W- I agree, but I would bet that prices vary with geographic location. Fortunately, I have no plans to sell my 4S. I'm still on track to drive it - BTW, any update on the 4/19 run?

Agreed, prices do vary by geography and economic conditions.
Regardless, I've now seen too many threads where cars have been advertised at a price and everyone has screamed about it being too expensive, when in fact the car has sold above the price where some pegged it.
As for the 4/19 run - all is still going ahead as planned. No change. I'll bounce the threads when I get back from Europe at the end of the week.

If I was looking for a 996, I'd buy from a Rennlister in a heartbeat. If I was selling one, Porsche people are the last place I'd look for pricing advice. Forums like this ALWAYS undervalue their cars.

Well I probably shouldn't out of respect to the new owner, but if we just keep this to ourselves, it sold for $63,995 (2004 with 55k miles, fully loaded, original sticker was $100k, and included CPO). The dealer up here said he is actually buying up cars from around the country at those low prices and bringing them up here because he has a shortage of cars! If anyone wants a contact name, pm me. I am quite pleased. I'll be back to visit and show you pics of my new Turbo. Meanwhile, don't sell out too low guys!

Yes - kudos for sure. I was also skeptical...but pleased that at least somewhere these cars are holding some value. I am keeping the faith! Good for you.
Now, if you could get them to make better coffee at Starbucks it would be a true win/win. Btw, please let me know when/if they decide to test the Clover on the East Coast. As I have about 4 Starbucks within 100 yards of my office (who doesn't) I would even bring in my own roasted / ground coffee for them to use. I am currently grooving on a special Sumatra Lintong roasted to a Full City +. Oh yeah...

1. Congratulations on the sale.
2. Congratulations on getting closer to your TT.
3. Now if the new buyer of your 996 shows-up here, we are of course going to tell them they paid too much![evilgrin](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/evilgrin.gif)
4. To the buyer - what were you thinking
(must also work at Starbucks, or Microsoft, or Boeing)

Based on what the asking/selling prices for 4S's have been, that's an incredibly great price for your car. I really think it's unrealistic for us on the East Coast to expect that kind of return, but Congratulations in any event!! and enjoy the new TT - please post pics when you get it. You've done very well.

Even state to state within the same geography can cause large variations in price. I've bought my two most recent cars in NJ because similar cars were overpriced in PA.

Congrats on the sale.....you are very very lucky and remind me never to buy a car in that area of the USA...![ooops](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/icon501.gif)
It would never ever happen here in the SE USA anytime soon, the mkt is below flat and the auction price is very close to selling price here, great for buyers, terrible for sellers.....and that is why I am saving $$$ for a very low mileage used TT in the 50k range or less. There are many many here available.

Good idea! It took me 57 days to sell. January was a bust - horrible weather up here but things are hopping up here now.
