I just checked KBB for a '99 911, and my jaw is on the floor.

Herb Chambers Porsche of Boston has a 1999 Carrera Coupe 6 speed with only 31k miles for $21,900. Don't know the options but thought this was and outstanding price for a 99 with only 31k miles especially coming from a Porsche dealer.
I just checked KBB for a '99 911, and my jaw is on the floor. I realize that KBB has been coming in low for 996's - but when I specified a '99 with 31K miles, KBB suggested a price range of $13,595 to $15,888. WTF?
Yeah KBB values have been showing way lower than any asking prices I've seen.
I know a good Indy mechanic down the street from Herb Chambers, in Brighton (Boston) if you need a PPI. German Performance Service, owned by Marc Feinstein. Great guy, great mechanic. Went to high school with him.
+996. Generally I've found NADA to be more accurate for enthusiast cars like older Porsches and BMW's.
As for the Boston deal, show them the KBB price and negotiate the $13.5k price WITH a 2yr warranty thrown in. Yeah right...
I bought my car from Herb Chambers in Boston. She was used and sitting on the showroom floor. While it was a dream come true, the "deal" was somewhat anti-climatic. They were asking absolute top dollar, given the low miles............thankfully there were 2 others, similarly equipped in the Greater Boston area, at that time. One on the South Shore at Rietzel, one up North in Danvers, MA. The competition was the single biggest factor in negotiation a price that I could live with to do the deal with Herb Chambers. So, find some local, direct competition from Danvers, South Shore or even Nashua, NH and give it your best shot. My .02
