I drive the car daily so I like it as is and wouldn't change anything I have done to it.

I'd pay extra if it was a well kept car and felt tight on the test drive(s).
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.

What is a fair price for a '99 996 C2 with 50k miles? The car in question is a 2 owner, Silver with full Boxster Red leather interior; 17" rims with new tires; completely stock except for a Fabspeed exhaust (original included as well); no accidents; always dealer serviced; and never tracked.
Thanks for your opinions.
Mike
I'm looking for a similar car...except G-Red. I hope to buy it for around $30K but expect to actually spend between $31K - $33K. Seems to be the going rate.
mark
With that level of options and the mileage, you should be looking between $30K-$33K. I just bought a 1999 C2 with many more options from the factory and 30K miles for $34.5K in September, so they are out there.
I have been debating selling mine. It has about 4 pages of mods done to it. I am thinking about 40k. I know it seems high but considering I factored the mods at 1/3 my cost not retail I think it's a pretty good deal. I would actually like to have people comment on what a fair value would be as I think I am selling it maybe a couple grand too cheap or too much.
Sean
Nice looking car...but I would be suprised if you sell it for $40K. With a modded car, you have to find that very select buyer who wants the same mods you have done and is willing to pay a premium for them. You'd be better off taking off the mods and selling them on ebay and listing the car for the market price (lower $30's).
Good luck...
Mark
I agree but I am in no rush. I am absolutely not interest in taking off the mods and selling them although I am well aware that it is usually a more profitable avenue. I drive the car daily so I like it as is and wouldn't change anything I have done to it. Further I have found with P cars the "selective buyer" is usually a much larger group than for other cars. Also the mods I have done are the most desireable and hence cater again to a larger audience.
There is also additional value to those looking for a car more truly a sports car that are the newer 996's. With RWD and LSD and the abilty to turn off traction control, the 99 C2 is the last porsche that has no computer controlling the way you drive. The more current models are full of crap that eliminates the need, as well as the abilility in some cases, to drive the car within the skill level of the driver. The additional weight in the new models are cool too. But, since there are so many poor drivers on the road that like to have more horsepower, it's the way of the future. I suspect, soon, all tracks will install rails to enable even the poorest of drivers to compete, safely.

you guys think

That sounds like a good deal. I have come across a few with a similar price but always got there a day or two late. If it has a clean PPI, I'd say go for it. Does it have option code 220 (LSD)? If it does, and you pass on it for some reason (other than it being a POS), let me know.
Mark
Hey K964;
28k seems a bit much for a "Lexus" type Porsche who's value has dropped faster than when the Hindenberg fell from the sky. I'd shoot for the mid 20's to offset the embarrasement you'll experience when showing the 996 to friends.
Good Luck!
I'll buy every 1999 C2 you can find that is in great condition with 50,000 or less. LSD and leather interior without a bad history for mid $20,000's. Let me know every one you find and I'll ****** them up. What a steal that would be.
28K is a good price if everything checks out. Yes the value of the 996 has dropped off sharply (pretty much like every high end sports car/luxury car that was ever created) and someday in the future the cost of a 1999 996 will drop to what an excellent condition 968 goes for these days.
But if you want to be driving a 996 instead of watching them go by 28K ain't a bad price.
I believe the 99 996 with LSD, mechanical throttle and defeatable traction control, it makes for the 993 purist whos seeking a newer car but retaing the very enjoyment and performance of a 911 with LSD, throttle and traction control.
