Been having a tough time trying to move my car recently..I don't know if its the current economic problem or what but I've had nothing but lowballers and time wasters. Any input on my asking price?...what would be a "steal" for someone to come take it right now?

Definitely, I firmly believe. The market, slowing world economy, credit issues, high gas price , ....etc. But for those who has moola. They don't care. they buy new.

 

Enough with this world economy nonsense. It is not selling for two reasons: first, the price is too high; second, the blue interior. I'm assuming that car cost about 90k new, but it is almost 3 model years old. Additionally, you have a high priced paint that I assume is basically worth nothing extra on resale. Also, you have a unique color. Blue on blue is not for everyone. I'd guess the car is worth 60k - 63k, but you need to find someone who likes blue interior.

 

The car's msrp is 107k. I have been offered ~60k as a trade in and the books say the car is worth around 67k. I posted it at 66k now..how is that too high?

 

sorry - terrible color combo. It will take the right buyer and there's probably not too many out there. Just my 2 cents. 60k tops

 

+100 on the bad int color..sorry, but had it been black on the inside..we've wouldn't be having this topic..

 

I just bought my Certified S Cab- '05 with 16 K miles for $71K- now it is a Cab and I have Tip and it does have the full Sand Beige leather interior- and it is totally perfect- and from a dealer (Hoehn - Carlsbad)

'06 Coupe with a lot of options (saw your list) for $68K offer is reasonable- I happen to somewhat agree the Blue interior will be an obstacle for some- but your car is great looking and it should go - but I will tell you all the dealers are dealing very low numbers on used cars so it is competitive...

Good luck...

 

I did bid on this car on ebay and got a counter offer from you (about 5k difference). I must admit that I didn't raise my bid since it was not my target color (white).
But hey, someone might be looking for 'exactly' this color combo who doesn't want to pay 25k more for brand new '09 with DFI and all other goodies, plus full warranty and zero mileage.....

 

I am pretty sure I did not get any offer that was 5k close to any asking price. If you were one of the countless lowballers however, maybe you would want to look for a white 996 that might be more in your price range. I appreciate the sarcasm as well..thanks for posting.

 

BTW someone would have to pay closer to 45k to have my exact car in new condition. For 25k more you get a bone stock s.

And even if it was 25k more, which its not, what the **** do you expect people to sell their cars for? Under auction price or what? Way to show off your stupidity in that post.

 

I think that most buyers are waiting for the 09's to be delivered and are going to take advantage of the lower price due to a flood of 3-4 year old cars, it happens to most cars. A lot of cars are going back as the leases are ending, and therefore it is a buyers market. If you need to sell, take the best offer, if you don't need to sell, then wait for the right offer. It is unique, but it is a Porsche, buyers are always around the corner.

 

sorry if showing off my 'stupidity' insulted you that much.
Good luck with the sale!

 

Beatiful car!! It has all the right options and color to sell . BUT it has a few points of interest too--

It's not selling because:
a) It has MILES !!!! Once a Porsche crosses 10K miles it takes its first depreciation hit and after 20 it's in the upper 50's .
b) it's priced close enough to an 08 discount that the buyer who could meet your price would buy a new one .

I read a few of your posts .... to see if the car has any positive or negative history . This way my opinion has some insight on your specific car.
a) rattle ?
b) starting probs ?
These resolved?

You bought the car only a few months ago . So it's a rather new car and the next buyer would be a third owner .

The 107 price and options attracted you and one other but the 67 ask won't close the deal .

Conclusion -- Keep the car !! You drove it too far to make it worth the time to haggle with the time wasters and low ballers and you don't want to give it away UNLESS you have to .

The price - Crack 60 and you'll sell quickly and with haggle maybe 61.5 tops .

Good luck with the sale .

 

I threw it on ebay at 65k for a quick sale, hopefully

 

the tax savings on trading it in for 60k is almost the same as selling for 65k. Why waste your time? Just trade in.
