This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Last year I brought a 996tt (02) and to be honest you cant compare the two cars, best advice I can give you is to take "the boss" and test drive a few, once you have driven one that will be it you will be raiding the piggy bank!!!

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening all, I am currently trying to persuade my wife that we need to upgrade the 996 C2 we have to a 996TT. I have put my specifications forward as follows it must be a 02 facelift version or later and it must be basalt black or midnight blue, but what I need to know -in order to strengthen my argument, is what are the differences between the the facelift version and previous versions as I wasn't aware of a "pre-facelift" TT. Many thanks for any advice

POST 2Original post

Hi I had a C2 a few years ago, was a 1998 so one of the early 996's Last year I brought a 996tt (02) and to be honest you cant compare the two cars, best advice I can give you is to take "the boss" and test drive a few, once you have driven one that will be it you will be raiding the piggy bank!!! Oh and there wasnt a pre facelift 996tt, I believe 00 was the earliest although there were some improvements made 02 onwards, not quite sure what they were though, Lots of really usefull info on this site as well as some really helpfull people, Happy hunting..... :thumb:

POST 3Original post

Glovebox, ideal for lipstick, little umbrella and a compact. The MY03 cars upgraded (joked) to the MOST bus for stereo/PCM so the maps are a little more up-to-date so she can find all the lovely boutiques etc If you go a little later ie. MY04 cars there's the 2 year service interval so she doesn't have to deal with grease monkeys in OPCs
