Default pricing guidance

I am thinking about selling my C4S Cabriolet and moving up to a Turbo 996. I would love to get some thoughts on prices.

2004 C4S Cabriolet
Seal Grey/Black
Clean Carfax
I am the 4th owner and have had it for 2 years. It's my DD but my commute is less then 8 miles on PCH/Canyons.
Stock
Full Leather
PSE
Bose Upgrade/Disc Changer
Air Deflector
All service records
Exterior is 9/10 - other then the front valiance
Interior is a 8.5 out of 10. Scuffs on the door sills and a few scuffs on the center console.
56,000
up to date on all service
RMS/Clutch done @ 35,000 miles
Brakes @ 50,000
Water Pump @ 50,000
Alternator/Battery @ 52,000
Fresh Tires (Sumitomos)

Any thoughts here? I have a number in mind but don't want to influence anyone. The car is in LA - and has been in So Cal it's entire life.

+1 if you actually want to sell it. Go 30's if you enjoy running ads on a long term basis. Sounds like a very nice car. GLWS and happy tt hunting!

That car should bring $29,000 to $33,000 depending on demand and timing.
Banks will book the car out at $34,000 still, so its easy for someone to get financed... seems that determines who comes looking at them.

$33k should sell pretty easily given, WB vert, options, color, mileage, location. If you find the right buyer than maybe even $35k. Personally I haven't seen too many WB cab models that were low mileage, seal gray, and manual making it somewhat more exclusive in the market place IMO.
