Default Opinions on current market and prices.

Well I have been lurking around on Rennlist for several years. I always have wanted a 964. Several job changes over the past year or so have put my search on hold. I am itching to get one but the wife says to wait. Not sure if that is a good idea or not, market wise not wife wise. She loves cars. We already have 5 cars. What is one more. I currently have a '95 BMW 318ti Club Sport, '99 LR Discovery. The wife drives a '04 Volvo V70R. And we have a '70 Volvo 1800E (40k original miles) and my 1st car an '83 BMW 320i. I do all the work on the cars myself. Just a little background on myself.

I have seen some possible good deals come and go.

I would love a Midnight blue or Amazon Green C2/4. Missed on a really nice Midnight Blue C4 about a year ago
Currently I have my eye on an Amazon C4 with M030 package. 106K on it for $17,500. Not local to me so I can't just check it out. Is it getting harder to find nice well taken care of models?

Just wondering what people thoughts are.
I know a PPI is a must.
Take a look.

I know they've dropped about $5k on a cab, but i'm not sure if that's a linear price drop on all variants.

Clean low miles ones are hard to find but just looking for one and bought one i would say with higher miles 15-18k and low miles very good condition 19-24k. Really depends on what has been done to the car maint wise and what is needed.

Looks like a clean example (outstanding color) with moderate miles, and it sounds like it was maintained responsibly. IF upon inspection, it turns out to be that, I think the pricing is realistic. If this car is legit, I would not expect this car to be on the market long. Decent cars fairly priced still move. If it fits what you are looking for, I would move quickly.

Thumbs up on the R wagon. I have a 2000 V70R, they are great daily drivers and the world's ultimate "sleeper".

That is a nice looking car. Sport seats are a nice bonus. Like the color a lot! Price is on point. Otherwise values have dropped, but will rebound at some point in the near future. If interested I would also suggest you purchase now. Market is ripe for the picking.

Didn't we have someone asking recently about PPI'ing another FL car going at an estate sale?
Weird. The words, "estate sale" tweeked my memory cells. Can't seem to find it, now.
Something about the title not being quite clear... had to finish the sale on a hurried basis... Weird stuff.
Not this one, I'd not think...

Probably not. Mine has got 3 of these 5 digit codes on the order receipt and hood sticker. I think they were option packs rather than separate options. I've yet to find a way to decode them though. Surely someone must know?!

That looks like a nice one. It has been for sale for a few months-I remeber seeing the ad and thinking "I wish it was a C2". Great color and options. Price is fair IMO.

I sometimes track prices on the 1992 models:

From Etom's link, a few mouse scrolls down:

"Used 1992 Porsche 911...1992 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet, 3.6L V6,..."

That would make me feel so confident about the caring owner...

Bearclaw,
My wife has owned 4 volvo wagons in the past 10 years. An '87 740 Turbo Wagon, '98 V70 AWD (low pressure turbo), 2000 V70R (Lazer Blue) and the current '04 V70 R. She has a thing for fast Volvo wagons. It is about time that I get a fast car.

I think that my favorite for knowledge of the car you are selling is:

1992 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet (996)
$19,500
