I've been looking for a C2, non turbo, auto, cab within a 200-300m radius of PHX and haven't found anything around the $30k price with tolerable miles. Did find an early 2000 for $35k with 29k miles, but dealer won't let me take it for independent PPI. There are a load in the $40-$50k range, but nothing much under that.

There's another thread talking about 'Prices hitting new lows' but even if I expand my search to nationwide its a very limited choice. Problem is you Porsche types actually drive your cars! When I was Ferrari shopping it was rare to see anything much over 20k miles-just have to change my mind set.

Great forum and great place to learn, a general thanks to all for the excellent education on my new passion.

$20k+ was high anyway. A 1999 and a 2000 sold on EBAY last month for $23,500 and $23,600 with 33,200/37,000 miles. Both had hardtops. Both looked very nice. Tracking sold EBAY auctions is the best way to get a feel for pricing for us average joes.

The car is very nice, but I am afraid to take the risk and have to buy another engine.
The owner thinks I am going on with the purchase!
I let him know I am very sad , but the PPI does not make me confortable.

Is it Nephrite Green with matching interior and wood package?

Peter, your not going to find a pristine 996 with over 100K miles for a cheap price. You need to look for lower mileage, higher price, or lower your expectations of what a 14 year old car with 100K+ miles is going to be.

Do you have a link to this car so other can look at it?

Seal gray, light gray interior with full carbon package. Light mods, with all OEM parts in boxes. Trans recently rebuilt to fix 2nd gear issue.




Prices do go up in the springtime.

The owner of that car is firm on the price and in denile about the problem .
Otherwise the car is GOOD.
Still looking.
