Hello Gentlemen, I am in the process at looking to purchase a 996 TT and haveidentified a car through a friend, but I was hoping I could gain some insightinto current market prices before I make my offer. First off, thank you all of you for posting such informative replies to all of the threads on the board.Although I am not very active in posting, I have learned a great deal fromlurking around the boards over the past few years.

What price should I be looking to pay for this car as described below?

2003 996 TT X50

PolarSilver with Metropol Blue Interior
14Kmiles
3Owners
No accidents

Noteworthy Options Include:
-X50
-PCCB
-Polar Silver Paint
-Heated Seats
-Aluminum/Chrome Package

Original MSRP approximately $151K

Is there any additional information you’d need in order to make an educated estimate?

Thank you all in advance; I look forward to getting to know you all!

 

~$50k is the ballpark number for that car. I paid $47k for my 03' with 26k miles and didn't have all of those options last February. Good luck with purchase.

 

55k with low miles especially if its stock= you will pay for a good car with records and a clean ppi. Don't go by what others have paid unless they are clear on condition and repairs needed after purchase etc.

 

Assuming 6-speed and not tiptronic, then low 50s sounds about right

 

I'm pretty sure they all need some repairs after purchase lol

 

Make sure you have a PPI performed and have the PCCB rotors closely inspected. They can easily chip if someone is careless changing a wheel, If you have to replace them, they are $5K per side.

 

Mine didn't need repairs and had complete records= I pay up front when ever possible. The cheap cars bought are usually followed with multiple posts of problems and repairs. I'm not pointing fingers just offering advice to help.

 

$50-55k sounds like a fair range for buyer and seller if it's a clean car with the described options and mileage.

 

If you get it for low 50's its a steal, 55k seems more than fair

 

I am a newbie but agree with wolf. I paid about $44 for an 01 with 10k and needed coils, master slave and soon after a MAF (this one couldn't be determined before hand). I think I still got a great deal and have roughly $47k wrapped up before anything additional. I would think low $50's is more than acceptable.

 

I have an 03 X50 MSRP was 160K I paid 40K with 27K miles on it from a MB dealer.

 

I think everyone can chime in on threads like this and give a crazy story about how low they paid, but I wouldn't consider that of any value other than it was a great buy for you.

 

I also think that $55K is a fair price for a manual.

 

If you had to sell your car in the near future, would you sell for $40k?

 

It'd be silly to do so, as $40k is quite undervalued for that car unless there were known issues.
