Thanks.
The deal on the 991 is excellent.
Can t justify 2 porsche, a alfa 4c and a corvette grand sport.
my wife would kill me lol
the warranty alone was 5k.

Here is a datapoint, when I was looking last November (11/2016) someone in CT was having trouble selling a nicely optioned ($117K MSRP) 2009 C4S MT cabrio w/ 80k miles for $46k (no warranty) on Autotrader, i didn't make it as far as a PPI, from email exchange it seemed to be in decent shape but needed some service.
Maybe the wrong time of year to be selling a cabriolet (even LA?) ... anyway, $43k seems reasonable ...

There are 21 cabs 997.2 4s on autotrader in the USA.
Prices range from 78k to 49.9k (the cheapest) with an accident as well....sold at porsche dealership.
I understand mine has higher miles but i thought 43k which includes warranty until 125k miles or 2021 was a solid deal.
Maybe it is the time of the year.

I ran my old autotrader search, seems of the 20 cabs only 7 are MT.
This nice one https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=465641890 seems to be the closest to yours.
I guess question is (Color aside) 32k miles - warranty worth $9k ...

If I can be brutally honest with you, I don't think you're putting your best foot forward. The car is dirty and looks very rough in your pictures. Spend good money for a legitimate detail and maybe even a light compound. Take a whole afternoon to take photos and actually "market" your car. Don't walk out to the space in your office where you parked. You know how pedantic and uptight Porsche buyers can be. You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle!
On the bright side, the warranty and squeaky clean DME report are definitely great selling points. I think the price is fair/realistic but don't think you're representing the car to the fullest. Jazz up your post (and any other listings online) and see where that gets you.

Agree the pics are pretty awful. haha
Also, "two minor accidents" will scare potential guys away. You may want to explain what happened a little better.

That's mine! It is pending sale. It is a weird market right now. LOTS of contact from people that simply wanted the cheapest 911 they could find and didn't seem too concerned with condition or service history. Can't even count how many emails or calls started out with "What is the least amount of money you will take".
Just curious, how long was it listed before you sold?

It's a good price for a 997.2 C4S with all records plus warranty. There are lots of 997s for sale in LA but I personally wouldn't buy one from a dealer. A good manual Gen 2 car is hard to come by.
