I think most of us would think 16k is low. Ideally spread out over the 20+ years so it didn't sit unused for years at a time.

 

Just saw this posted on Facebook.

 

I've also been surprised at how many low-mile examples we've seen lately -- but I suppose it makes sense that we'd see them come out of the woodwork after values have finally risen. Values for "non-prestige" 996TT's had appeared flat for a while.

 

Vehicle is sold pending funds. Thanks all

gonna be a doozy

 

so clean, Graphite Grey interior with no sport seats though...

 

I think that based on one's physical build sport seats are a negative. They at least are for me.

 

Carbon buckets aren't comfortable or convenient, but they're the best for resale

Personal preference is another topic

 

Not if a buyer doesn't like the seats.

Isn't personal preference a large part of the purchase decision?

 

Doesn't seem to be the criteria for buyers today who based their decisions on resale or collectability

 

I agree 100%. But I recognize that sport seats are one of the sought after features by this generation of buyers. Three of my cars have sports seats with extended bolsters. Two do not have sports seats. I go through an added effort to lift myself up and over the outside bolster when I drive the cars with sports seats. For those unwilling or unable to do this, or for those that frequently wear jeans, they can expect the leather on that outside bolster to make an early exit or at least show extra wear. So many cars that come up for sale show the wear on this outside bolster. I even throw a towel over the bolsters when I wear jeans. One might find it excessive until they have to go through the effort and cost to source replacement sports seats in a matching color as I did in the 90’s. Obviously just my opinion; no attempt to change the thinking of others.

 

So how much do you think the seats in this car devalue it?

 

Depends what type of buyer wins the bid

 

It goes both ways here - the comfort seats in my turbo are terrible for me, maybe I'm too tall but I just don't fit in them like I do with sport seats. The sport seats are relatively rare and bring more money as others have posted.

Side note - if anybody has black heated sport seats they'd like to sell me lmk :]

 

Have you seen the recent prices on these seats? Unbelievable. In 2005 I was complaining when I paid $800 for sports seats.
