That link should lead to a recent post on cars dot com, not the car I'm considering, but it's a 2008 convertible, 38k miles for $59k! Makes me feel like I'm crazy considering considerably more for the car I detailed previously.

Try this one..

Might be the brown as that is a limited pool of buyers. Some love it, most dont..

Even being a brown cabriolet, that's a pretty good deal in my book. People here would probably say the seller shouldn't take a penny less than $70k.

I'd be looking deep into that car. Price seems very low.

Have you got the Carfax on that cab? I clicked the Carfax the link in the ad and it said they have 56 records on that particular car. Something seems odd... Car is priced under the market by a least $5k.

That car is gorgeous!
If I were in the market, Ill be a buyer.

I dont know the seller or the car but if just for the looks and no paintwork, thats a good deal.

There are always good deals to be had still.

That's a sweet deal if your looking for a 6spd cab.

I think a lot of pricing guidance from prior page assumed coupe. I think you got to knock off upwards of 10% for a cab. I'd say $70K, maybe a nudge up.

Just to be clear the car I'm considering is not that cab, the info on PPI, DME and paint was not for that cab. I have no info on the cab besides the carfax on the dealer's website. Pricing on that cab just made me second guess value on these 997 Turbos... right when I thought I had it figured out.
