If I am looking for a car, with cash in hand, I bypass For Sale adds such as this because I have better things to do with my time, than to try to bring sellers with such lofty aspirations, back to reality.
$10k over normal pricing is not worth my time, effort, or a second glance.

I understand your thought process, but dont necessarily agree.

they buy 996s if they are looking for lowest cost of entry, and 997s if they want prestige and such.

Good luck with the sale, you have seen the comments on pricing but it's your car so its your price to ask. Good luck!
Cheers,

I went the other way. I sold my 2006 Cayman S over a year ago and started the long search for a 993. I loved having a Porsche but the Cayman S was depreciating fast and that would only accelerate when the newer model came out(this may be wrong given the price of new Cayman S's). I wanted something I could use relatively lightly that wouldn't depreciate so fast but still felt special when taken out. In the end the 993 gets a level of love that's hard to fathom from the public at large. I have gotten pulled over for speeding and was given a warning which was a relief. On the not great side, I was pulled over when not speeding just for the officer to take a look at the car. People ask about it all the time at gas stations or car parks. It's hard to explain how special it feels compared to a Cayman S.

I sold my '87 911 two years ago and put a stong price of $27k on it. It was in very good shape mechanically and cosmetically, but it was no cream puff. Did I think it would fetch that - nope. Did people tell me I was nuts - yes. Did I get numerous offers of 10k less - yes. Did the car sell for my full asking price - yup.
My thought pattern was this - I wanted a 993. I put a price on my '87 that I could live with. If it sold - great. If it didn't - well that's great too. I loved the car and the only way I was going to get rid of it was if I could get a strong price to help me jump to a 993.
