Just FYI, in Reno, a 1-owner, 210k miles C2S was sold for 38.5k. It had a repaint (seemingly good one) after a very minor accident (saw pics). 20k miles ago, a 13k USD rebuild was done. It was sold in not even 12 hours, site unseen. Ask me how I know, I was booked to fly out there the day after, when the seller send me a text that I don't need to come (I was the first to call).

$50,000 for under 50,000 miles will most likely have to be a Tip..you'd have to be real lucky to find that in a manual. Now go upto $55/$60k and you can get a good clean manual

Agree with you, will be a challenge though deals do pop up from time to time and you have to act lightning quick. Same when I purchased my 98 C4S a few years ago, have to be quick on the trigger for the right car and deal.

I saw this add within a min of it posting, likely would've been first to PM seller but my brother in law passed as he would not entertain a black car period. $55K for a 18K mile 1996 C2 manual. Obviously didn't last long, but there are deals that show up out of the blue, so patience and a quick draw would be key.

This was an insane deal and i'm sure there was a run on this car. Who ever bought it could turn it around for $70,000 +

Something seems off about that 18K mile car. I don't believe it....Rebuilt at 18K? If something sounds too good to be true it usually is................

The car on BAT is gorgeously photographed.I dig the lip. Remember to add 5% to the final price. I bet it's going to bring in 40k.

Seller seemed very forthright and that he bought the car from Luxsport which wasn't in the best of conditions nor as advertized, hence why he ended up with the rebuild. There has been a lot of negative feedback on Lux so doesn't surprise me. But agree rebuild after just 18K miles, makes you wonder how this car was driven/maintained in its prior life...

They wanted $50k back in 2016. I think BAT will bring in the money with buyers premium.

I'm sorry...I love John W. of PNH, but what am I missing that comes close to justifying the ask on this car when Trissel appears to have a similar one with nearly 110k FEWER miles for a few bucks more? I am aware of Rudy but he's not Elvis or something.

I agree Doug. Selling prices for 2 comparable C2's:

97 C2 w/125kmiles: 41.5K (Sept 2016)
96 C2 w/129kmiles: 36 K (June 2017)

Maybe the "S" fell off the back..............

This car has been there for long months. It's not an s so doesn't justify the price. Judging by this I should be selling my well sorted '96 C4S with 86k miles for $100k. Replacing your 993 black seatbelts for color coordinated OEM Porsche 996 or 997s costs under $2000 including tensioners, less if tensioners are in good safe shape. This is just stupid.
