I see it has a Rennkit fix on it... like the color and wheels.

I also suspect it makes quite the 'wooshing' sound, all geared up with Greddy...

Something about that car doesn't look quite right to me and I'm trying to figure out what it is. Maybe the Techart bumper and the rear spoiler paired together don't go well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Low mile car though in a nice color. Curious to see what the final bid is.

I think it's the wheels. IMHO, the full TechArt package would look better with the TechArt wheels to complete the look (though I'm pretty sure they are boat anchors).

I'm also not especially a fan of any of that TechArt, stuff, though. Bumper and sideskirts are ugly, wing is too big.

I'd put realistic buyers budgets for 6-speed coupes at:
  • Under $40K if you are waiting for a sellers mistake car, or carfax blems, big cosmetic issues, really high miles, etc.
  • $40K budget for a mostly clean (but likely needs a few things), higher mile car.
  • $45-48K budget for a clean, sorted, cosmetically appealing driver with no deferred maintenance and less than 50 or 60K miles.
  • Over $50K for something lower miles or a particularly appealing car.
  • Over $60K for something that one might think of as a future collectable.
  • Over $70K if your flush with cash, don't mind overpaying, and see something you really like on BAT
I agree with this based on what I've seen so far in my search for a few months. However, that 2003 that just sold on BaT just about broke the mold....$47,500 (just a tad under $50k with the fee) with only 27k miles on it. Some of the add ons were nice things too.

Most mods are generally hurting not helping final sale value of the 996 Turbos... A super-clean, bone-stock 27,000 mile turbo in a great color combo like that cars midnight blue over black would have pulled way more, I bet at least $5K-$8K more!

That car is lucky to have done as well as it did, I personally would not even of considered it, way to many funky mods on it and no mention of all the stock parts still being around.That car had warning flags stamped all over it!

Agree!

Beating up on modern Ferraris and McLarens at track days doesn't hurt value in the overall enthusiast community, either

The same dealer has a silver/black 2001 with 14,000 miles.

Trend lines on any of the aforementioned car in "pfbz's" post are up. This includes Black Book which is a "bible" of sorts for wholesalers. Hagerty has a "Concours" category which most cars don't fit into but nonetheless bears out the fact they are rising.

Right, that's what it's all about

I wonder if modern Ferrari and McLaren owners could afford a used 996 Turbo?
