Hello there,
I'm a BMW fanatic, currently own a 2001 BMW M5. First time in my life I decided to switch to Porsche. Looking at 2004 996 c4s with 36K mi, 2 owners in excellent condition. Here is the link

What do you think about this car? What is the fair price to buy this 911?

Thank you so much for your help.

I would say 40k +/- would be a fair price after a proper ppi has been completed. Or maybe that price with a full warranty.

If it's absolutely pristine (everything is "smack my ***" perfect) $39K is the most you should pay.

I forgot to say...Welcome!! Is there any reason in particular you are getting a C4S? You might be able to get a well situated turbo for 44-45k.

That price is too high in my opinion. Try mid or high 30's

You could find better deals that's for sure!

Thank you so much. I'm specifically looking for low mileage c4s and my price range is $40K. I don't think I will find a turbo for that kind of money.

azaytsev

Last time we talked he said the bottom price is $39.5

soverystout

Then he should take $38k cash no problem.

I would ask for history record on this....

Transmission removed to complete repair
Axle bearing replaced
Oil and filter changed chassis lubricated
Transmission checked
Front crankshaft oil seal replaced

offer him 37K.... the car will not sell at his asking price.

I think his asking price is high, but I wouldn't be shocked to see it sell either. I see a lot of cars sold at dealers with prices that seem "too high" by any guide. Things are worth what somebody's willing to pay for them. If it's the exact car you were looking for with the colors/options, etc. than that ought to be worth a premium. Privately selling that car, I'd be surprised to see it bring more than 39.5k or so, something to consider.

You can definitely get a turbo or even a 997 for that price. I would not go for this car but if you're bent on a C4S then at least keep looking around. The blue interior is kind of cool though.

By the way, post pics of the e39!

Also, just as a reference I got my 40th anniversary with 42k miles for $33k. Same engine, just narrow body and RWD. You could do a lot with $11k in pocket change

azaytsev

thanks for reply. why you would not go for this car?

I love wide body, different suspension, brakes, etc.
