What is a fair price for this '06 S?

2006 Carrera S. Atlas Gray, Black Interior. Mint Condition. Just under 18k miles. New tires, Power Seat Package, Self Dimming Mirrors, Heated Front Seats, Sport Chrono Package Plus, Bose High End Sound Package, Black Porsche Lettering, Sport Shifter, Sport Exhaust System, 19" Carrera Sport Wheels, Leather Sport Steering Wheel.

What is a fair price with the above options?

Car is not CPO'd but has two full years remaining on the factory warranty

Any and all comments are appreciated. Have been watching these cars for almost 6 months and can't say I've seen a price drop despite a crappy economy, crumbling stock market, new 997 model launch, etc.

Is this at a Porsche dealer?

I just bought a 06' Atlas Grey 911S in mint condition with 9k miles, heated seats, Bose, sport exhaust, Nav, power seat pkg, self dimming mirrors, and 19" Sport wheels

Paid $62k for it at a non-Porsche dealer. Similar priced cars with simliar mileage and options at dealers where priced at $79 and would not go below $70.

I don't think you should pay more than low 60s.

That is a good deal. Is the car CPO? Either way thats a good deal.

I agree thats a good deal. From what I've come across, Pcars take hits at the following mileage points.
>5k
>10
>20
From 20k to 50 K price levels out...hit 50K+.

So negotiate, sound as though the price is right, if it hasn't been abused.

I got it at Carmax I was a bit nervous buying from a non-Porsche dealer without CPO, but the car was sold in May 08' as CPO to the second owner and he only put 3k miles on it.

Therefore, I got the extended warranty. It was only $1800 for 6 years/100k from date of purchase. After reading the coverage, its seem pretty comprehensive although I am sure I missed some fine print which I will find out when I take my car in. I even have the option to take it to a Porsche dealer (with a $75 deductible) if I want to.

You're probably looking at 59-62k for this car since it has some decent options. I almost purchased one with the exact same options back in July for 65k at a Porsche dealer with CPO. If it were CPO'd I'd take it for 65-67k, and nothing more.

Thanks guys. The dealer will sell for 65,500 - I thought this was good until hearing lower numbers from all of you.

If you want to check it out go to villagemotorsports.com and search for Porsche. It is the atlas gray '06S.

I guess I'll wait to find one in the low 60's.

THANKS!!!

Mike,

The is a beautiful car and nicely optioned. I think $65,500 is an OK price, but I think you could definitely get it down to 62-63k. Don't give it on it, just bargain a little harder.

Two weeks ago I bought a documented, 15k mile 2006 C2S Cab for $68,500

CPO + Balance of new car warranty
Midnight Blue Metalic
Full, Supple Sand Biege Leather interior
Navigation
Sport Chrono
Power Seats
Bose
19" Sport Wheels
Heated Seats

It was private party and stickered at 105,000. The guy that inspected it was shocked at the rotors the were in such great condition. I've taken that to mean the previous owner didn't drive like a nut =)

I just picked my 05 C2S CAB up Fri. Its loaded 16k miles CPO and I got it for 67k. If yours is a coupe and its been on the lot for 6 months thats good leverage for you to get it for I say 62k or so. Let us know how you make out. I would pitch to them that you know its been sitting there for 6 months they HAVE to be dying to get rid of it.

Wow, let me say that is a GREAT price. Did you negotiate at all or was that the CarMax listed price (I thought you couldn't negotiate at KMX)?

I picked up an '06 C2S last month: seal gray, 23k miles, heated/power seats, bose, nav, 19" sports, colored wheel crest, 2 years of warranty left. Price was $61k (although it needed about $2k in reconditioning + rear tires were about halfway worn).

I tried to negotiate, but the salesman was having none of it. The great thing is the extended warranty that is good till 2014!

You did pretty good as well. Did you buy from a Porsche dealer?

Naw, I actually paid wholesale (went through Parin @ Chicago Motors to get a car over Manheim OVE). I thought my deal was pretty decent, but you've got 14k less miles and PSE for $1-2k less w/o negotiating. Now that's a steal! How long ago did you buy it and from what KMX location?

take a look at the picture of the driver's door from the left rear corner. The reflection is not sharp - but the left rear quarter panel is. Is this normal - or was the door repainted?
I don't want to raise an alarm, but something to verify too - gotta ask the questions.
