It looks like a Porsche! A 1999 with a 3.6L engine for $46,900? I thought 3.6 didn't come out until 2002. Even though it has only 8,800 miles, the price is waaaaaay to high. Hell, I've got a 2004 C2 Coupe I'll sell you for "only" $58,000.

I just did a quick search on AutoTrader and found a total of 73 996's, 1999 Model Year with Tip, most however were C2 cars. The High price was $51,900 (it was a Cab), the Low price was $24,999 and the Average price was $35,999.

Personally, I would pass on this one!

I bought my cab tip 99 for 42K about 1 1/2 yrs ago...mileage was not low...but low mileage with older cars is not always that great I think.....mine had 55K and now has 69K.....knock on wood...no problems whatsoever.

but $51K for a 99 cab.....is wishful thinking!!

Yes they did, as Hwk72 posted ^. In my AutoTrader search I saw a Blue '99 C4 Cab with a Tip.

Got it now.
Then it was the 993 C4 that wasn't available with Tip?

Could be... but to be honest, I know very little about the 993 because I have no experience with them. I do like the "lines" of the 993 though.

This Porsche is almost a dupe of mine, xcept mine is a 02 c4 cab, black on black w/ 18kmiles (no aero kit). I paid $45k.

Thats way too much

Also, I remember seeing a post where you can check the VIN to see if it was a salvage from the Hurricane, not that i'm saying that one is.
