than £18k over the next 3/4 years as long as I keep the mileage down. Mine was a 51 plate with 19000 miles from an OPC so I did pay a premium for it.
As for owning one, it is without a doubt the best car for me.I thought about the GT3 but I am not a trackday nut like many on here although I do intend to do a couple this year including the Ring. The car is my daily driver and I do need to get two kids in it from time to time. It is perfect for my needs.
And the power........... I think I am right in saying only two other standard Porsches are quicker than it in a straight line (to 100mph anyway) the 997 Turbo and the CGT. (That should provoke some response he he)
