Default Current price for 981

I'm starting to look at 981s manuals. Prices seems to be all over the map. Can you guys post what you paid for your car and a little about the car like options and miles? Also whether you bought if from a dealer or private party?
Also how much you were able to knock down the asking price?
Thanks.

Thanks

I bought a loaded 2013 BS. PDK, Sports Chrono, PASM, PSE and PTV with 30K miles for $40K last November. The car had a cosmetic Carfax accident with the bumper and left quarter repainted when it was six months old. Had a PPI done. Car still had the original rotors with new pads and needed two front tires. Getting car ready for DE in late March.

yes, there are lots of cars with similar prices that look alike, but could be $20k +/- in actual sticker price with options.

https://vinanalytics.com/ is a must have bookmark when shopping these cars.... it was very useful in my search last year

Hey stranger. Miss you back here in UT.

I did indeed. Sold the 911 via Adam and then did a little in and out via Adam with the purchase. Sold the 911 for more than I bought it for.
