to- 911F1 and others
The white '96 C4S currently listed above for sale in WA is deja vue..
I purchased my C4S 4 1/2 years ago from a respected Porsche guy in Portland, a "car stereo buff". Car is/was terrific, as represented. He proudly showed the "$2,000+ monster stereo system" he installed, a mirror of what's in the white car. Kenwood dash unit, an led light show, and an intrusive large Extant amplifier permanently mounted to the back trunk wall. 10-large gauge wires going from that unit, cuts in the carpet. Octopus for sure. Good sound, though.
Several frustrating hours at Rothsport to get it all out. I repaired the carpet. Market value of the Extant- maybe $50- donated. Similar for the dated Kenwood..
Fister III's are the current sound system; and a correct dash unit purchased from Ilko looks good- rarely used.

Setting a realistic price
I am going to put my 993 on the market. I have been researching the various sites PCA recommends. Seems the NADA guide is well established.
Last thing I want to do is post with an unrealistic price... Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

I was able to get the option detail from the VIN on https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche/19208/
You can see a couple of photos here as well. I have since removed the Valentine radar detector and the GPS.
You can also see from my posts here some of the things I have done:
Bilstein PPS10's
Fister stage 2 mufflers
Dallas steering wheel
Audio upgrade - I have photos. Very clean install not a mess of wires.
Car has been well maintained. - Initially by Bob Grigsby, RMG in Sunnyvale, then San Carlos German Motor Works.
Replaced the front seats as they were wearing... Got some beauties from Einmalig.
Replaced the dash with a leather dash from a Turbo. Also from Einmalig.
I am the second owner, purchased from Carlson Porsche in Palo Alto. 1998

Does it really have ~151k miles? Wow, looks like you enjoyed it. Bravo! Used as intended.
As for value, in my experience, you have an outlier. On the one hand, looks like a great car with great options and mods (though I am hardly qualified to comment on mods); on other hand...it's got over 150k miles. Many would say it's just getting started. Others would say there are better values (i.e. bang for buck) elsewhere.
Although probably not too helpful, I would peg value in the range of $40k-$60k, depending upon finding just the right buyer. Even the low end of that range implies you scored big on cost per mile.
Thoughts J or J?

Don't know if you saw this chart posted earlier. Unfortunately, highest data point is 105K miles. I'm fairly certain the curve flattens out at the high end but until I get some sales up there, it's a just a guess. I'd say you're looking at 50ish. When it sells, be sure to let us know.
