Will be his 1st Porsche, want him to have a good experience - not a steal, just a fair price for a really good car.
What would the current market $ be for a well optioned 2008 C2S?
- under 20,000 miles
- original owner
- NM condition
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Matt

Depends on a lot of factors.. coupe or cab? tip or manual? what options? maintenance history? $44k CAD or USD?
$44k for a 08 C2S with <20k sounds pretty good if it's in good condition and well-optioned. I paid $42k for my 08 C2S with 53k and highly optioned.

44k won't get you a 2008 C2S with < 20K miles
it'll get you a 2005 C2S < 20K miles
it'll get you a 2008 C2S with > 20K miles
It'll get you a 2008 C2 (non S) with < 20K miles
but not all three

+1 sounds like a fair price, maybe even a really good deal. Pass the below link to your buddy if he ends up getting one ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

A few months ago I paid 44K for a 2006 4S Cab with 30,000 mi.
Fully optioned with full leather etc.
I would rate the interior as perfect, the exteriors only flaws were some minor paint chips on the front. New tires....needed nothing done.
I felt I got a fair deal, not a good deal. One factor was it was a independent dealer and they took my work truck in on trade which made the transaction easier for me than dealing with a private sell.
This was a southern Cal purchase

This is a good price. There was a 06 C2S 6sp I was looking at with 32k miles asking $44k and would take $42k. I passed on it and bough a cheaper C2 with 40k miles but $42k was a fair price. A texas 2006 C2S 6sp with 30k miles was listed at $42k and sold for $40k.
However, as others pointed out....it 100% depends on the PPI. 20k miles sounds great on paper but it means the car has been sitting for long periods of time which = bad things. In looking through the prior owner's service records of my car the annual maintenance costs were inversely proportional to the annual mileage.

Is this car a 2008, <20k miles, and asking $44k? If so, that is a great deal assuming it is in good shape. I'd even advise my friend to pay a few grand more if necessary.

Salut Matt,
Check the carproof to be sure, and I think I know which car you're looking it. It sure looks good but I'm not a fan of white. I just put down a deposit for an 06 black C4S with 40k mile car and the price is ~40k. If he's happy with the carproof and it passes PPI then I think he needs to decide if he wants it!
