what do you think a fair price would be for this lovely cab:

Tough to say, as Victory always seems to hold out for top dollar. One thing I didn't see mentioned in the ad is that the roof appears to have holes from the roof pins. I think Victory and a lot of dealers use Ebay more for advertising - they have high reserves and do their real selling over the phone. I'd say $32K if the roof isn't in bad shape.

they are looking for 35.5k (buy it now/reserve), wanted to know if that was too much

You should assume that whatever price a dealer is asking for a car is too much.

I also would assume the car is not as nice as the photo's make it look.

$35.5k from a dealer would be a fair price if there are no stories and with clean PPI. I'd budget an additional $1500-2000 for a new top if one is needed.

There's also a C4 cab with sport seats and 8K more miles for $33K on ebay and that's the buy it now price. There seems to be a glut of cabs on the market right now.

By the way I was shocked at how much demand and how high the prices were at the Manhiem dealers auction yesterday on 993's.

can anyone identify the exhaust on this car?

NVRANUF

It has a Motorsound air box, identified by the chrome lip, but it doesn't have a 159 Motorsound code identified on the Code Option Tag. I would suspect it doesn't have the complete Motorsound option.

Here is what it has, as best as I can readfrom the image on Ebay.

Code Option Description
233 Original tires, Pirelli
329 Radio - ?
398 Left outside mirror - electric - plain [Prior to 1996]
398 17 " 5-Spoke Wheels (P205/50ZR17 front, P225/40ZR17 rear) [1996]
398 18" Technology Design Wheels [1997]
437 Comfort seat left
454 Automatic speed control

Ricky_nu: Are you actively pursuing a purchase or just checking the market prices?

ricky_nu

pursuing, in particular an arena red cab

Nice color! Definitely one of my favorites. However, when I was searching I couldn't say no to Metallic black.

bummer called today to start lining up inspection etc, the car was sold for $1,500 over wht I could have had it for (had I pounced a day earlier), bummer!

Ricky, don’t despair there will always be another around the corner shortly. I have called Victory on several cars over the past 12 months and every one of them was “just sold” yet remains on their web site for weeks and months. I really liked that 89 Speedster in blue they still have on their website yet told me was sold more then a month ago. Good luck in your hunt.
