The 2001 Order Guide shows "Natural Leather - Brown" as code 02. The 2002 Order Guide shows "Natural Leather - Brown" as code 04.

Hi all, I am new to the forum and looking to get a Porsche 911 experience. I had a Cayman a few years back and now itching for a convertible manual. Looking to keep this car for a few years.

What do you guys think about the price of this Porsche? Asking Price $44,000 with 76k miles on it.

Nothing fancy, just a silver convertible with a manual stick and some basic mods.

I think that price is 10% high or so for a cab with that mileage, carbon fiber cracking, aftermarket wheels and stereo. That is probably not clutch chatter but rather usual Mezger clatter.

Looks like Meridian to me... if so, rare color. Agree with Hoseboy, $40K or so is a good target. Wheels do not appear to be 'aftermarket.'

That exhaust looks like one of those Chinese made systems, very *similar* to Agency Power. I've driven a coupe with that exhaust, it's drone city.

As others have said, $44K probably a little high for a 76K mile Cab

I think you can do better so it's not a huge loss hopefully. This thread is quite useful for those in the market, and I hope it helps you too.

Beautiful specimen for sure! But yikes, I'd want to switch out the original '01 dated tires immediately if the car is going to be driven.

This should be an interesting one to watch - great options and miles - wrong time of year to sell.

I don't think time of the year matters much with this car. With a 60k mile driver for John Q Average 996tt Buyer, yes. But this is a quasi museum piece, that kind of buyer isn't gonna go yeah I'd like it but winter's coming so I'll see what comes up in April.

No, but they may hold off with the craziness of the markets, the mid-terms, etc etc. I'm in real estate and I'm seeing that happen a ton with buyers/sellers right now.

+996. I was going to post a note on BaT in response to @dannym's comment that he just drove his '99 SL500 for 25 miles on 20 year old tires because the tread looked like new, but didn't want to sound preachy.
