To be honest, I'm kind of scratching my head wondering a bit as well. I still get inquiries every single day, but most all are either out of state, not ready to buy just yet, or just looking to low ball.

I've only had 1 guy actually come over to see the car, and that was the guy with the pissed off wife that didn't want him to buy a Porsche at all. Oh well, no huge rush...it only takes one serious buyer. It gives me time to think about what car that I want to buy as a replacement...

 

Perhaps I see a Gallardo in the near future! Good luck with your sale!

 

Such a clean car! Argh I wish I could hurry up and receive my tax rebate check from buying my house already, the sooner I do that the sooner I can start shopping

 

Believe me, if I could rationalize this I would be flying to you right now. You have exactly what I'd like, but alas, no family support for me. In the meantime, bump for you. I'm trying to wear my wife down - who knows, if it works, and you still have the car, maybe we'll meet soon!

 

what would you consider a lowball on this?

 

I would consider a low ball offer one that is $5K or more below my asking price. I've received over a dozen offers between $35-$39K already.

 

You should take the $39k and be done - there are several local to me with asking prices in the mid 30s, although with more miles and not as nice as yours. If you can get 95% of your asking price, take the money and run.

 

The two people that offered $39K did not seem very genuine in their offers as they wouldn't even respond to my attempts at further discussion. I don't want to deal with shady offers.

Plus, anyone who just tosses out a number without even talking to me about the car at all, or even seeing it will most definitely want to hard bargain it even lower.

Keep in mind that even the warranty can be cashed out for nearly another $2K right now if desired.

 

You're making me want to sell my S5, haha.

 

Well I have been considering either a Mercedes SL55 (never had a convertible before) or an Acura NSX (2002 or newer) since I always liked that car.

 

e46 m3 for a trade maybe?

 

I had a 1995 NSX-T - it's the only car I ever sold that I wish I hadn't. Probably the easiest "supercar" to own as far as reliability and maintenance.

I'm sort of embarrassed to admit it, but I'm also thinking of buying a new 2010 Camaro. I've never had a big V8 muscle car before, and the new Camaro and Challenger look pretty good. I know I'll get a lot of grief from my friends for selling my Porsche 996Turbo for a Camaro!

After 7 years with a 996/996TT, I'm just ready for something totally different...(that will still be a good daily driver like the 996)

 

I've had 3 nsx's prior to the 996 turbo, a 91, 97 and 02. They are great cars, I still want to get another one, however they are very underpowered. But the handling and looks are great, plus the interior of the 02+ nsx's are much better quality than the 996s.
