And because there seems to be a belief that all 964T's start at $150k+ for low mileage cars here is what I am talking about. This car can be had cheaper and if you spend 10 minutes running searches you will find more just like it priced slightly lower and slightly higher. So, I don't think I am WAAAY off wanting to spend $100k on a car with UNDER 70k miles or stating that a 40k+ mile car priced at $150k is not market correct:

I think you can find a nice 50k-70k mileage examples for around $100k these days. Just need to be patient.
Here's a 36k mile example asking $126k. Keep in mind Chequered Flag notoriously asks all the money and some on their cars.

I agree. I love the black car in this post and I was/ready remain very interested but if I can get a car with 1/3 the miles for not much more then....I just know low miles makes the day with any car and you need to save a lot to make a higher mileage car make sense. Otherwise, I will get killed on the resale.

hmmm, and I sit here wondering if bmwtmx ever got in touch with Opo, to work out an agreeable price. Seems like it fits the bill perfectly per original post #1 specifications.
... or buy the chequered flag car. wait,... this is not a purchase to own & drive tho is it. Oops,... now I'm getting the picture. Sorry. Disregard my comments.

I could kill myself for what I sold my 964 Turbo's for. That's why I'm holding out for the right buyer for my 930. Everyone wants to tell me how the market has gone soft on them and offer super low figures, oh well I'll just wait until it gets hard again

"I want to buy x type of car but I don't want to pay the current market value." Well hell, who does?
Life is shorter than anyone realizes. It's only money. If you really want x car, buy it and enjoy.
My old boss dithered about buying himself a toy. Money wasn't an issue. He died suddenly before he got anything.
His wife didn't stand over his casket and tell everyone what a great guy he was because he didn't treat himself to a car.
The market's "soft" only for buyers; a preposition as evidenced by this thread
I ran into the PO of my car at the Dream Cruise. Since I bought my car from him, he's become a broker.
He says to me "you know, this car's worth $70-80k now".
I got a good laugh out of that.

FYI Paul Miller Porsche has a turbo for sale. I knew the previous owner but know nothing about the car. It appears to be leaking oil probably from lack of use but might be worth a look. I am not sure I believe there is some paint work but would need to meter it for sure. I don't see any reason to not believe the 26k mile odo reading but the car will need some work.
I would ask for Nick if you call.
For some reason these photos will not post right side up.

Car is on consignment. Owner apparently won't take anything less than $130K. For now......

I haven't had a chance to speak with him i will see him at lightning in a few weeks. I'm surprised he will go that low. It is a nice clean car. If you want low mileage this is one to consider but as said you can't have it all unless your willing to pay.

How's the paint look? Chips on the front end, rockers, rear fender, I assume?

I saw it during a social event I was running for our local PCA. Was in a jacket so i didn't climb underneath. Although the owner is a friend I still like to call it as i see it. Only concern was an oil absorption rag under the center of the engine with a few areas that obviously had some oil leaked onto it. Without further inspection I couldn't opine on why or how extensive. The interior and engine bay were concours clean and appear to be that way from new. Not as clean as my car but I haven't seen many that are.
If anyone is interested I can make time to look it over more closely.
IMO assuming everything else checks out the asking price is more than fair for the mileage and condition.

Take a look at the current dealer inventory on the market. So many of the cars available have been listed for the last 3-6 months. The same cars continue to get listed over and over and over with no lowering in price like we the buyers are supposedly insane for not taking advantage of the amazing values. The suckers that bought in in the last 6-12 months hoping to flip for a quick profit are now sitting on their "investments" puzzled as to why buyers are no longer lined up out the door. It's called the market is cooling. Now that means absolutely squat to those of you that are in no financial need of selling, but to those that are it's about to be a brutal awakening. Only those fools with zero willpower and the "have to have it now" mentality will continue to be taken advantage of. The buyers with patience will make out in spades over the next six months.
Let's simply agree to disagree on this topic and plan to come back in March to see who's right?
