Here is a search on all 2002-2005 identified as C4S on Autotrader, coupe only: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...&firstRecord=0
35 cars listed, somewhat surprising the see the quantity with asking price in the $30-$35K range, or even above $40K. Seems like this is about a $5K increase on average compared to when I was shopping 1.5 years ago, maybe the word is out, these things are soooooo darn good. Mileage seems to be the number one influence on asking price.

There are some private party here on Rennlist, sparsely on Craigslist. Autotrader is mostly dealers, but there are some private parties there too. Finding a no-story C4S coupe is not as easy as I originally thought it would be. Lots of dealers are asking just simply way too much for what they have.

Seems like the turbo might be a better buy compared to a high priced C4S.

[QUOTE=cmoody127;15352718]Meanwhile this turbo sold for $36k... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-911-turbo-39/
This car is now owned my Tyler Hoovie of Hoovies garage youtube channel. The same guy that just blew up his 911 LS swap and Ferrari burnt to the ground. He's known for buying the cheapest cars. Watching some of his videos will show you the results of buying the "cheapest car in the US"

Interesting post. I too am kicking around the idea of a 996 C4s after coming to the conclusion that my ‘88 is too nice to track hard. It is refreshing to see how the prices have stabilized / increased (?) over the past few years.
In my mind (where truth and reality seldom prevail apropos Porsche) I’m thinking a nice, sorted, low mile example in the mid 30’s may loose 5K if drivin 8-10K per year over the next few years. That’s a hell of a buy. What other p-car can you do that with right now? So, I am seriously interested in this thread, and real world purchase prices.
This one is for sale near me: https://www.udriveautomobiles.co/veh...6e1145a8f35bde
$39.9 is certainly top dollar but, as this thread has discussed, there are not easy to find in this condition. A solid point regarding this car is that the trans was dropped, the rms was replaced by Porsche but not the IMS.

To the OP, keep searching and I’m sure something will come up that fits the bill for you!
