Default Everything is negotiable in today's car market...

Non-CPO should be in the high-40's. CPO might be worth $50K. Don't let them bull**** you, there are lots of used cars for sale in today's economy. New 2008's have been selling in the very low 60's.

Default Off topic. sparkhill nice new car!! My cousin just bought an 08' 997 Turbo in Black

what a sick car. Once that thing hits 3k rpms the boost is crazy. I got to drive it in first and second gear only though and it didn't feel much faster then the RS4 under 80mph how crazy is the top end?

Default Thanks...

The turbo response is a little weird compared to other turbo cars I have owned. The Audi's seemed to spool the turbos based on RPM's while the Porsche spools the turbos based on throttle input. So in the Audi, you could down-shift and the turbos would spool up almost regardless of throttle position. The 997TT won't spool the turbos unless you are between 65-100% throttle. So, once you hammer the throttle, the turbos spool (and after a little lag), the power delivery is amazing.

I have an aftermarket exhaust and ECU flash and it really helps with the lack of power on the low end. Tell your brother, it will be the best mod money he has ever spent.
