according to this chart my price point is $44,750 !

I like math.

I am close to pulling the trigger on a 3 owner, meticulously maintained '96 993 in iris blue. Coupe. manual.
Only thing that concerns me: over 130,000 miles.
Is paying upper 50s too much?
Does the high mileage concern anyone? (not high by normal driving standards by any means)

Here’s my take on mileage: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/999128-low-vs-high-mileage-993-and-maintenance.html#post14314786

It’s on the high side. Cool color. Would need to be pretty special and pretty perfect to command that price. Most 993s of that mileage, in good shape, will be in the 40s.

Unless the market has moved while I wasn’t watching.

Exactly my thoughts as well. I was hoping for 40s as well. Initial asking price is low 60s. I figured having a well maintained driven car with higher mileage is better but I don't want to pay a premium ($8-9K?) though for it.

This iris car has been well spoken for earlier in this thread. Like a month plus earlier. You can contact original owner OPO, RL handle and talk about this car. From what I've read it was very welltaken care of but a NB 993 plus accesories at that mileage should not command more than $50k max. Find out how much dealer paid for it and take it from there. If you really like it then go for it. Seat time is wrth the extra $8k in my opinion. I rather a high mileage well maintained car than a low mileage me hanically neglected one. Good luck and share your outcome please!

Here's the lastest C2/C4 sales price data base to use as a guide. Draw your own conclusions but upper 50's is too high IMHO.

So on serious intent to consider an out of my state '98 C2S with factory turbo S aero kit: $37k miles allegedly. CarFax shows prior accident history in 2000, unverified extent of damage by seller. I had a proper PPI done 2 days ago and results came back with oil leaks from chain tensioner and valve covers (engine drop needed to fix), cracked belts, power steering leaks, 2 bad shocks and 10 year old tires among other minor stuff. No compression test done. I offer the gentleman 3 purchase options:

1.- Cash purchase for $11K under his final asking price prior to PPI. Original asking price is $14K above my offer.
2.- Alternative to have transaction done through dealer that performed the PPI and I would cover dealer fee and others, and have PPI repairs done at the same location.
3.- Straight trade for one of my cars and I would cover local PPI costs and cost of car shipping to his state.
4.- Regardless of agreement on any of the above or not I offer to reimburse for the cost of the PPI done which he had to pay the dealer upfront.

Result: He replies sending me to hell in a hand basket.

What am I missing here? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts as I am left SMH.

What is his asking price? How bad are the oil leaks? Minor seeping is not worth an immediate engine drop, for instance.

This all has to do with his asking price. If the seller, in his mind, has already priced his car for any irregularities, then you have insulted him. Did you get an written proposal to what the actual cost were to make the car 100% and did you show him this expense. Was the car already priced accordingly for the accident? If it were my car, and I had priced these items into my selling price, I would tell you to take a hike. If I was unreasonable with my price to begin with, you should have recognized that and known that I wouldn't be that flexible on and offers.
