I think given the mileage, unique color, options, condition, and installed "solution" it's "worth" at least 24k$.

Suspected cause
Yes you can certainly get 996s cheaper than what this car should sell for and if a buyer can't be found that understands what separates this from most other "similar" 996s, then it's indeed probably a $20k car.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well the time has come to let the cabriolet become a weekend/fairer weather car. My better half just loves the cab with the top down and really dislikes coupes. That having been said, a coupe has it's pluses for a daily driver and autocross toy.
I've met a gentleman who has a '99 that's he's owned since it was 3 months old. He has a 4 car collection and is rarely driving the 996. It's been given a clean bill of health by my indy and has a new clutch, rms, LN Solution by certified installer and runs really well. No bore scoring (by borescope from top and bottom), runs strong, no leaks. We just need to arrive at a fair price and I'd appreciate some help with this.
The options sticker is pretty full and the car is in good shape overall with the to-be-expected wear and tear for an 18 year old.

Sonderwunsch program (literally "special wishes") can include special paint colors, leather dyed to sample, etc so I suppose it's an unknown without the Porsche COA.
What does the collective think it's worth in US or Canadian $? I want to make a fair offer as it'ds a pretty cool car.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
20-25k USD imo, that's a nice car. The market may not appreciate all the odds & ends but it really hits what I want personally (Solution, M030, LSD, litronics, etc.).
Well, I'll be a little bit of a downer on price. I'd say US $16,000 would be stealing it. Probably wouldn't go more than US $20,000. But, if you really like it, then paying a premium above $20k would not be a horrible idea.
Too bad it doesn't have a leather interior.....or is an interior.
Nice car......I would say $20K would be fair. If you want to pay more, as much as $24K, you'd be happy!
US price.
I'll go on the high end and say it's a $24k car if it hits the buttons for you.
Effectively a one owner car. Obviously well cared for. Solution from a certified installer. Looks to be in mint condition. Nice list of options.
I'd pass as I hate the interior color with a passion (second only to the beige!) and I'm super spoiled by having an extra heard of cattle in ours, but it's a very compelling car.
I think it's easier to sell in person than online which makes it entirely dependent on your local market's interest in 996s. It is simply a stunning color that pictures rarely do justice to.
We identified on the Vegas trip that we need to know more about factors that can dramatically sway the value of a 996, such as whether the fuel tank is full or empty, before pricing can be determined.
I agree. In person it is spectacular. In photos it's an odd purple-ish tone. A trick of the camera for sure.
Can't disagree here either. To me it's the worst option. Bland and plastic grey.
Don't know how full the tank is but I'll be sure to negotiate that into the purchase.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I've been thinking $28k Cdn (+/- 21k US) so I think we're on track. Time will now tell.
By all means, please post up all of these cars with ~40k miles, long option lists, clean condition, well cared for, effectively single owner cars with certified Solution installations.
Yes you can certainly get 996s cheaper than what this car should sell for and if a buyer can't be found that understands what separates this from most other "similar" 996s, then it's indeed probably a $20k car.
This is not a car for the "I want a cheap 911" owner. This is a car for someone that loves the 996 and appreciates this specific car. If it is not "the" car for you, then paying a premium would certainly be silly. As I said, I think $24k is a reasonable price for it, but not one I'd pay as it is not "the" car for me.
So when I limit that to 99-04 with a 6MT and top out at 50k miles, only 3 hits come back. 2 04 Cabs for $35.5k and $37k and an 03 Coupe for an undisclosed price.
I fail to see how that supports your claim of being able to get the target of this thread in Miami for $15-19k "all day long". And that's before we even get to discussions about their histories and options.
if the seller let this go for 18k I think he would be doing himself a disservice... I think given the mileage, unique color, options, condition, and installed "solution" it's "worth" at least 24k$. Ultimately though, the car is only worth what someone is willing to pay...
if this car were available in the US and to PCA members I imagine it would get at least 22k
Getting the clutch/RMS/IMS done at certified installer could easily come in at $7-$9K. I think $20K is fair prior to the work, I'd split the PM and pay $23K - $24K. I'm personally not into Mk 1's, I'd probably pay more if I was.
I'm with the majority on this one. The car looks well cared for and maintained. You can buy a lesser car for 17k, or even much less, like I did, spend money and time to get everything right, and be in it close to 20k in the end. Or, you can buy this car for a modest premium up front, and drive it. I think you would be getting a great deal in the high teens and a good deal in the low twenties.
Your serial number is not too far off mine, so I am assuming it is a mid to late 1998 build, which I think is a plus.
Easy 24k for it. I looked for a long time to find a perfect similar car and paid 21K with 80,000 miles.
I agree with the earlier posts saying that the cheaper ones aren't comps for this car.
I said earlier in the tread that it's not worth much private or trade value. Worth to one is definitely different from one to the next. Me personally I think the car is worth whatever there asking if it's what you want 100% . Don't buy the wrong color combination just because it's in your face. Don't buy a coupe if you like the idea of a cab. If your thinking you want to track the car, then look for something someone has put the parts to. If you want a low mileage car then don't consider anything less. If you will right down what you want your 996 to be in your eyes, then find that car. Be most concerned about your want and needs.
