How can we know unless we wait for the auction to end?

I do think it's a nicely equipped and desirable car.

At the current bid ($75K) it is a good deal for a low mileage X50. Get a PPI and Good Luck!

...and you guys say TTs are dropping in value. NOT! Everyone thinks a low mileage 02 is worth almost 80K.

It's only the drivers that are falling in value.

My advice to you Dub-U, having bought a 9,000 mile X50 16 months ago at a premium, is if you have ANY intention of driving it, save yourself $10-15K and get one with 20K miles. Trust me it's the same car and clean ones are indistinguishable.

If you plan on really driving it less than 250 miles per month, then go for this car. Low mileage cars ARE worth more.

Finally, if a 10-15K hit for driving the car 10K miles is not objectionable to your budget, just buy it and feel good about it.

Good point Ari... It's out of warranty too.
Looks like a great white 996 w/ decent options. Will see where it is in the last 15 mins of the auction.

Thanks,
W.

Dan - Love the black rims w/ polished lip on white cars. This is probably why I'm craving white!!!

If you're looking for a white 03 x50 996 turbo with low miles, that one looks like a winner to me! Im not a fan of supple leather and it's missing a couple options that id want like sport seats and a nav but that's just me. 7500 miles and white x50.. wow! beautiful.

Yeh, would like the sport seats and Nav options but it hard enough to find white already. I wouldn't mind a white with 20-25k miles and pay less of a premium, so if you see something, please let me know.

I'll keep watching the auction, it looks like it's up to 77k now (thanks Win, lol). What do you guys think the right price is?

If you were to get this one I see black sport seats pop up all the time.. you could throw em in

Oh and the only other white turbo I saw was an 05 Turbo S on ebay.

Congrats on your incoming GT3, Cobalt is hands down the sickest color on that car as far as im concerned, maybe because i am in love with it and it was the first one i saw on the road flying past me

Cobalt/Black sceme is so sick though, congrats again!
