There are several issues with the car. First, with 12,000 miles the car hasn't given the owner an opportunity to discover issues with the car,--thus, you can't state that there are no warranty issues. Bottom line,--the issues will soon be yours instead of his. It's out of warranty. Second, CHROME wheels on a Porsche? Are you in South Florida? Otherwise, a bit excessive.

Your idea of pricing is a lot more realistic than his. Here's a price point for you.--a buddy of mine who buys Porsches like some people change their underwear just bought a beautiful 996 C4S Cabriolet (2004) for $45,000 yesterday. Sadly, a 2000 car is a 9-year old car today. The "special edition' aspect of the car is not a factor for a car that isn't that special in the first place. There are plenty of 996s out there. Today's a buyer's market and your cash has the best purchasing authority than ever before. Don't throw it away.

 

FYI Millennium is the proper spelling. Not Mellinium.

 

Are you implying that I own this car? Give me a break! And if I did own this car, I know better than to ask this question on this site! My reason for the post was to help my friend obtain additional information which he could use to help negotiate a more reasonable price.

It's Christmas...maybe change your screen name to "happy puppy" for perhaps one month?

 

And thanks everyone for your feedback. I especially agree with Edgy01 on every point made. My 01 996 has a new engine replaced by me after 57K miles. Likely due to track use anyway.

 

I think he meant that your price was closer to reality than the owner...

 

OK maybe I am a little touchy for a Monday morning. Thanks!

 

Yikes I would hate to be long one of those and have it marked on my books at 45k. As has been mentioned I believe the real price is closer to 30 to 33k tops tops tops. My 4 tick wide market is 29/33 in that thing.

 

Alex, that car is a low 30's car and the owner should be counting his lucky stars to get anything in the high 20's or better. If it was my car, I would offer it at about 33K and take the first 25K+ that comes my way. It's a sad state for ANY luxury item these days.

BTW, are you still doing member days? Looking forward to seeing you soon

Hey LV. No on the Member Days as I de membered in July from VIR. I will still be doing DE in 2009. Also, I intend to participate in the NASA event in February where I expect to get my Comp license and perhaps see you at some Club Racing events next year.

Have you bought Terry's car yet? I know it would be a good fit for you! Good to hear from you and have a great Christmas.

 

Thanks trader220 I agree totally with your price range.

I decided that Terry's car was not the way to go for me. GTB needs to be larger before I would consider making the jump. G is a fantastic class with great drivers so I am going run there for the foreseeable future.

No more DE's for me. I decided to do races and member days for practice. If I do the PCA DE's it will be with my region so I can support them as well as offer my instruction.
