i don't mean for this to sound like a rant, but i just reviewed Chequered Flag's website and they have 3 available 964s and the cheapest one is a '93 for $63.5k with 110k miles. they also have a '94 with 136k miles for $67.5k and a '91 with 63k miles for $73.5k. i know the resale business, but it still bugs me that they can artificially raise the prices on a market. if those cars were sold private party, you'd likely be looking at prices in the 50s and possibly low 60s - likely the high end of the prices they actually paid. they'll sit on the cars until the market starts to reach their prices. i know of a car that was bought by a dealer who gave the seller the "this is my dream car, i've been looking, etc, etc..." and it was literally on a website the next day after the sale with a premium attached. i'd much rather buy from a private seller and pay a fair market price instead of a car that has simply had a premium tacked onto it.

Abreu and cheq flag don't have very good online reviews, and both their prices are always astronomical, Holt are great, but also very high prices, i was holding out to buy from either a private owner here or a dealer with Tarek's reviews and reputation. There is a gray C4 for sale in AZ i'm contemplating now, not first color choice but may have to do, seller wants a lot of money for it though.

and Lorenzoh, i am a serious buyer, i couldn't make him a solid offer because he wasn't selling it 4 months ago, i did hint to him that over 60 would be too much, but i guess that wasn't the case lol.

I pursued this one briefly. It was purchased in my home town so my initial reaction was "she's coming home!".
Googled the VIN and found the ebay auction where the car was purchased a few months back. It had a couple rust issues. I asked the dealer about it and they said they repaired and spotted those areas. While they were at it, they changed the interior (different color, too), added the green and the wheels... I was worried it was a quick flip so I passed. Asking price was $69k.

Hope you find your car soon. potential buyers really are missing the driving experience as minutes pass by. These are true remarkable cars. And worth every penny.

Purchased my 1991 C2 from Chequered Flag. I did pay on the high side, but the car was pristine. Haven't seen a comparable black/black c2 since I bought mine last year.

I'm probably going to list my mint 1991 48k mile black on tan 5 spd sometime in the next month or so but it will be expensive ...

Buying from a private seller is always a best choice if the option is available as is a more personal and probably more honest experience, however, I disagree wholesale with not engaging with a dealer, if they have the car you are looking for, just based on someone else's recount of their experience with that dealer's service or lack there of. You can;t pick up all the details from an online review and it's not like these vehicles are a global offering as if they were a late year model at a Porsche Authorized Dealer. Every experience is different. I have multiple Pcars and one of my aircooled was bought through a dealer and the experience while not perfect was not bad and the price carried the dealer mark up. It is to be expected, but I was not going to pass on the color combo car I had been looking for years just because of someone else's online review good or bad. I have not seen another 964 offering since with same color combo and low miles. Had I passed based on a negative online review, I would still be looking as opposed to driving. If you find a car you like at a dealer, arm yourself with a reputable PPI firm and make them a solid offer after inspection results. You would be surprised more than half of the interest these cars get at dealers will shy away from paying the cost of a PPI. Obviously the dealer will not consider the buyer serious after neglecting this step. As we all have experienced, the good offerings of these cars last hours at best a few days, as there will always be more potential buyers than good cars left out there for sale. Pardon my unsolicited advice but I get approached via PM all the time with the same questions that are posted here and can only speak from personal experience.

Good luck with your search and sincerely hope you find what you are looking for sooner than later.

I'm sure if you offered him a price he couldn't refuse you would of got the 1st call when he was ready to sell. Sounds like you had the in. Don't lose hope unless your searching for a steal of deal. Unfortunately you most likely won't be able to pay for a PPI or even have time to fly in and inspect the car if it's priced below market. Lots of big dogs after C2 Coupes these days.
