Car was a 2001 with 20K on it. Wife drove it about 10 miles a day. I have a friend that is a sales manager at a dealer and he called around to tell me what the best value he could get for the car was. I was not buying a car from him.. He was just helping me out. If you use what was said below it works out. The car in KBB was worth about 30 and the best he could get for it was 27,300... With the tax savings it was worth it to trade.

Hello Trojan Man,

This spread of values seems to be pretty accurate and
KBB pricing seems to reflect this.

KBB TRADE values as of 2/13 for an 01 996tt with 10k and not heavily
optioned are:

GOOD $77,835
Excellent $81,775

If you take 8% off of these figures you get $71,608 and $75,233.
This would be what most agree that dealers are presently giving on
TRADE.
Then if you ad in a 15% markup you get $82,349 and $86,518.
This is pretty consistent with present prices

Oh, and since this is an election year we have to say these figures
probably have an accuracy rate of +or- 4% and this puts us VERY
close to your $80k-$88k value spread.

what, like you didn't trust me?

Of course I trusted you!!.... just backing you up with some #'s.

It seems buyers always tend to think the values are to high
when they generally are in the ballpark.

I bought my 01 996TT last September for $82k. It was in perfect condition, with 10,300 miles, lowere supensions and Gemballa Competition wheels. otherwise stock.
