Default Value of 03 manual speed yellow w/aero kit

Back in market for 996 turbo after a year. Prices seem to be all over the place since I’ve last looked.

What is the value of 03 speed yellow with aero kit 49k miles, painted sport backs manual? unknown service history the car is at a dealer.

Dealer is asking $70k.

Yellow with factory aerokit is highly desirable. Lots that can be wrong with a car even at 49k miles, but if no stories (of course that's a big if), I don't think the dealer's ask is far off where people would be happy to buy it. I could definitely see it going in the 60s on BaT.

Any update?? I searched forever for manual 6TT in Speed Yellow, and as CC mentions the good ones get a massive premium; if you can get there first

Just look at what happened to the previous Turbo generations in yellow. Its quite a phenomenon

What’s funny, when I purchased my new 2003, dealers couldn’t sell a speed yellow Porsche even at deep discounts back then. Arctic silver was popular in high demand. I guess time changes everything.

Nobody wants to drive up to work in a new yellow Porsche. But everyone wants to pull a classic yellow Porsche onto the lawn at Pebble Beach.

Time certainly does change everything. IE the desirability of a yellow 911 is directly proportional with its age, and after a few decades tends to go intergalactic.

Car was purchased for the premium. It was sold before I had a chance to look. the buyer bought sight unseen and didn’t like the aero kit so I was able to purchase. Feels good to be back in a 6TT
