My price chart from last year about this time was pretty linear from 2000 to 2004. But there were price stand outs for sure.

 

I saw a lot of scatter when I bought my car.

 

I think I could sell my car now for more than I paid a year ago....

 

wow, i didn't know cars appreciated..lol

 

Hi Mcfly,

I found mine on excellence:

http://www.excellence-mag.com/

I looked for a couple of months, and finally found THE ONE.

Good luck!

 

Wow there Richard (AKA Dick) I dont think I said they appreciated. I said I could sell mine now for more than I paid a year ago. Didnt know you had the crystal ball to see how much I paid for mine.

 

Thanks !

 

lol, i was just messing around man, but ofcourse cars don't appreciate, i'm sure you got a great deal on yours thats why it would be worth more. I just picked mine up from San Fran last week

any upclose pics of your black wheels? i'm thinking about getting mine black as well

 

I stand down, LOL, and apologize. Sorry about the Richard statement. I am grouchy when I wake up in the mornings. The wheels are "Modulare Forged" I will get you some close up pics when I return from Vegas.. Enjoy your car..

 

Thanks man, the richard comment was funny-lol, i have the Marion MR3-3 Piece wheels & the lip is polished like chrome & i dont like that at all...i'm thinking about either doing gloss black on the lips and leaving the rest regular silver look, or maybe doing gloss black on lip and flat black rest of the wheel...i dont know

 

I'm the guy that posted, and no I'm not trying to sell mine right now, lol. Say what you will but the seller decides the price of the vehicle, as far as the MARKET pushing the seller to come down, maybe it did for him but not all sellers. Seller doesn't have to sell the car to anyone, which is why I stated what I did. I know there have been several times I have cut someone a deal, and other times I would say no.
Every buyer wants something for nothing, and bottom line is if sellers would stop selling their cars for pennys on the dollar, then the prices would stabilize. Just wait until you sell your car and every idiot in the world calls you up, to tell you they found one better than yours for $5,000 so take it or leave it, lol. I believe you will leave it. Its your car and you set the value, not the buyer sorry....

 

I could sell my car about three thousand more than what I paid for it easy because of the exclusive hard to get options such as the PCM original navigation, 6cd-changer, PSM, upgraded newer factory rims to start. This is not including the two thousand dollar K40 radar/laser jammer built-in and $750 aftermarket top of the line stereo Alpine system with IPod hookup for mp3's. What is unbelievable is the car still has Permaguard on it so the car looks more expensive. People think I payed $60,000 let think whatever they want all I know is that stole it for the price I payed for it.

 

You're confusing the market with an individual. The market can be viewed as what people in general are paying - you measure that by examining comparable sales. Doing that you will see a price range at which cars sell. Where your car fits in the range will depend on the options, condition, and how good a sales person you are BUT if you price outside the range (i.e. the market) you are unlikely to sell.

You are correct in that you can choose not to sell. It does appear to be a buyers market however so the buyer that you pass up will without a doubt find their car elsewhere. It may be your car, but its their money.

 

this. welcome to free market economy 101.

high supply (lots of vehicles) and low demand will cause market value to drop. Low supply and high demand will cause market value to rise.

If you're selling for 30k, and the guy with a very similar car around the block is selling for 28k, his neighbor is selling for 25k, and the guy that really needs to get rid of his car is selling for 23k, I may want your car a bit more and try to talk you down, but ultimately, I'm going to pay what I think is the fair value. The seller's opinion of value starts to matter less and less the more the market gets saturated with his product.

You're right, though, in that he always has the option to not sell and try to hold out for a sucker

 

Ah, so if we get rid of the supply our price in the market will shoot straight up on 996's right,(let's ship them overseas) just kidding lol like that is ever going to happen still I wish..

As for the market... how is it doing in other countries (outside the US) right now as far as supply is concerned are there more 996's in Dubai than let's say Finland or Ireland? What country has the highest demand for these? I am curious, I'm betting they are paying a huge premium because of low supply.
