Question Looking for a price confirmation

Typical 911 story.... started looking for a 996 with ims upgrade and am staring at a 997.2 right now. I’ve found a 997.2 2009 30k miles and super clean inside and out. Not many options, mid to high 80’s MSRP.

looking at a purchase price of $45k. It’s all about what its worth to me but kbb and nada have me leery. Would really appreciate the enthusiasts help.

clean CARFAX, 1 owner, maintenance up to date and newer tires.

please help convert a bmw driver and let me know if i should jump in or keep up the search.

thanks all!

Non-S 3.6?

$45k for an unmolested, never been wrecked 997.2 with only $30k miles is about right to a good a deal depending upon color and etc. and especially if manual. If correct color, manual and super clean, I would jump on it for $45k.

Thanks Doug. MT artic silver w/ black leather. Bose upgrade, Bluetooth and aux audio, power and heated seats

so hard as its mostly about ME. But want to feel like I’m getting a nice deal to steal vs being had.

hopefully by EOW I’m in the DIY and installing a muffler

I bought a similar car six months ago. 2009 Base, 6MT, 35k miles for $42K. Car has Bose, Aux audio, heated seats but not powered, Carrera S II 19" wheels. MSRP was $83.3K. I am third owner, and very pleased with this car. Have added Fister mufflers (DIY posted on this forum) and Porsche GT3 short shifter. Car is excellent performer (for me) and I have no intention of doing any other modifications to it. It's regular maintenance from now on.

Thanks! U get yours @dealer or private? Im feeling pretty good with mid 47 at dealer with all service and new tires. Especially when it’s the exact color you would order new. Fingers crossed it all works out I guess

btw- how’s the exhaust? I had a mustang gt with borla catback and loved it. Loud under los and high rpm
is fine as long as minimal highway drone

Private Party buy. Love the Fister mufflers - great value for the money IMO. No drone.

I recently missed out on a '10 base C2 black on black,with approx. 47K miles, one owner that sold privately for $42K (originally asking $50K). It had very few options except for Bose and vented seats. I've recently saw a very similar '09 for sale at a dealer for $57K?? Prices seem to be all over the map??

Sounds like a pretty good deal, especially since it's also the color you want. As for the exhaust, you'll never get a 997.2 sound the way it should as long as you keep the center muffler. That one has to go and then you have a bunch of options to go from there. Or get a Tubi system (on the expensive side) which takes care of it all. Had that on my -09 C4S and loved it.

$45k is a good buy for 30k mile 997.2 manual coupe. KBB and the like will say its worth a little less but many dealers would ask $55k for it. With it being the colors you like, I'd pull the trigger.
