Bump with new pricing...

 

Matt, I'll give you a free BUMP, Your car is beautiful but it is about $10,000.00 to high on the Retail side of www.kbb.com. Good Luck though Bro. with your sell. This was to help you in your bumping efforts.

 

The 98 S's 993 are priced fairly in the $45 to $54k range. KBB knows nothing about how soughtafter these cars are. You are wrong in saying that he is $10k off by just doing a kbb search. Seems like an ok deal to me. IMO (and many others) these cars are worth much more than any non TT or C4S 996. Do some reaserch son.

 

^ O.K. Dad, Everything is for sale at what the market will bear. I can see by your Avatar that your opinion is truly objective. By what means does the average buyer use to place valuations on automobiles? Hmmmm. maybe KBB, Edmunds, cars.com autos.com) not necessarily what the market will bear. If It's that good of a deal buy it then SON!!!!

 

I am actually not in the market for another 993. Anybody that was, and knows what they are talking about (not sure if you are or do) would see the value here. The last year of production air cooled "S" cars bring more $ than KBB, Edmunds or Cars.com will tell you. Check Autotrader.com, Excellence and Panorama ads etc as these cars are truly rare before you go busting somebody's ***** about their price being $10k off.

This car looks amazingly kept and upgraded. I'm sure $50k is on the high side of C2S but if someone is in the market of one, it's about as good as it gets. I'm tempted.... Too bad I have a 996 already. Oh man!

 

One of my all time favorates. If i didn't have my 996 already....DANG!

 

KBB is a joke when it comes to pricing all wide body 993's. In most cases they are 10k under actual selling prices. I think this C2S is priced correctly with all the mods. Good Luck

 

See how easy that was Matt, You got all the bumps you needed without breaking any rules of the forum... Never intended to bust anybodys *****, just tried to give the guy a free bump to cover his ***!!!! Didn't figure you would understand Son!
