Overall, a pretty lightly optioned car that has been pampered. Just couldn't drive it much while having young kids (Now 6 and 4.5).

Nada - $54,300
KBB - $56,400

Are those prices legit?
Thoughts?

Beautiful car.
I have kids (one 4.5 & other 9 months).
I have a boost for older one but don't take the baby in it yet.
Only issue I have with the 4.5 yrs old is, she keeps telling me to slow down.
I'm being such a bad example sometimes.

Your car is a beauty.
I got a one owner 2008 in your color and options, but mine has PSE.
It had 33k miles and I paid under $55k.
It was a one owner car.

Id keep that beauty!

Can you specify if those prices are retail sale?

I'd find a way to keep and drive it. Your kids are at about the only tolerable age range to actually use the back seats.

I actually think those prices are about right for an '06 S with your mileage. Your car is beautiful and well optioned. GLWTS

Keep it. My kids are 8 and 6 and they love it. We go everywhere in it. Best of both worlds. Thats why they have small back seats.

As far as price - i'm not a 997.1 expert, but that seems right in the ballpark. Especially given one owner, very well maintained and low miles. i think you'll get in the low 50's.

I have an '06 CS2 with less options and 37k miles. Mine is in beautiful condition. Last month I looked at a trade on '08 Turbo and was offered 41k for my car.

NADA was for "Clean Retail"
KBB was for "Excellent Private Party Value"

Thanks for the responses. I'm 50/50 on selling it. I obviously don't drive it a whole lot and I'll openly admit that the car still has the original wiper blades and i have never once put wiper fluid in it. LOL.

I could use the cash for other things right now and we have a few other cars that are just much more convenient for driving around with kids...but they do love it.

Not to hijack, but If you decide to part with the S II wheels and return the car to the lobsters, let me know with a PM...thanks

Sounds like a decent retail price. $5-7k less on a trade more than likely.

How many of those other cars can you keep until your kids are grown and out on their own and it will still have a remarkable resale value and turn as many admiring heads as it does today, if not more? Given the dismal launch of the 991, at least in these parts, there may be a good chance the 997 will be the next 993 (after those have become unaffordable to mere mortals). Excepting the ghetto tinting, your 997 is spectacular. I would not part with it.

The options on your 06 don't really add up to much so it's going to be on the low side for an 06 coupe. But it looks great! Keep it!

pissedpuppy

Agreed - its worth keeping

pissedpuppy

Glad you kept it - hope you told the, to **** off

Another vote to keep it! My kids are now 10 + 7. We go everywhere in it. Yesterday with kids, runs to dry cleaner (filled one rear seat with the mass of clothes I picked up), hardware store, lunch, and shopping for soccer shoes and pads. In a pinch the whole family can go in it (though we usually take the Cayenne S). My kids have grown up in my Porsches.

I did switch to the 356 to get our Christmas tree with the kids, since it has a rack on the back.
