not that I'm surprised even though you swear up and down that you love it to death.

hopefully something a bit newer with a warranty will replace it.

I wonder who talked him into it. The something newer is quite the looker.

Good luck, Steve.

For what it's worth, people always expect a little wiggle room on price with a used car. Personally, I think you'd catch more interest pricing at, say, $59K and settle at $57K, rather than a firm $57K, no haggle price, even though the result would be the same.

In any case, it's a great price for a nice looking C4S.

Good luck selling it

Well said and again after a PPI there can be remove for negotiation too. But then today's 993 market isn't your typical used car buying experience.

That Canadian car is priced in line with what I've seen lately. If I were looking I'd be buying this C4S at 57K RIGHT NOW- no question. great looking car and price. USD on the Canadian car is around 71K

Good luck with the sale! This is perfect "ammo" for my next value increase discussion with my insurance company...

Any reason why the forum isn't letting me view your ad? Does it require a certain post count?

Thanks folks. For the gent that can't see the "ad", am I allow to post the info from the ad on this thread w/the pics?

Totally mixed feelings about all this right now. And yes, maybe I should have listed for $59k and settled for $57k. I never really thought of that since "someone" at the Meet and Drive last Sunday suggested doing what I did - a "no haggle price".

Or maybe I did that so no one would buy it.

In any case, it should be an interesting month or two to see what happens with this. If nothing happens and it doesn't sell, I'll still be a 993 owner, smiling while driving down the road, and paying out my usual $3k-9K a year in repairs since I can't and won't work on my own car.

Best regards,

Steve

I'm able to access listings on the RL classifieds vehicle marketplace, but can't access the link you provided in your first post since it comes up as a member-to-member listing that I'm apparently unable to access. Any reason you can't post it on the Vehicle Marketplace so others can see it?

I am not a long term owner (less than a year). I purchased my C2 from an older friend who owned her for 15 years and sold to me due to issues related to his knees. I can honestly tell you he misses the car. Be prepared for withdrawal symptoms.

I keep configuring a new GTS or looking at used Turbo / S but the 993...is just perfect.

GLWS and your decision (conflict).


Best,
Nik
