Hi guys, I need some opinions from people that know.., I have a 2006 C4s with 40k on the clock. It gets waxed semi monthly and is always garaged. It is a daily driver and is in pristine condition. No mods other than clear bra and window tint. I have been hankering for a ragtop and need to know what you guys think I can get for the car. No door dings, no curb rash, no accidents, no fender benders. 6 speed.

Thanks for your input

 

I would think mid/low 40s?

 

I would agree. Low 40's with 40k on the odo.

 

Depends heavily on what other packages you have(sport seats, chrono, NAV etc), for a loaded car with good maintenance records, I would pay 45-48k(just my opinion )

 

Exactly what Im looking for!...color? options? location? pictures please!

 

The car is loaded. Unless I am incorrect, all C4s' came fully loaded with nav, power everything, Bose with 13 speakers, etc etc etc... Mine has leather but not on the dash. I had the Dension iPod adapter connected to the Bose system by the dealership and in dash you can play one cd at a time as well.

 

^ not the case....all those things are still options and not a "given" even with the C4S cars

 

I stand corrected. Mine has the 13 speaker Bose, nav, full power leather seats both driver and passenger, sport chrono, black on black, 19 inch lobsters with p-zero's not yet to wear bars, tires are loud though, I hear Michelin is a quieter tire, clutch replaced by dealership before I bought it at 30k miles. Still has 18 months left on full extended warranty I purchased, all services performed by dealership. No major issues at all. It has been bullet proof thus far.

 

Wholesale Bluebook = $48, Retail Bluebook = $56. Give or take a few thousand for individual judgement (that's in good condition, add $2 to wholesale for excellent condition and deduct for new tires).

 

Wow, higher than the original two estimates. This is a tough crowd. :-)

 

If by BLUEBOOK you mean KBB...my experience tells me their pricing is really out of wack, sometimes good sometimes bad lol

Nonetheless as the old saying goes "it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it"

 

+1 on its only worth what someone will pay for it. I know dealers are very short on used car inventory - take it to your local Porsche dealer and see what they offer as an outright wholesale buy amount. This will give you a number to start with.

 

Thanks to everyone for your responses. As always .., this forum is enlightening. I have decided to sell at the 53k range based on condition of the car. Again.., thank you for your input.

 

When the dealer sells you the car, then they will bring out the KBB value and tell you how much it's worth. Then when you try to trade in your car and tells them it's worth this amount per KBB. They tell you nobody uses KBB anymore.

Your old saying is correct.


Check out autotrader.com to see what it's selling for. $53K for a 2006 C4S with 40K miles is fair but not great so if you stick to that price, it will take awhile to sell. For those who say low 40's, share some of that stuff you are smoking. . Prices on the 997 has gone up.

 

53k will be a fast sell. assuming it in in great condition, you should ask for 55k and settle for 53k at least

used market is red hot. check ebay and craigslist as a reference. KBB value is often much lower than market.
