I'm contemplating starting a new business and may want to thin the herd a little bit for some cash. I bought a 996tt cab last year and wanted to see what the general sentiment should be for starting price. I know this is the best way to start a fight here, but I have a certain spot in mind and wanted to see what others thought.

As a frame of reference, I got offered $44k for this car wholesale by a dealer I'm friendly with (that knows the car).

So here goes!

• 2004 996tt Cab
• 31k miles
• 6MT
• Basalt black, black interior, black top
• All stock except for a UMW tune (which I can easily remove)
• FULL leather interior, with all plastic parts covered in leather including dash vents, visors, horseshoe, center console, etc
• Sport Seats with crest and deviated red stitching
• Deviated stitching dash and doors
• Red gauges
• Red seatbelt
• CF shifter, brake, door handles and map pockets
• CF door sills
• park distance control
• short shifter
• 30k Miles tune up just done, all fluids changed throughout, all filters, new plugs & coils, new filters, new wideband o2's
• 85% MPS2's on newly powder coated twists
• recent bumper-off respray to fix a gouge and various pockmarks
• hardtop in basalt black as well

It drives and runs great but needs the following to be even better:

• Slave/accumulator is going bad
• map pocket/door pull on passenger side has crack ($400 from MACarbon)
• One of the parking sensors in the rear is kaput
• One small ding in passenger quarter panel (fixable by PDR)
• Front brake rotors are warped (pads are fine)

Considering that the list of things I'd need to fix/replace is a couple grand, I'm trying to decide how much incrementally the car is worth on a private sale?

Any thoughts?

 

44k from a wholesaler that's good. I'd list at 50k

 

the less things wrong the better the chance to get the price you want. at a minimum the slave and rotors should be replaced. the others are minimal for the age . mechanical issues are exactly what i look for to drive the price down based on dealership costs to fix

 

i'm sorry, i'd take the 44 and run.

gl with the new enterprise.

 

Id fix the slave- repair dent and it will bring 50k plus easy, or take the easy money is nice also.

 

I was thinking fiddy grand, too. And I find $44k from the wholesale guy quite aggressive, unless he's a friend and he'll be happy to make little money.

 

It's because they know me and my **** nature. He needs P-car inventory too, so that's another part of it.

 

47-52 as is would be my bet, ask your dealer friend to come up to 45 at least.

Lots of cool options, how'd you like to make $5k the hard way?

 

Take the 44k considering it needs a little work.

 

Yup 44k take it - seems some cabs have trouble selling lately.

 

Unless you going to fix the accumulator and rotors yourself so the repair cost is parts only I would take the $44k offer for the car as is.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

 

 

I can do both myself, it's a question of whether that helps a ton. Kinda like selling a house... Do you fix all the things it needs and sell at a premium and potentially have to wait?

Or take the discount and move on. I don't need the cash that bad, so I have time to do either.

 

This is a heavily optioned car. I'd slap it up for sale at $55K for the summer and fix the slave and brakes.. Black on black with low miles.. You have restored the car back to near new..
