The floor is completely dropping out of the sports car market right now too so if you want to pay less you probably can in a couple months.

Nope, I just know what I’m talking about when it comes to the .1 market.

What do you base this on?

K-A

Anyone who wants a .1, a good rule of thumb is a avoid advice from people who speak in theoreticals when it comes to these cars, i.e “it SHOULD be worth” / “*I* wouldn’t pay....” As someone who actively watched the .1 market for some time, you’re lucky to find any .1 asking in the $50’s. As someone stated, there isn’t one on Autotrader now.

And .1’s are selling for near asking prices. Look in the HFS thread and ask any of the countless people with stories such as my own who inquired on desirable .1’s, threw barely aggressive offers, were countered with maaaaaybe $1K under asking price, and while replying with a second counter offer, had the car sold out from under us for basically asking price.

Normal rules don’t apply for cars that are still new enough to be under warranty and have appreciated in value over what they were selling for two years ago. That is a factual occurrence in .1landia. Now, things can change in the near term, but if you buy that car for $47K today, you WILL be able to sell it for more, immediately. And I’ll guess even well after a year+.

A common rule amongst HFS’ers and .1 shoppers who learned this lesson over and over again, is if you find a good deal or car, jump on it NOW. Or else someone else will.

Not in prices yet, but cars seem to be sitting way longer now than they were in the Spring. When the upcoming stock market correction happens, people will need to move cars and prices will drop.

Or the market can keep climbing and people will miss out on currently better deals than what they will see in the near future.

Hard to say.

But yes, being winter, and especially approaching holidays, cars will be at their best pricing, and won't be moving as fast as they would in summer.

I️ think this would be a steal at $48k if it’s in clean condition.

Not really. It’s fair market value. Low option base Carrera with high miles for the year. Definitely not. Smoking deal. Fair price

Given that people have been waiting for this so called "correction" for years I wouldn't hold your breath...

.2PDK

Actually, impossible to say.

If the mkts have proven anything it's that it fools the most people most of the time.

ok update on this.
I sold my 4s today and I will most likely buy this 991 for 48k.

The biggest change to mention is that I thought car was not CPO but it is until July 2018.
So at 48k I still think is a good deal.

Now I have another question for you 991 owners.
This is the 3.4 liter engine carrera, it has pdk ( i usually drive manual) but it is missing the sport chrono package.
How big of a deal is to have the sport button but not the sport plus ?

Will I hate it?

Your input is appreciated.

Thanks

This is preview of the base 991 in agate gray.

$48K is a great deal if the car is in very nice condition with current service, etc., especially if it is still under CPO.

As for the PDK, some folks buy a PDK and love it to death. Others (fewer) buy a PDK and decide it isn't for them and sell the car. Some (fewest) just won't buy PDK in the first place... Your buying the car cheap enough that you can find out for yourself which category you are in.

As for Sport Chrono, I think sport+ is kind of essential for PDK, but again, others disagree. You might talk to Cobb tuning as they released their PDK tuning software allowing more aggressive maps to be put on a non sport-chrono PDK car.

I see the car has the sport design steering wheel with real paddles... Makes a huge difference imho. I hate the standard pdk buttons, paddles are MUCH nicer.

For $48K, especially with CPO, you can't go wrong.

My base 991.1 C2 was one of the only ones I found with S/C. I LOVE, LOVE the option. I drove a base 991.2 without S/C or any performance options, and honestly I feel S/C coupled with the roaring soundtrack (especially with an X Pipe) made my car *feel* just as fast if not faster. As well, it makes PDK shifts extra insane fast. You also get dynamic engine mounts which enhances cornering. IMO the option really makes that much of a difference, especially on a .1 which shines via how aggressively it's revved and shifted.

However, good luck finding a C2 with S/C for anything near $48K.
