It is a very nice car but you are asking for too much coin. You might want to sharpen your pencil.

You might get more interest if it was pictured with the factory wheels. The ones shown aren't my favorite.

Wheels I could live with, the price not so much if I was in the market for a 997. I know it hurts, as it hurts when I think of the money I would get if I sold my 3.2 but its just the reality of it. Bottom line, a new 2009 997S could be had for less than 80K, why pay 75K for one that is more than 3 years old? Granted its low miles but all that means is that you haven't driven it enough to see if it has any major defects. Its like buying a new 997S with no factory warranty.

Nice looking car, but man.... why didn't you drive it? Seems like a waste of a perfectly good car to me.
3200 miles in three years is, what, 80 miles a month? You've probably only put gas in it ten times! I've put nearly 20k miles on my '07 and I work from home and have no commute!

this is a tough situation-this car new couldn't be had for less than 80k-i would imagine that new, with pccbs and full leather, that this car new would have an msrp of about 103-105k. let's say that you could then buy this car now for a 10% discount-the car would then sell for about 94k. his car is 3 years old, but he has super low miles-assuming normal miles, his car is probably worth about 60% msrp (typical lease)-which would put him at around 63k-but that assumes that he has 36000 miles on his car-what i am saying is that with his level of equipment and his low miles, i don't think that his asking price is unrealistic, for someone looking for a car so equipt. si i guess that i would disagree with some of you telling the poster that his price is way off.

I think the price is right. the only problem is the warranty clock is ticking down. Wouldn't CPO price on the car be around 80k? Oh,and ditch the phony "forged" wheels.

Tough Crowd. The Wheels are HREs. The original Wheels and Tires also come with the car. The car has very low miles. I have six cars and not enough time. I have several 356s that I am more interested in then the 997S. The options of the car, the low miles make it a select vehicle. I have an extended Warranty(after market) for 6/60,000. You can buy a 2005 for less. I have not seen one like this but Im sure someone has.

The mileage provides a surpisingly small bump in value. It's one of the things that makes buying a used Porsche so appealing; there are many with ~10k miles, even when they are a few years old and options don't hold their value very well. Granted your miles are even lower than 10k -- but it just won't impact the value that much. Even compared to CPO'd 05s I saw 10 months ago at dealers, your price seems high. That said, I hope you find someone who is willing to pay what you are asking. Good luck!
