I'm not usually a fan of silver, but your car looks amazing pre-wrap. Very clean.

Seeing the pre-wrap pics, I'll reassess my previous estimate. I'd say your car is worth $40k CAD private sale to the right buyer.

Maybe the best route is to leave the wrap, and provide both pics in your Classified listing. Give the buyer the option of you removing the wrap, once they give you a deposit. That way, you are increasing your pool of buyers, to those who like the silver or those who like the blue.

Now, onto more important things. How do you like the intense blue? I thought it was closer to BMWs Laguna Seca Blue but haven't seen one in person yet.
Intense Blue is stunningly beautiful in person. Very different than Laguna Seca Blue...according to my wife who is an color loving artist.

IHO it looked better before the vynil. That said my gut says you'll have more chances selling it unwrapped.

I would not unwrap it. Advertise as is, with a smallish premium and see if anyone bites. you can always unwrap in 6-8 weeks if no solid bites.

06 base c2 with Approx 50,000 km in mint condition. I would assume 40k cdn private sale and 45 if it were at a dealership. I've always been a fan of your car, very tastefully done ... Glws While I could be wrong but I don't think a CDn vs usa car makes too much of a difference for a decade old 997.

Don't unwrapped it, if you do, it's just another silver 997, you will get a lot of lowballers. It might take awhile to find the right buyer but the intense blue stands out from the rest.

I just want to say I am very seriously interested in this car should you decide to sell it, please PM me (it won't let me PM you) if it gets to that point.

This car is beautifully executed and one of my favorites on Rennlist. If I were car shopping today, I'd be begging you to take my money. GLWS!

How much does it cost to remove wrap? After I'd suspect a complete detail is in order?

One of the cleanest 997s I've seen. Great job on the mods. Very tasteful. GLWS

I'd agree $40K CAD +/- $2K. Really nice car but that's where the market is for 05/06's I think!!

Yeah, curious on this too. I've debated a wrap at times. What's involved with the removal? I assume you would have to reapply badges, rock guard, paint detail?

Keep us posted on what you get. I have a 2007 S in Meteor Gray with 17K miles that is very clean. $100K + MSRP and original owner. Will be soon selling to make room for a 991
