Question Help me price my Taco Car, please

I am about ready to sell my 2001 C4. Since there arent many comp's out there, I am turning to you guys for help. Whats my car worth on a private sale? Seems to be a funny market on the 996's right now, so I am hoping it has not slid too far, too fast

SPECS:
2001 C4
Factory Aero
Rain Forest Green with Savannah
38,000 miles
Full leather
Sport seats
New Pilot Sports
FABSPEED exhaust
Factory Carbon Fiber package
TechArt Gear shift
Hi Fi sound
All maintenance up to snuff.

Your "optimistic" pricing is well appreciated
Thanks

$35k

The color will help you (rare) or hurt you. You have great options on the car!!

Why the sale?

33K-38K all depends on how fast you need to sell

This is the type of car - color, options, miles, aero with wing - that if you have the time you could squeeze out a little more on the top end. The car looks like it shows great, tasteful modifications. Little time and the right enthusiast type buyer I think you could pop 40. Maybe I'm just an optimist.

+1...with Ray on the price...I've been shopping these for months. While I love the color....Silver, seal gray, and black are the most sought after colors with 996's.

Good Luck!!

If your patient, someone will fall in love with the color and pay premium for it. Thats what happened to me. I bought a 2000 Millenium ed, 26k for 40K only 911 made.

They are also the most produced...

Pl - glad you like the Gutter Protection product, it does a great job!!!

I am not sure what the next car is, but I am ready to start the search. I have other cars, so it makes it easy to get rid of this one and then start the search. It WILL be another P - car. I will say to all it is kinda disappointing to hear that a car I paid $44 for 12 months ago, "might" have depreciated down as far as $10k in a year. If I can get $40 for it, that would make sense, as $4k in 12 months should be expected. $10k in 12 months at this price point seems pretty steep.

I think anything over 35k is a bit optimistic. Did you buy private or through a dealer?

If you store your car for the next 35 years it will probably go up to 100K or more.

wow, so the KBB trade-in for C4 coupe with aero-kit is:
Excellent $38,600
Good $36,705
Fair $33,435
you should get $38K private party if you find the right buyer for the unusally color.
