I think this is the one for me.

09 - midnight blue - 27k recent service - new tires - no warranty. After good PPI what's a fair price? Has everything but adaptive seats

Thanks

 

Nice car, need more detail on options (full leather, PASM, PDK, etc.?). Private Party sale, original owner, service records?

SWAG, I'd say $55-58K.. Thoughts?

 

Yes to all - Private - all records.

 

Nice! Pushing over $60K now, IMHO. Good luck, keep us posted.

 

That's a great looking car. Good luck with the PPI and keep us posted on what you end up doing

 

my two cents...options mean something only to buyers. They mean nothing relative to value. Seller might as well have a bare bones car, because that's typically what the market brings him when he sells it. As a buyer, if you're paying for a bare bones car, options are a bonus! I have learned this three times with P-cars, both on the buying and on the selling side.

 

thx for the replies folks -

good point Domer - i tend to agree - any thoughts on a fair price for this one? Options notwithstanding

 

$60 to $63.

 

57-60

 

I would think between $60-65k. Nice car!

 

Thanks again all. First Porsche so a bit uncertain - not wanting to walk away from a good thing (if it even is).

I'm not even positive I need a cab - but think I'd rather try it and know, than get a coupe and wonder.

I've been combing listings everywhere - over and over - and the only constant is prices are all over the place.

There is a 2011 cab S - black over tan - Chrono - CPO - clean Carfax from a reputable Porsche dealer asking $70k.

Then I see many 2009 cab S ranging from 57 to $80k. Half the cars are so overpriced I don't even want to bother - how do you offer someone 15k less than they're asking?!

Then the whole - "buy the newest car you can afford" - well...I'd "like" to be around 70k but... I could go GTS for $80k (missed that deal by a day), or squeeze out a 2011 CPO for high 60's, or an awesome 09/10 for low 60's. Lest we forget the 08 TTs out there for ~$80k...

I don't have a perfect car in mind - I know I want PDK and not green or red - and I'd like to fend off depreciation a bit - so 2012+ is out - that's about it = way too many possibilities.

Anyway - the fun is in the search - I can wait a couple months if I have to - but having just sold my car - I can't wait 2 years for the "perfect" car to show up. Maybe Jan/Feb gets more aggressive pricing? NorCal is season free...

Cheers

 

From my little experience shopping for a 2009 thru 2011 997.2 Coupe (PDK, Chrono, Full Leather, uograded Bose, etc.), was that mileage was the biggest price differentiator, more than year the car was manufactured. I wound up buying a 2009 because it was the color I wanted, had low mileage (11,000 miles), ridiculously clean, had Porsche warranty left, had most of the important options I wanted and it was local which made it a lot easier from a logistical standpoint.

End result - I Love driving my first P-Car and it looks great too!

 

Well - my offer wasn't enough. Moving on to the next candidate

2010 S Cab Blk/Blk - with 14k - remaining warranty - and full leather , adaptive sport seats, chrono plus, PSE, black gauges (my pref),etc etc. MSRP = 124k. Indy dealer this time - $73k ask - I think 68-70 is very fair here (yes?) - a bit more if needed - PPI of course. Will check it out tomorrow. Crossing my fingers on this one. Hopefully not another 1 day romance...pix only if it works out - otherwise this thread will look like Auto Trader =)

 

I stay away from Indy Dealers, but it sounds like a nice car. I know to many that are shady, I would get references.

Good luck!!!!!

 

Agree completely - vast majority of them are - checked him out. Nice indoor shop - many high end cars - very straightforward - clean title and carfax - PPI tomorrow - 11 mos of warranty left. Car started

Not sure what else I can do -

Should be parked in my garage tomorrow
