Carmax's offer
 
Thought I'd share this: Nothing most of us don't know already.

My car: 2002 C2, 25,000 miles, immaculate, Fabspeed exhaust, K&N, HR springs, new tires, JL audio, all the good stuff without bastardizing it...

Their offer to me was $23K. Carmax in Fort Lauderdale.

I love this car and not planning to sell till it hits about 60k but it says something about the value of these 996's these days. I wonder if the values will decrease further when the 991 comes out. Thoughts??

Sounds about right, they probably gonna list it for $30-33, pretty sure they care less about the aftermarket stuff.

Absolutely. Aftermarket stuff is irrelevant. It doesn't matter. I do think the values have bottomed out though. It's still a relatively exclusive car. What do you think?

saeyedoc Jun 11, 2011 03:22 PM

Wow, $3k under KBB fair trade value.

fast996 Jun 11, 2011 03:24 PM

Carmax is notorious for lowball offers, then again who goes and sells their Pcar to Carmax (shame shame) :D

RugRunner Jun 11, 2011 04:27 PM

Too funny--These vehicles have no business at carmax. A Porsche dealer wouldn't give two s*%ts about a 2007 civic or an '05 impala and I guess it makes sense that a sweat-shop style at dealer specializing in stuff like that wouldn't know what the hell they were dealing with. Nothing to get upset about or over-analyze. They have no business dealing with a enthusiast's car like yours.

Tarek307 Jun 11, 2011 07:30 PM

You can easily get close to $27,000 for that car

white99c2 Jun 11, 2011 09:29 PM

Last year KBB had my '99 with 52K "private sale" in excellent condition at $21k. I checked it yesterday with 56k miles and now its $23,500.00. As far as I'm concerned, its like a Visa Card commercial .... PRICELESS.

I don't watch tv much, but isn't that the Master Card commercial?

But why did you goto CarMax & waste their time when you didn't intend to trade or sell them your car from the beginning? i worked at a dealership when i was younger & people such as yourself used to drive me nuts lol..but i knew howto deal with them

jacksonporsche Jun 12, 2011 03:37 AM

Tarek, Part of carmax's marketing is to invite everyone to come in for an offer on their car. They are a machine when it comes to checking out a car and making a lowball offer. I didn't waste anyone's time.. In fact, they wasted mine.

carbonissimo Jun 12, 2011 06:17 AM

no...since you're not planning on selling the car till it has 60k on it...you are what's called a STROKE

jacksonporsche Jun 12, 2011 07:30 AM

Haters got nothin to do but hate I guess. Just so you know, I have a close friend who does the estimates there and was happy to do it for me. Second, I've bought two cars from them. Third, stroke THIS.

carbonissimo Jun 12, 2011 07:34 AM

nothing to do with hate...if you have a friend there then they didn't waste your time...nice try

Airrik Jun 12, 2011 03:09 PM

Carmax lol PCar don't belong there period. DriveTime is another one of those dealers that high end sports and exotic cars don't belong.
