Just put my 996 on Ebay. Do you think the price is too high? 92k sticker.

I don't think so. Set it high and let the market dictate. You'll probably be bombarded with low ballers so setting the bar a bit high may help discourage them.

Good luck! I had my 996 listed at a pretty good price and was flooded with lowballers. Decided to raise it up and wait for the summer season to come around

Looks like a great price to me....and nice car.

From my experience with ebay it seems you have to price it near wholesale to get any real response...list it here and autotrader...you will probably have better luck.

also try cars.com - ebay is difficult to get a good price or serious bites. good luck!!

btw I think your price is fair, car looks beautiful. what else can you buy these days that is this much fun (and a ragtop) for under $40k???

Hey if you want to sell those Schnell tips let me know

Fair price but I don't think ebay will get you any serious buyers, I tried to sell my Acura on it and it didn't work for me. GL.

To echo what's been said, I think the price is decent, but if you want to get close to it I'd try other routes than ebay. Forums, autotrader, even craigslist.

If you don't mind exporting it, advertise it in the Canadian autotrader. Even at your full asking price that's way below market value up here.

I sold my 99 996 three moths ago on ebay. I sold a 03 BMW 330i two weeks ago on ebay. I had advertised both on Autotrader and Craig's list. I did better on both without a "buy it now" price. Good luck.

I bought an 02 cab in February.

Same milage. Pretty much same options, Bose, lits, heated seats, PSM. In addition mine has PSE and the areo cab aero kit.

$33k.

So yes your price is high.

+1 for being creative I guess.
