Today I finally tracked a guy who owns a GR/black 1996 C2 I had seen driving around my neighborhood. He's owned it since new and it has about 95k on the clock, so well enjoyed. He said he's put about $40k into it, including a relatively recent top-end job.

He said he might be interested in selling it...IF none of his kids want it...or his P-car mechanic.

He said the paint is all original except the driver-side door, which he had to replace because of a snafu in his garage. He's also replaced the door straps.

Any sense of value?

This is a Wide Body thread ??? There is a separate NB thread as well for your post or do you mean C2S?

  • Black Leather Upholstery

IMO sport seats are the most underrated, and under valued, differentiator between cars.
Nice result...could be the start of a new up swing.

I don't get it. This variant sold for $201,993 on 3/31/23 (21,000miles)
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...ra-s-coupe-14/

While this one sold for $157,000 on 6/21/23 (59,000 miles)
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...carrera-4s-16/

That's a difference of $44,993. Yes, there is a mileage difference, but the first one still has 21,000 miles and no US history.

Is a sunroof delete and 38k miles really a delta of $45k?

Personally, I don’t consider replacing the rear bumper skin in the same category as damage to the car’s structure or body. I’m sure some will. I think this pursuit of automotive perfection is going to be regretted 5-10 years from now. This wouldn’t change my bid in the least. Just my opinion.

Totally agree here. I bought a perfect 993 C4 Cabriolet 1996 in Atlanta and shipped it to Germany.
The carfax said it had an accident. It turned out the owner hit a piece in his garage. The right fender was repainted, that was it.

Agree 100% but will eliminate 50% of the buyers out there just because of the CarFax Ding.

True, that was my luck. The day I bought the car back in November 2010, the PC had just dropped the price from 34 K to 30 K due to the last day in November.

I drove it for six months and sold it to a collector.
It had almost all options, grand prix white on grey full leather includi d the dash.
It's probably worth double of what I sold it for.
