rocks991s

Hi
Been awhile since I've posted so had to re-register cause I forgot my original user name and password.

So anyway...the lease on my 2012 C2s is up in a couple of weeks and I'm looking to upgrade a bit to a much lower mileage 991.
I've located a couple of 2013 C2s' that intrigue me.

One is white/agate full leather, platinum wheels, prem package, pdcc, PDK, Bose, 14 way seats, sports chrono, etc. Basically everything but PSE. 11,000 miles. Asking price $89.9

Second car is silver with black/platinum leather, optioned pretty much like the white one but has premium plus package but no pddcc. Just under 15k miles. Asking price $88.5.

Both cars are CPO'd to late fall of 2018.
I would have to travel for both cars but that's not a problem.

Any thoughts on their asking prices?
High, low, or just right?

Thanks!

Well OK...zero responses. That's alright. I don't post much but I do lurk a lot.
Anyway, I have owned numerous 911's over the years, including a 1972T, 1984 factory turbo look (still have), 1995 carerra, 1997TT, 1999, 2001TT, 2012 991 and whatever my next one might be. In between the 911's were a 914, 928 and a couple of Boxsters, so I am somewhat familiar with the brand, but by no means an expert.

So I was just wondering what would be a decent offer on the vehicles listed in my post above. I'm thinking $84-86K would be fair, but then again, my negotiating skills pretty much leave a lot to be desired.
Thanks again.

Original MSRP?? Can't give advice without the facts.

Have 2013, CPO, and miles already.

Those are fair asking prices.

Thanks for the replies.
Not sure of the MSRPs. My 2012 listed for $120K and comparing the option list to my car I'd hazard a guess the two cars listed around $126 or so.

I would agree,....most I have seen with lower miles and some more options are in the low 90's, so these with over 10k miles in the high 80's sound about right.

Good luck with the hunt....

Cool! Lay a pic of your M491 on us!

Bought the car back in 1994. It's black on black and is completely original.
I'll see if I can get a picture or two for you. It's a car that will stay in the family for as long as a family member remains breathing!

Back when I was a kid, and had never even driven a Porsche, I always thought how sad it would be to own a widebody nonturbo Carrera. All the look, and none of the muscle to back it up I thought. Then one day many years later I got a chance to actually drive a 930. It's then that I realized the widebody M491 Carrera might be the best 1980s 911 there is. At least for regular street driving. The spool-up time on the big turbo, combined with the very widely spaced four-speed box, makes for a challenging and in my opinion less than enjoyable ride. Great on the track or in spirited drives in the mountains, where you can always plan your need for power and get on the throttle with plenty of time to spare. But not a great road car.

By contrast, a standard Carrera is a joy to drive, with a very responsive and adequately powerful engine that has a lot of torque which can be accessed quickly and easily. Add that to the amazing, overpoweringly sexy, iconic widebody of the turbo, and you've got a keeper for sure!

Here's a couple of the photos of turbo-look and my 427 Cobra replica. That's my nephew in the photo.
The other photos also show my 2001 996TT and a friends C6 Corvette. These photos are from about 2007 at my brothers home when he lived in ND. Still have the turbo-look and the Cobra. Both cars have been relocated to Delaware. The Cobra is with my nephew and the Porsche with my brother, as they need stuff to drive to.



Here's the one I should have kept. 1997 993TT with 27K miles. Paid $72K for it in 2002.
Still kicking myself for letting that one go. Damn!

Thanks for looking. By the way, the Cobra is painted, in what else, Guards Red!
