Gents,

My brother's '04 40th anniv. edition got side-swiped by a commercial truck and is for sure totaled..

I'm trying to assist him on coming up with a fair payout value from the ins company.. We got a number that seems low to me. (big surprise, eh?)

Car had 51K miles, completely stock, and was in good condition.

I'm not up to speed on 996 pricing so would appreciate some thoughts.

I would check this site out. The guy who runs it has compiled every 40th anniversary that is for sale out there.

I would think the insurance number would be at least 35k.

Sorry for your brother....I sent you a PM.

Mid 30s seems reasonable for the car. You could make a pretty penny buying it back and parting it out.

Private Party Value- $26,152 - $31,087-50.8 Private Party Range.

Given 40AE and mileage options.

I would hold out for $36,774 or more.

So sorry to hear about your brother's 40th. I'm the guy e90steve mentioned in his comment - you and I have emailed one another about your brother's car before. I'd be happy to try to help you and him with valuation from our Registry records. I'll put my email here so you don't have to look it up. Ted (40jahre911@gmail.com).

Pretty low miles for a 40th. $30k+ for sure

As others have mentioned...I would be interested in a few parts if it does get parted. Luggage? LSD perhaps. Sport seats if it had those instead of the "comfort" seats.

Add me to the list if the car does get parted out.

e90steve

OH yeah... sports seats would def be interested in over here!

If he's looking to buyback and sell the whole thing - drop me a line. Maybe an opportunity for him to make some quick money and get it out of his hair.

996AE

Good to hear no injuries.

Sad to see another AE lost.

My buddy just totaled his 2004 C4S CAB TIP with 130k miles. Got 32k and is buying back. IMS Done and in excellent condition for a high mi P car.

I have 32k miles on my showroom conditiion, full luggage set AE.

Good to hear someone thinks these cars are appreciating after years of being part of the 996 hype worse cars P evermade story.

Thanks everyone for the input. After taking some of this data back to my brother (and subsequently the ins. company) they upped their offer by almost 9K. Needless to say, he accepted. My brother is a busy guy and travels a lot, so a quick resolution was a big factor. He was prepared to accept 33 and the offer came in a few K higher.

Sad, unfortunately, as now the car will be owned by the ins. company. Not sure where the car will end up, but based on the amount of interest from people regarding parts, I'd say there will be money to be made on that side of the transaction..

Thanks again, gents.

Nailed it.

Good luck with the car. Would like to see it put back together, and saved but sometimes not possible. Have to deal with the reality.
