Besides the usual want for more (gt3 or turbo) I am extremely satisfied with my 2006 c4s. I have roughly 18 more payments before its paid for and I am now considering setting her free to speed up future plans. I am planning to move south before the end of 2016 and I am not sure if I should hold on to my first pcar and bring with me on this journey or make room for the next.
I had also had an accident about 2 years ago that was covered by insurance and completely repaired and there is no problems with the car but the history now that makes me wonder how much I could sell for.
I am at 57K and ready for rear tires, always serviced by dealer. I guess my next step is see what you the dealer will give me, but I am assuming that I would be better selling private.
I am also ready to just keep her if the hit is to much to justify.
What to do?

 

Basic KBB says 32k in VGC, thru private seller. You may have other options that will raise the value some but that's a good starting point.

 

High mileage (for a 911), accident and wrong time of the year to sell. You might want to wait until spring to sell because that's the only factor you can control at this point. Otherwise you won't get much for it especially through a dealer. I don't see any collectible value the way you described it so why keep it if you want something else.

 

Hold until late Spring, detail the heck out of it, replace tires and sell on the private market. Some times it makes sense to trade it in if the numbers work. Most of the time they work better in a private party deal. KBB is a starting point. You need to look at local inventory to gauge an accurate price.

 

Well, if youre keeping it, it will likely need some $$$$ in maintenance at those miles. My guess is its a $35-37K car on a dealers lot after reconditioning.






Id drive it a few more years after its paid off and enjoy it. Sell it between 80 and less than 100K miles privately.


Good luck with your move !!

 

Bought at 42k with 2 year cpo and had as many repairs done during that time - rack n pinion, master clutch cylinder, coolant tank, and rms seal.
I would defiantly wait for spring and understand kbb is not very realistic when it comes to pcars

 

Amazing that 5k a year is considered high mileage lol
I could care less about collecting but appreciate rare beauties- give me a gt3rs crashed that can be fixed and driven with out worrying about miles a resale and I would be happy

 

Yes 50K mile on a 911 is considered high mileage because it's all relative. Plenty of low miles 997 out there. My 2006 has 22K miles

 

You have 18 payments left. Can you get this paid off in a couple or few months time and then live payment free? Then put money you would be putting into the payments on the new car (assuming you will have them since you do now) into some performance mods - as long as the car is sound mechanically. Why not remove the car note payment and then spend the money on improving your current ride when and if you want to? It won't turn into a GT3, but you can make it more of what you want.

Just another way to look at it.

 

This was the first car I've had that I felt I did not need to change anything on it. I'm sure with time I could find things to do but I appreciate it stock.
No payments was the original plan but with a move coming up it would be one less thing to think about and some extra $ to have in hand.
Or of course it could be a great car paid for I. The garage of my new home.
Thanks for the suggestion
