Default WTB early year 996

HI,

I am asking for my cousin, who is looking for a 99 or 00 996. High mileage but trouble free.
Budget is between 10K and 18K.....

If you have any leads, please PM me.

If you have an auction connection, that is your best bet for those prices. I checked Manheim before I sold my car and high mileage cars were going for like 13-15 [high mileage meaning well over 100K miles]. Under 100K will get you closer whole budget.

And, you'll pay a premium for cars in better condition, so don't expect a garage queen for $20k

My 2000 is for sale but not high mileage. just average at 75,000 miles. also not as cheap but I think 20,000 is a good price for the cars condition. The cars in those price ranges are usually pretty ragged out or over 100,000 miles.

mine has 111k (miles) I would be happy with a sale price like that (stock parts back on - seats and wheels, suspension would stay)

thing is many high milers have been traded in and then sit on lots for countless months... that is the worst thing you can do to one IMO - dealers swapping them around and in a years time they have 75 HARD MILES by every jack *** wanna be race car driver that wants to take out the new car on the lot and "see what it can do"

by from a private seller - or know the history and how long ago it was traded, make them show you....

There was one in my area for sale over a year on a "pop lot" there is no way I would have bought it after that year - it doenst mean if you buy from a great person that the car will last any longer, but if I was placing a wager, i would bet the odds are in favor of it.

Just remember, there maybe in place a new $1250.00 inspection by a Porsche stealership, before you get a recall letter by PCNA

OK, I'm looking for one too. My budget is $5.25 to $8000. I'd like to stay near the bottom range. I'd also like a winning lottery ticket, and a time machine. Would like to stay closer to the bottom of my budget, but will get close to my $8k limit for the right car.

Those that question the possibility of easily finding a sub-$18k 996 haven't been keeping up with the news lately.

nice ad, this was a good deal for someone, I liked his vids too... "and now the stuff in the back seat is all over the floor"

seems like a good guy just selling his car - what front bumper is that?
