Hey guys my father is looking at a 996 Turbo S on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...US_Cars_Trucks

Just seeing what would be a good offer to make on a car like that? We have not had a ppi or anything.

Thanks for the help as always!!

 

extremely rare car. 2005 turbo cab, 1 of only about 600. I'd say based on year and mileage 70-80k would be a fair price.

 

I would say if it's a correct car the value is between $78K and 85K. I know that's a big spread but it will fall where you see the price. Just my opinion.

 

I know the 2005 was a slow year (ie less production) but I really don't see how it translates into huge prices....

The same car (2005 S, <9k miles, cab, great mods) has been languishing in classified and ebay at $84900 for quite some time.

~75k IMO. Unless they find a buyer that just must have it. Also, I like tan- even better is the Natural brown leather, but many buyers will not agree.

 

Thanks guys!! I told him to shoot for around 75k and keep our fingers crossed that he finally becomes part of the Porsche family. It would be his first 911..

 

I do agree with above posts, but I remember seeing a few sellers going as low as 69-71 for around the same miles/condition. However, this is a special car and I can understand giving in to a few k more to get the car you want.

BTW- im Danny from SI NY, going to call you for some brakes soon lol

Good luck to you and your dad with the new purchase

 

Danny! yea thanks for the info.. I hope he ends up on pulling the trigger, this would be fun to drive around in on the weekends!

Let me know about the pads, always here to help..

 

wow, a 2005 turbo S CAB as a first 911. very cool.

 

that dealer is local to me and I was very close to buying a 996 GT2 they had there a few months ago.
All I can say that it's a very clean and honest looking dealership and the cars they had there all seemed in excellent condition.

 

There is no way I would take that car over a GT2.

 

depends on the GT2. A mint GT2, or one in good shape, I agree. But a salvage titled GT2, I'd probably take the TurboS over it.

 

I had the same though...someone posts $85k and my thought was "thats GT2 pricing"...and not salvage, but clean and decent miles too.
