Looking for a daily driver. How much should I expect to pay for a well maintained One-owner '05 CPO C2s coupe with about 30k miles? I know about the IMS issue.

Finding a CPO'd 05 isn't going to be easy. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure a car can only be CPO'd if it is less than 6 years from it's origional delivery date.

Found one already.

Here is the link. Any thoughts? Thanks.

That is a really really nice color, looks to be in good condition.

I does look like a lovely car. I can see it does have power seats and does not have full leather, and according the options list it has the extremely rare and desireable "Hid Headlights" and "Rear Bench Seat".

I too am under the impression that CPO would not be available on a car beyond 6 years of its in-service date, so either the listing is erroneous or the car sat unsold until sometime after July 2006, and even then the remaining warranty period would be only months unless the car hadn't been sold until July 2007 or later. It would be something I would surely want clarified prior to purchase.

It appears the finish on the leather steering wheel as well as the radio ***** and aircon fan and temperature controls are a bit knackered, so I would want them sorted as part of the deal.

Thanks for the posts. I do really like the Atlas Gray.

Based on the Carfax report, the car was titled in January 2005. So I am not sure about the CPO.

I wouldn't pay more than $47 or 48k for that car if it were perfect. It should really be closer to $45k. My car (see signature below) is a year newer, has more options and 2/3 the miles. I was in the lowish $50s 3 months ago. I think I paid pretty much the going rate - a good deal but not a great deal.

Mid-$40Ks for that car.

IMO 40-43K for low miles perfect condition max 45K.

Best of luck!

Yes, but you have to take into consideration that three months ago the 997 market was temporarily softened because dealers predicted the 991 would take off like a rocket and drive the price of 997s down, so they wanted to thin their inventories. Now that the dealers can see the reality is their prediction about 991 sales was wildly optimistic, the 997 market seems to be firming up.

Well said.

Looks like a nice little 05!

My first reaction was $51.5k is a little high. I think you could work the price down, as others have said. Hopefully mid to high "$ Forties"

I am looking at an almost identical specd 05 car at my P Car dealer. Also CPO for 2 more years or 50000 miles. They want $53995 which to me seemed 5-6K too heavy. Mileage at 33K

They are trying to wholesale this car on Manheim for $51,525. You should be able to buy it for that but CPO may be off the table. Good Luck with your negotiation. Good looking car in my opinion.
