Very hard to negotiate these people... $ 57-58K is the lowest the owner is willing to sell

Is it worth or should I pass and be patient finding another simmilar car for around $ 55K ?

Pros: Popular color, low miles
Cons: Low miles (cars need driven...), interior color (IMO)

Probably overpriced, but if you are willing to go $55, then I wouldn't let 2-3k stop me if you reallly like the car!

Slap some cash down in front of them and they will change their tune. Hard to get people financed on a car these days and they will not waste their time negotiating unless you have the financing or cash!

if its local then that saves you shipping costs, if it were me i wouldnt pass on it for the sake of 2k, assuming its exactly what you've been looking for and you plan on keeping it for a while

Hey Buzzm, I have a buddy in the market for a e46M, you got a ad up for yours yet? What are you asking for it?

And to stay on topic, I like the one I linked, nice mods, interior is 100x better IMO. The super low miles on the first link make me wonder...why only 600 miles a year???

Do you know of any other 996TT with less than 5K miles or so ?

I am willing to buy such a car. I mean, feeling like buying a new car, although it's a "used" 996TT

Should be totally stock, preferrably red, grey or yellow

no

also remember that if you find one it might be accross the other side of the country in which case you will be spending 1,100 to ship it..if you are trading a car in that makes things eve more complicated, plus the hassle of dealing with someone thousands of miles away. I am am in the process of buying from out of state and i would rather pay a couple of thousand more and have them be closer to me.

personally i wouldnt lose out on a great car for 2k, cars with under 5k wont come up for sale very often, especially one with all the options you want and the right color

just my 2 cents though

I drive by the place every day. They have 3 Turbo's on the corner facing the street I pass every morning and afternoon. This blue one and a black 01 has been there for a LOONG time (like 3 months). They also have a seal grey with the aerokit option, that came there just short of a month ago.

+1 for showing a bunch of cash and see what happens!

Why don't you buy Marty's car for that price. Already modded and he is well known on this forum. $55K is an absolute steal!!

Would you be so nice and check out the car for me ?

Can you stop by and have a look at it ? I need to know if it's really like a new car, I mean, absolutely perfect paint, no dings or scratches, if the front lip is intact, inside all like new...

Car has less than 5K miles, but there are some people who don't take care of their stuff, so the mileage is not necessarily an indication if it's perfect or not

Could you rate the car from 1 to 10 regarding INTERIOR, EXTERIOR conditions ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Looked at it and PM:d you. The interior is actually more kind of tan-ish irl, than grey.
