Just paid 38.5 for a 2010 c2 with 66k miles... so i would imagine 42-45k for a c4s is the ballpark for a good deal?

 

 

yup, manual, i got super lucky besides the deer that jumped on to the right front fender two days after the purchase! Karma for driving like a psycho in yellowstone and scaring all the tourists i guess, ha!

 

 

Great deal! Congrats!!

Now let me scream a bit: WHERE on earth do people find these deals? I would love to get a 997.2 base coupe MT for anywhere around 40k...but all I can find are cars $6k to $15k more...

 

patience my friend, found mine through a private seller on car gurus searching nationwide for about a month and a half, was not my dream color combo (black on black) but the deal was there and timing made sense for a vacation.

 

 

Last September, I was looking at 2 cars with very similar pricing: 2008 C4S 35K miles and 2010 C2 Cab 16K miles (CPO) for around $57K. Both are relatively loaded with original MSRP of ~ 110K. Drove both side by side for 2 hours. I ended up purchasing the cab. I realize both are extremely low mileage examples but good data points for your search.

Good luck with the search

 

45-47

 

I would say low 40s, maybe into 30s if not great history and abused. This the one in Spokane?

 

Let me offer you my $0.02 as I have the exact spec you're looking for: 2009 C4S manual with $109K MSRP when new.
I bought it in Feb 2015 with just 14K miles on it, and now it has 22K (garage queen) for $62,000 with completely bald original tire. Paid $1,500 to the seller to replace the new tires so I can drive 1,200 miles home. So without other expenses like PPI, insurance, and Sales Tax, I actually paid $63,500 for a 14K miles car.

If I were to sell it under these scenarios today, here is what I would ask (just showing my subjective mentality for reference):

1. If I had to sell it because I wanted to pursue another car, then I would list it at $61,000 and probably settle for $58,000
2. If I had to entertain an unsolicited offer, then I would not let go for under $65,000 (just my subjective opinion, yours may differ)
3. If I wanted to sell it because I don't see the need for it and have no time constrain to sell , then I would list it at $63,000 and probably settle for $60,000
4. If I were under the gun and needed the money for emergency, then I would list it at $55,000 and take anything above 50,000
5. If I didn't love the car anymore and got tired of looking at it, then I would just trade it to Carmax and take whatever they offer.

Now, if Trump slaps 25% tariff on European cars, then the above reasoning will change, as would the market.

I hope this helps you.

 

To add to the above post. I also purchased a one-owner 14k mile 2010 C4S Coupe/Manual with original MSRP of $112k.

Car was bought in October of 2017 for $65.5k.

 

I have a manual 2009 C2S (not 4S) with similar spec, super clean and same MSRP, but with 45k miles, purchased Nov 2017 for $48K. I'm pretty confident I could sell it here in LA for $55K within a week, given the demand. $45K for the C4S w/ 80k miles would be a solid deal, but not more than $50K, assuming you've driven it and love it.

 

You did very well indeed. Coupe or cab?
