Default PRICE DROP UPDATE: 11-14-08

PRICE DROP UPDATE: 11-14-08

I am dropping the buy-it-now price down to $31,000. No more eBay auctions-- the first person to commit gets it. Shoot me a PM or e-mail me at bic@alum.mit.edu if you're interested.

Bic,

Is not the car... the economy really sucks... when you have 996TTs going for US$40kish, and not selling...

anyway, friendly bump... best of luck.

If it was possible to import your car to my country I will surely buy it, it´s really a Gem, but alas.... it is prohibited for us to import used cars so I send you my best luck with the sell.....

The problem is the tip. The rationale for most of the few folks who want a tip, is that it's easier to drive in traffic. But the objective for buying such a low-mile example would be to keep it pristine and not put a bunch of miles on it driving around in traffic. I think this confounds attempts to sell it at a premium. True, the economy doesn't help. That said, you only need to find that one special buyer, and the car is a very nice example. Best of luck!

ps
bump, bump, bump with a price drop every couple days probably doesn't help either. You say you're not going any lower, but casual observation suggests otherwise. This one will take a very specific buyer, and you'll just have to wait for him/her to come along.

Yeah, it's just a bad time to be selling. There are a lot of great car deals to be had out there right now if you have the means. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the kind words!

True, I know that if this car was a 5-speed it would have been sold a while ago. On the other hand, I think the fact that it's a cabriolet helps a little bit in regards to the transmission desirability. If it was a coupe, it would be even harder to sell it with the Tip. So far most of the interest I have gotten from off the forums has been from guys interested in buying the car for their wives. I guess that is to be expected when trying to sell a red convertible with an automatic transmission.

Thanks! That's been my philosophy.

Well, I have been bumping this thread just to make sure it stays visible in the most popular 964 forum on the net. I don't want to miss out on that one special buyer who didn't get a chance to see this car because he wasn't on Rennlist one day. I've had to reduce the price because I didn't realize just how bad of a seller's market it was until I put this car up. I've come down as far as I can go with this car, though. Anything less and it just won't get sold out of principle.

FYI, for those in Central Florida who may be interested in seeing this car, it will be at the Cars and Cafe event in Lake Mary tomorrow morning. Keep an eye out for it!

Maybe someone's trying to tell you to get out there and enjoy putting some miles on such a great car? Difficult time right now, so make the most of it whilst you can.
