That seems right on.

That car, in cabriolet would be 10K more, which is about what my car is worth.

Buying from the dealer is great peace of mind, I'm assuming it comes with the extended warranty.

Good luck!

Both of those prices seem out of line.

please considerthe 997 C4.
comparable 3.6, starting from 77,100 - 5% discount if you want to work with some dealership in remote area.
fom what i heard ovr the 997 borad, 997 C4 is big improvement over 996 c4

Big improvement? Don't believe everything you read. I drove the 997 (C2, not 4) before I bought my 996. 997 is better, but not that much better. What is way better, however, is the bang for the buck with a 996. Besides, besides those of us who are seriously afflicted, who can tell the difference?

The C4S is a different car than the base 994 C4.

My car was $110,000 new, in 2 years it's worth about $80K that's about right.

My experience from a few months ago is that $70k would have been a good price for a CPO dealer car (assuming no damage). At that time, the only C4S's below 70k were from private sellers or unusually high mileage cars. The mileage is a little higher than the average '04 but not not by much.

That's right in the ballpark, those wheels were a 4k option, hollow spoke sport technos, just like mine! SG is an awsome color on a C4S, it's waay better than a base-*** 997 c4.
For comparison, a doc friend has a '03 C4S AS/Blk, carbon/alum everything, 9k miles garage queen, he's been trying to sell it for months now at 67k. I say try to talk them down a bit then seal the deal so to speak!

it's not a ridiculous starting price in my humble opinion, but i think there's room to negotiate, i wouldnt be a retail buyer for that car at anything over 62 or 63
