Anyone thinks this 2006 C4S a good deal?

It has 86k miles. Not a great deal.

38-43.

That's true I wouldn't say it's a great deal but could be a good deal if car is well maintain and for someone looking to DD it.

Coming into spring time... I'd say it's a 40-45k car, if it has good history and optioned well.

This thread is training me well! I offered $45k but it was denied. He's asking $51k.
It does appear to be in great condition with a good history and well optioned.

I was thinking about the time of year, I have only been watching the market closely for the last couple months but I tossing around the idea that there would be MORE inventory coming spring. Perhaps those cars all tucked away in the garage for winter will be out! At least for 997.2 and late .1 there seems to be less supply now that November. But perhaps that is my imagination.

Check back in April when its still for sale, seller should have taken 45k, that's all the money for that car.

quiverkiller

Thanks for the reinforcement. I'll report back in April.

Agreed. Even that seems about like dealer retail. Not too many 997.1 low-mile C2S come up for sale here, but when they do, they are typically under $40k if the owner actually wants to sell the car. I wouldn't pay more unless it is a hard to find color (Cobalt) that you just have to have.

John Wright at PNH posted a gorgeous 2007 C2S 997.1 last year. He was asking $45,000. This car had, what, 15,000 miles, with ceramics, full leather, 18-ways; the car was killer and probably the cleanest 997.1 I have seen. If you are going to spend $45,000, hold out for a car like THAT, as $45,000 is a LOT of money for a 997.1 (outside of something like a club coupe).

2009 C4S Manual for $39.9k: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto...812702182.html

This is actually a C4.
Talked to seller a few weeks back, nice, straightforward guy, car appeared clean, and worth looking at. Car is in the Reno area.
Seller also had on eBay and said he had offer of $38,000
I passed and bought a local 997.1 C4S for less.

Yeah, with the mileage, and the fact it has a couple of dents (according to the seller), I would say $38-40k max is about right. As I noted earlier in the thread, I got my pristine 2009 C4 manual with just over 30k miles for $45,500, and it had 2 sets of wheels, a wing, and some other options (I sold the extra parts for $2500). Even a base model will lose $1,500 per 10k driven.

A great way to check private party price is to call a good dealer with the VIN, and see what they would buy the car for. Add 7-8% to that number.

I bought my 20k mile, 2 owner, manual, White with factory aero, for 46,500 at the beginning of Dec. 18. It's damn near mint, all factory records and locally owned and maintained.

I probably paid a bit on the high end, for December, but knew that the car wouldn't last. Matter of fact, while I was filling out the paperwork, two guys came in looking for it. I think that cherry 997.1 are pretty rare.
