I think it is priced where with some shrewd negotiation it could end up being a deserving top of the market priced car.
I tend to agree. A low mile Aero car that’s been well-kept should command at least mid to high 20’s in my completely biased opinion.

I have a similar car with a few more miles, but it was something like 34K miles when I got it, was $22K. I'm going to say it's not going to sell at $32K.

It would be nicer and better looking with the center radiator.

That one has been trying to sell for some time. Something is not right with it I guess? Saw it once on the street, personally did not like the "wrap" from a distance (@ 20ft away).

What, you mean take pictures outside the garage, take pictures of the engine, close ups of the front bumper, and vacuum the interior first?
That would just be too much effort.


A while back someone posted only one picture of their 996 on local Craigslist and it was in a dark 1 car garage covered with stuff.
No info.
I emailed them and it took them forever to respond.
High mileage and overpriced.
Also it was a long distance from Houston in a tiny town.
I’m about 25 miles from the center of Houston and people think I’m way too far to travel to, but they were about 60 miles farther than me.
I’m sure they didn’t have many people willing to drive that far to look at it.
It was listed for a long time.
I’m sure they never sold it and it is still probably sitting in their garage.

In my general experience people are just awful when it comes to selling their car. I generally try to go out of my way to make transactions as smooth and easy as possible but that seems foreign to most people. I once looked at an e46 M3 that was being sold on consignment. Wasn't inspected, rear tires shot and a few minor things. Guy wasn't willing to negotiate at all and his price was just okay but it wasn't exactly confidence inspiring he wouldn't spend $500-700 to get new rear tires and inspection done. I've looked at so many where people don't even bother to clean up trash, like fast food bags and the like out of their cars.

It blows me away what people /realtor put up on Web site to sell homes. I saw one and I swear there was someone lying under the cover on the bed. My realtor friend says she has shown a house and a teenager was still in bed when she announced herself. Said he pulled the cover over his head and acted like they weren't there. Or the house that had 8 cats, but AD specifically says Never had pets/Kids. WTF

My wife has been looking at house for past year, and Sundays its usually open house day. If the place is dump I won't even get out to go look. But on the flip side I'm sure everyone has a area in town that sells like ice water in hell, Houses don't even go on MLS in some cases.
To me, if home sell in hours, you didn't ask enough.

Pretty sure if you google VIN he was an active member on Porsche Forums: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd...882728482.html

Targa: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/c...872208610.html

Carrera 4: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto...885164593.html

Love the color on this on: https://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/...878072761.html

OK, if you could choose one which and why.

You're trying to compare apples and oranges.

True, but I think they all have some appeal over each other. Curious as to why Targa's never seem to get any love, I think I seen something they production wise they are rare than Twin Turbos. But you're right on the apples to oranges, just thought this could be an interesting topic from those with experience.

none of those are cars I would really go after unless the price was great.
