It's the super-rare artic silver that jacks the price up 40-60 thousand.

so I'm not crazy...good! I was racking my brain trying to figure this out. It doesn't even have the Nav and it has dirt/scuff marks on the door card and seat bolster. I'm a newb to these cars but what options DOES it have other than cf interior bits?

Even if it had nav, it would have to be a $50k nav ;-)....

At only 8,450 miles, it could fetch up to $55K, maybe $60K because the car appears to be in immacuate shape and decently optioned (CF, painted trim).

Separately, Autocheck shows title issue so not sure where this guys gets an idea to start at $90k - maybe about 30 years from now, providing 9900 of 10,000 or so imported are off the road by that time... :-)

Lets see here:

Seller has 1 feedback for a TV mounting brackett 8 months ago.
Seller only accepts overnight cash or money order.
There are TITLE PROBLEMS as seen in the provided carfax for a REBUILT TITLE.

Um... any potential buyer for this car would need to be able to get a lot of research done on the car's history due to that title issue. Also, would want to see the car in person and have PPI done.

Seems that the seller just put this on eBay to advirtise the car as it would seem that he wants to sell it outside of eBay as nobody would pay that price for this car.

Anyone actually trying to sell a car worth $100k+ on ebay would have taken more time with the listing, car details, photos, and overall presentation of the listing.

IMO, even if it's all legit, not someone that I'd want to buy from anyway.

But it has a cassette player!

Surely that must kick the price up the extra $50K...

I don't think he's gonna get $90K for the supercharged C2...

Just as a comparison, I was recently offered $32K by a Mercedes dealer for my car (it has 83400 miles) as a trade-in (later raised to $34K). The Porsche dealer I bought it from in 2008 recently appraised it and estimated its value to be about the same (not surprisingly since both dealerships are owned by the same person). This while Kelly Blue Book for the car in a trade-in is $60,200 with said mileage and being in excellent condition..

Some recent sales I've noted confirm that $60K is somewhat optimistic so I'm not going to be surprised at a lower value offers, though I'm definitely not gonna let it go for $34K...

The market is still strongly in favor of buyers. I think the guy selling the turbo is smoking something or else he's not serious as ColoradoSilver has pointed out. Furthermore, I have a feeling that asking $90K for a supercharged C2 is not realistic, though I don't know what the car's performance specs are. It is a very beautiful car. I'd have to know more about it before estimating a price...

That car is worth around $30k. (Based on what a friend of mine sold his 02 SC 911 for which was had the same amount of mods as this car has)
