Default Anyone know of 97' Black/Black C2 with under 15k

Hey guys, I've checked the usual- autotrader, ebay, cars.com and googled but haven't found what I'm looking for so maybe someone here knows. I'm basically looking for a 97' Black on Black C2 with 15k miles or less in MINT shape (or same car but Silver/Black). I'm putting alot down but I still want to finance some so prefer a good dealer. Anyways- thanks.

Extreme low miles mean extreme amounts of fun still left in the car.

(Unless it wasn't cared for, but that's a worry with any used car, no matter what the mileage)

I would consider 22k miles if the car is absolutely pristine. I'm not really interested in a wide body due to price. It's not that I can't afford it and the one of my dreams is here: http://www.willhoitenterprises.com/car143.htm ...I can't justify what he's asking. I have 30k and get my guard re-enlistment bonus next year (at least 15k) so I want to have the car paid off when I receive that.
Last year I was looking at a 1-owner 13k mile 97 black on black and I let it get away because the dealer was giving me high interest + **** trade on my boxster. I sold the boxster private party and got 7k more but by the time it sold that car was gone .......The price I was going to get on that was 42k and that's the ballpark I want to spend now.......

About extreme low miles, I know about seals and stuff being dryrotted but I'm sure they catch that at the PPI and I want a car that's MINT- if that means replacing seals so be it.

You're in the exact same situation as I am now. I'm about to sell my Boxster and start my hunt for a replacement. Approximately same budget as well.

When you find yours, PM me with details of the transaction and if you were able to negotiate any discount off of asking price.

Good luck

Ya, that is way overpriced. I had a deal going at a Dealer for 42k for a 1 owner black on black 97 c2 w/ 13k miles..... I was just pointing out that's the car he seems to be looking for....The price on that red one is probably negotiable....I would think that car is worth around 40k+ if it's in Great shape...

Guess what is happening...You said it...Last Year... well, what I have seen as of late is that there is a price boost for the really low mile cars. Just looking at RPM prices compared to last year, I saw a price increase! I guess its the law of supply and demand. The 993's are highly desirable, they rack in the miles as we speak and the pristine very low mile examples are getting fewer and fewer.. I would expect to pay at least in the mid 40's if not higher for a queen like that nowdays.
