Guys, I have spent some time on the 993 side of the house, and think I have decided I need the creature comforts of a 996. They have a thread that lists prices paid, date, options, etc., with pics. Do we have anything like that over here? Yes, tried the search, but nothing came up. If there isn't one, should we start one?

As many people are waiting for the Excellence pricing report, I thought we could start our own. I am borrowing this format from the 993 forum, who borrowed it from the 964 forum. Please make sure to include pics. Once we get a critical mass of data, I'll compile it in excel and post for everyone to use. Just copy and past this into your response and add your data. Here we go...

A lot of recent purchaser's so you should be able to get some good responses.
Bought mine too long ago to be relevant now.

Welcome!

I stole mine --- err wait, I mean I drove it like I stole it

fpena944

Mine was already listed on the Excellence market report!

Graufuchs

Low 20's 3months ago....w/Fabspeed stg1 and Aero. Purchased from a wealthy guy who made some real estate moves that went sour.

Lots of variables when it comes to pricing. Who you are buying from (Dealer, eBay, CarMax, Car.com, Craig's List...), year, color, options, condition, service records, repairs needed, shipping costs, time of the year, current economy, financing available.... Start by checking KBB.com, and the sales outlets I mentioned earlier. This might get you in the ball park. Then continue to monitor pricing and what cars sold for. When I contacted people and they had sold the car, I asked them what they sold it for.

I'm curious to see what this years Excellence 996 market report says.

fpena944

On mine I remember the comments they made included, "Lots of miles on the car but a great price and it shows just how low 996 prices are going."

But yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the overall report says this year.

I do notice that there are still some sellers who are oblivious to what the market around them is showing and try to sell their cars for $10k+ what all others are going for.

Very high 20's 2 years ago for a bone stock C4 Aero. Reason for selling to me was his 997 TT had arrived.

ATL Fahrer

High 30's for a low mileage '03 C4S in January of this year.

soverystout

yup yup.

When I was looking for my car, there was a local women who was selling the car for her husband because he was lazy and really didn't want to part with it.

it was a 99 arena red C2 6spd coupe with saddle interior and almost no options. It even had 17 inch wheels and a casette deck to give you an idea.
She was the 2nd owner. Picked it up from the local P-car dealer after the orginal owner had it for a year.

it had 21k on the car, had the RMS previously replaced and sat for really long period of time in the garage. She described the tires as "nearly new". They were Michelin pilots that were installed 5 years ago!

The interior smelled like only mold was living in it.
She wanted $32k firm! Needless to say I left that dog where it slept. This was June of last year.

You got a great deal for $27k...a steal even.

That is a good buy! In this economic climate sellers should to consider how many serious buyers are in the market versus supply. If you want to move your car at the price you deem to be correct, how long would you have to wait for that buyer and depreciation the car will take during that time.

Sometimes, its better to take the $2K hit right off the bat and move on. Enjoy the replacement instead of dealing with the extra car.

The new owner should come on Rennlist and ask the us how to spend all of the savings wisely and quickly.
