auction or selling prices for 2008 turbo cab please

It would be extremely helpful if anyone has recent information on 2008 911 turbo cabriolet under 30,000 miles selling prices. Any price would be helpful including auction, private retail, dealer sale or trade in. Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

North Jersey-Metro, into central L.I., then into suburban Boston, 9000 to 28000 miles, no transmission preference,
$70000 to 85000 ask, mostly from non-porsche dealers. These prices seem to prevail across the country. You didn't specify transmission, so neither did I. Going as far as the Pacific Northwest, and Southern California, legit cars/sellers really didn't vary significantly. You will run across the odd way-high, way-low, stay away deal.
Looking these things up is an easily-learned skill. If you are serious about buying one of these cars, get in touch with me. I'd be glad to help. No, I'm not in the business...just a Porsche guy.

Best

High-mileage coupes vary from high '50's to mid/high '60's. "high mileage" I'm in the
range of 35000 to 55000 mi. While the request was for a 65000 mile (!) coupe, I can only extrapolate down---semi-educated guess of $50k. Have not seen nor heard of such a
well-used example personally, but I do know they exist, and are preferred by some for several good reasons, to wit: They have been driven, which is what they're for, they almost always have excellent service records, often by the same mechanic/shop/dealer, any typical issues have been seen to in a timely fashion, S.B.s have been addressed quickly, they have none of the "garage queen" issues, i.e., dried seals,
sticky actuators, rust or corrosion from sitting too long, strange electrical problems, etc. Would I be scared of such a car (with superb records)? No. Would I go looking for such a car? Probably not, and I'd probably be making a mistake to do that. These are Porsches---not Lambos or Ferraris.

I have such a 997.1 turbo with 68000 miles that I bought new. Have all issues like new water pump, clutch, all coolant hoses (engine drop), coolant reservoir, front axles/boots, etc replaced along with new SS tires, EP1 exhaust no accidents, no dings/scratches and xcellent records supporting all claims. never tracked. On a trade for a 2015 M4, got an offer for $54000. My question is where in the world did you come up with this "semi-self-educated guess of $50000?" KBB, NADA, black book, Edmonds, etc all give a trade in of $53-55K with private selling price $59-61K
