Default Interesting in this 2008 turbo

I got into my first turbo last year which was a 996 . Since then I have enjoyed the 996 but since I have jumped on the p car ban wagon and studying this German masterpiece I have fell in love with the 997 turbo .

I have been keeping an eye on the 996/997 market and noticed this turbo for sale for at least half a year. Seems like it's priced Right so just wondering what you guys might think.

Thanks in advance.

I’m assuming that’s Canadian dollars, which still seems expensive but admittedly I don’t know your market.

Thats roughly $70,000 U.S. It seems pretty well option with the big ceramic brakes that I believe is a $10,000 upgrade from Porsche as well as the Chronos package and theand the stitching around the leather seem like it's a pretty fair price not a bargain by any means

where do you think the price should be?

This car has been for sale since Dec 2016, maybe even longer. I'm pretty sure I've seen it show up multiple times in the past couple years, the earliest record I could find is only Dec 2016 though.

Yep, great post - I was about to mention the same thing. Has been listed for ~2 years here locally. Do thorough due diligence if you decide to seriously consider this car.

I have seen it for a while as well and I like the color combo but there has to be a reason as to why it hasn't sold in such long time being listed.

I know the market fluctuates and these cars are no different, but why does a car like this most likely not sell? The one in the OP seems suspect, but one like listed below seems pretty good, no?

Sorry, I didn't refresh my browser showing it most likely sold! That seems like a good buy given the mileage and overall condition.

If that is USD, $90,000 seems very high for a 2008 911.1 Turbo with 45,000 miles. Not sure what options it has because I can't find the VIN. If it is Canadian dollars, not bad.

Isn't that price in CAD, aka about $68k USD? $68k for a 6mt coupe with PCCBs and adaptives, even with 54k miles, doesn't seem too out of line...

I'd guess there could be mechanical issues, or maybe a combination of the price, color and mods keeping it from selling.
