Default Selling my '03 Turbo X50

Well it's been fun while it lasted but it's time to sell my Porsche, I've just got too many cars. It's a 2003 Meridian Silver Coupe 6-speed with a Cinnamon Brown interior. It has the X50 power package, Lumbar Support Right/Left, 6 CD Changer, Porsche Crest Headrests, Metal Doorsills, Aluminum Dials, Alum/Leather Shifter/Brake Handle, Leather Sun Visors, Leather Center Console, and Black Deviating Carpet. The car was $143,265 new and I'm the original owner.

The car has 40K miles on it and the only mod has been a short shift kit when I first got the car. I'd guess the condition in very good, but not perfect shape. It doesn't look like an 8 year old car for sure as it's spent most of it's life in a garage and babied with only hand washes. It has new brakes, new tires, and a like new interior.

I'm asking $60,000 due to the condition, low miles, and many options. Please reply or PM me if interested. I live in Tarpon Springs, FL.

Thanks,
Brian

Love the color. Especially the leather.

60K might be a little high, but it is unique and the right buyer might be willing to pay that. I paid 52k with similar mileage and CPO two months ago. It's an 04 cab and list price was $138 and change.

That might give you a benchmark of sorts.

Beautiful car. I'm sure the right buyer will find those options unique enough to pay a premium. GLWS!

Like the Artic on the cinamon brown leather, very nice. I know that doesn't help! :-)

Yeah, and I want to be a millionaire too. It's incredible that people think a $150K car with 40,000 miles on it is worth less than $50K...

Do these cars have full leather inside and optioned out to $150K? Don't know, but if you wanted to rag on my car and price you should have done it in a private message instead of on the forum.

Brian, do you have your car listed on Autotrader and Cars.com?

One owner cars command a premium. All the extra leather in your interior added up on the MSRP. Do you have your build sheet?

Goodl luck with your sale.
