Hi Guys. I just wrote a pretty long (5 paragraph) and entertaining (I tried to be funny) introduction and explanation as to why I was posting here and when it came time to "submit", the system froze and I lost my entire thread!!!

I'm so bummed out about the disappearance of that thread I just wrote but here's the re-cap: I lurked here for months while I waited for my 06 997S to ship. I took delivery and was over my head in love for 2 months but then something strange began to happen- I found myself driving the 997S less and less, sometimes choosing my RS6 for weeks at a time over the Porsche...

I realized I had a problem so I sold the RS6 and fell back in love with the 997S... That is, until we had our first Chicago snow storm. I knew I had overlooked something when I sent the RS6 off and that something came crashing back to me, snow performance!!! I needed something that I could depend on year round, so I traded the 997S for a Range Rover.

18 months later, I can fully admit that NEEEEEEEED another Porsche. I yearn for the sound of the engine at 7,000 RPM among many, many other things. As such, I think I've found a replacement and could really use your collective help with my offer / sale price. Here are the vitals:

2006 997S
Metallic Black w/ beige full leather
5600 miles
Sports Chrono
Nav
Standard Power Seats
19" Carrera Sport Wheels-Chrome (I don't care for these at all but would replace asap)
Exceptionally clean
Built-in Belltronic Radar
Being sold at a Lambo dealer
Asking $68,900.

All said, it's a great set-up that I could learn to live with. My #1 combo would be my prior Seal Gray w/ Black Int, Chrono, Nav, PSE set-up but I'm not having much luck finding one. What would you guys consider the right market value / purchase price on this set-up? Any and all help is much appreciated.!

you sold your C2s because of snow performance, but now you are buying one again? You don't think you will end up in the same situation? Why not get a 4s?

 

I'm keeping the Range Rover this time around... Thanks for the response!

 

the price sounds right, however i am not a fan of spending any amount of money, let alone thousands and then feeling like i have to "live with or lear to love" something. My point is if you havent found what u absolutely want, wait, it will come around soon.
Me personally, i dont like tan interiors, all my cars have black interiors, personal pref, therefore i would not settle...look on this forum and call all the dealers in your area, u will find what ur looking for

 

Good advice.

 

I agree, love it or leave it! Don't settle for almost the car that you want, you obviously have enough money to spend a few dollars more
to get the right car. The price sounds good though.

 

Seal Grey -- Not far back a guy had one for sale on this forum .

I also suggest waiting for the exact car because you can . Time is on your side because each day that you wait the price of the 06 gets better .

The car you discuss does have some positive things being that it's nicely equipped and has low miles. Color choice is a personal decision .

Check the rear tires for wear and tear.

Given that you :
1) want to replace the wheels
2) Arent dazzled by the color

You can offer very low . Tell them that your mixed sentiment would allow you to walk unless they made the deal that great for you.

63K firm and see if they bite . Otherwise keep looking.
