C4S low miles & price

Not affliated, just came across it right now on Craigslist(2002, 18k miles, $45k) Thank goodness it isn't Speed Yellow, or I would be pissed....

there ain't nobody driving a 996 thinking damn my car is really holding its value well - get over it

actually there ain't nobody, with a handful of exceptions, driving a modern day car period saying that

I agree with that....I have been amazed at the depreciation rates of the new luxury cars. I think everyone is scared of owning a modern high end car out of warranty...

I just bought my 02 C4S with 15k, looks brand new for $48k, I think the price is about right if you shop around.

If you want residual value then buy a 993, I'll stick with my 996...

Cool

That seems right in line with what I found during my search in Dec.

Prices dropped a little in Jan when we hit 08 and cars were another year older. Just the way it is.

Yes these cars are dropping in price, can't argue with that. Still, though, this is about 5-10K low, easy.
