The turbo is a very reliable car.
Take a look to the cluth that could be warn from a bad use and consider that 2003 model may suffer of PCM electronic problems (mine has got one...). Always make the car you want to buy checked from a porsche dealer. After buy discoveries are a very expensive and bad surprise.

Take it to a Porsche dealer for a check up. They will plug the PST and read the ECU for over revs, engine running hours to match speedo and some other important things.
Take a good look to gearbox, there was some issues with second gear popimp out, expensive repair if out of warranty.
Buy a clean car with service history, 996TT has bullet proof engines so you can't go wrong if you take some precautions and don't buy a tuned car.
