C4S993

Hi, This car (Ebay 230601083140) is not too far from me in Pa and I was wondering what you guys think it's worth ? From the pics the tires look needing replacing and I would assume the shocks could be worn (at 44k miles ?). There must be a list of must-dos when one buys any high miles 911.

Thanks,

Patrick

Seems like a very, very high price and I would also expect brand new tires for that kind of money.

That isn't necessarily high mileage. I got 57K on mine, but it all comes down to how it has been treated.

Mileage not high at all. Condition is the key point. Go check it out if its close and base you price on tires, brakes, engine maintenance records.

The hardest part buying from a online dealer ids that most likely he just picked the car up at the Manheim auction and doesn't really know jack about it. He can extrapolate from the Carfax report that it was 1 owner, no REPORTED accidents, etc. but without seeing the car you're just rolling the dice.

It's interesting that it has a lightweight flywheel, not something most street enthusiasts would be inclined to install. Worn tires, and brakes are also inconsistent with a enthusiast's car. Bet there's holes under the carpet from the roll bar that was removed. I will say that the drive train is pretty indestructable no matter how it was driven.....

I'd ask the seller/dealer for Porsche's maintaince report....

CS993, i have my car for sale that has the same miles, with a bunch of add on's. it has been well cared for and i just had a PPI and dyno test done to confirm it's condition. it's not perfect but what is the point of watching your garage queen depreciate? you might have interest in it or it will give you a point of reference. no accidents, no stories, no bull**** from a fellow RL'r

here is the ad. i'm asking 53K or best reasonable offer:

Clean but not garage queen 04 GT3. Lots of upgrades (but not over the top) well cared for 43K mile history. Mostly long distance commuting miles by the original owner in TX. Professionally maintained by PCNA Dealers or by top Indie shops. Occasional DE days. Porsche TE Cage, seats, BBS wheels in add'n to stock set, PS2's and 888's, , Pagid pads, suspension bushing upgrades,Rennline pedal set, center console delete, RMS done under warranty. No accidents, no stories, priced to sell, not to sit. Selling as i just don't use the car enough and these cars are meant to be driven, not to sit around.

lots of pictures here, I hope not too many. I did not hide any of the flaws as they are from normal careful use. if you can't get the picture link to work email me and i will send it to you directly. t.ross@northwestreps.net. sorry for any issues.

Bought my 6GT3 last year with 83k miles. $44k. Tracked twice last year and in 10 months only changed oil, brake, trans fluid. Going for more Track days this year after I just installed roll bar, harness just this month.
These cars seem solid but only way to determine worthiness is to drive them. This eBay deal could cost you dearly unless you can PPI. Don't worry about miles but on the same token use it to negotiate a sweet deal. Good luck!

I offered him $46k and he turned me down ! I guess he thinks he will get over $50k.

joeycannoli

I think he should get low 50's for that car. It is hard to come up with an opinion on price by looking at it on the internet. Car could have been extremely well maintained or it might need a laundry list of items once you pick it up. As others have said you are rolling the dice. I personally don't consider 44k to be high miles, but others might very well feel that way.

tlarocque

I'd want to see that car in person and have a thorough PPI. Looks like its seen the track (not a big deal IF it was properly maintained) but you would want to make sure no hidden damage and that none of the wear parts are in need of replacing. If it checked out but NOT having service/maintenance documentation, I can't see paying much more than $50k. As has been mentioned above, miles aren't really that big of a deal but the question is... how well was it maintained?

I would much sooner have Tracy's car above with known history and nice extras.

joeycannoli

^ Yeah, Tracy's car is a good deal. Wish he was selling his before i bought mine

ace996

I believe that's Phokioglakos's car, or his name is similar. He's selling a DAS sport roll-bar that was in that car. Perhaps you can contact him regarding the car and ask him about it's history/maintenance.

....or, as I'm also looking for a car....
