Soooo... how does another what's my car worth thread sound?

I'm not 100% interested in selling the car, just gauging what the current value for the car would be. It's a 2003 c4s with 130k on it. I have all receipts for everything done for the car from 30k until now. Probably return it back to stock form if I ever sold it, but that's irrelevant now. Light peppering of front bumper. Ims was changed out 10k ago. All fluids are fresh within the last year. Ln spin on filter adapter just put on in recent oil change. Carbon fiber door silks, shifter, e brake, and console. Sport exhaust. Let's hear some suggestions. Big money big money no whammies no whammies.

I bid $1 Bob.

$24k

SOLD! I'll take it in the form of iTunes gift card.

what about 12k check and 15k amazon credit? i think they are having a sale on 996tt's this week.

you really think that low? I was thinking maybe 26-27. Again just seeing ideas and thought.

Beautiful car... the mileage is extremely high... I would guess somewhere below $20k, based on what I see as asking prices on craigslist in Chicago... Cars with 60-80k miles are very low 20's... probably selling for less than that. Beautiful car, I really love how it looks. But 130k miles on a 996 is way over the moon for most buyers. My wife was looking for a 996 to buy, and she was pretty adamant that we not even look at cars with over 70,000 miles...

You're in the right ballpark. It just depends on how quickly you want to sell it. I think it would bring 26-27k on BAT if you waited until spring to list it.

1. how much did you pay for the car? 2. depreciate accordingly for mileage accrued/condition, etc. 3. compare to current market in your region/location. 4. voila...your list/asking price IOW, how much would you pay for this car if you were shopping/looking to buy?

Is the car a twin turbo? Confused...

cars.com lists a bunch of 2003 4s cars, with 90-100k miles... Cars with 60k miles are asking mid 20's... Asking prices from $8000 to $18000. One outlier asking 23,000? https://www.cars.com/for-sale/search...akamai-feo=off I hope you get a lot for your car, good luck!

$22,500

With 130k miles the market will be small, I'd say $22k if you're lucky. Want to sell it fast? $19k I see cars with 50K - 70k miles selling for under $25k. So with the higher mileage adjust accordingly.

Clean up your tailpipes and you'll get another $1K. Final selling point on a car is how it looks, and those are a mess. Spray some Goo B Gone on those and wipe em clean.

I say 20k on a real good day. The mileage is the problem.

I just bought an 02 C4 with l08,500 for 20,000. Not an S and a year older but it might help.

C4S's bring a premium because they are the sexiest 996 and there is a perceived performance improvement.

mite a older picture. They've been cleaned since then, but thanks for the googone tip.

With 130k I'm guessing $20k tops. I've got a 2002 with 86k and doubt I could get more than $22k for it and I just dumped $5k in preventative maintenance this past spring.

ur car is a C2

Friend just bought a 40K 03 C4S in Cobalt Blue. Excellent overall condition - but Tiptronic. Paid around 28. That was top dollar, but a very good car.

Map what you're saying is a tip car, no carbon interior, no documentation of maintenance, curbed wheels... is worth that much? Maybe down in Florida for a A-typical old man living down there who wants to feel 50 again. It's cool though, I'm not offended. This particular car market (911) is so annoying because it's all over the plac.

Not trying to offend or step on your feet, but no matter how much you think your car is worth, the market has the last word. See the attached image of recently sold 996 C4S cars. This is what you're up against and most of these cars had well under 100K miles. And, this is the eBay market, the dealer market is another beast to overcome when it comes to getting top dollar for you car. I used to hate to hear the old expression, "It's not what you put in it, but what you can get out of it". But unfortunately, when it comes to car sales, it's very true. For example, I purchased an classic ol' GMC truck for $1500 and put $5000 in fixing' it up (i.e. replaced fender, restored interior, engine tuneup, and repaint). It sold for $7,000. I thought it could be worth more like $10K to $12K on the national market, but people wanted Chevy more than GMC apparently even though they were basically the same thing. A lesson learned.

no no no not offended at all. The mileage I know kills me. Just the price we pay for having the bastard 911. I still love mine. I was just gauging information about it.

^^^ That black one sold on October 10 for $24,900. Then, one quite similar to it sold on October 10 for $25,000. Then, one that was pretty similar to it sold on October 10 for $25,000.

Have you checked KBB? Might be a real eye opener!

blue book is actually 17K. bank will not finance a potential buyer for more than that. so your looking at a cash buyer. I don't see a cash buyer at 24K for 130K miles. Your most likely looking at about 20K or 19K

I think there are a lot of factors to consider when selling your car and determining what it's worth. Ofcourse the market will play the greatest factor in setting your price. However, there are things like the history of the vehicle, the overall condition, maintenance records, etc. These all play just as important a role. I think what many people overlook is that a buyer is making their decision based on how the seller presents themselves as much as the car does. I would never buy a car from a guy who has no idea what he's selling or hasn't really taken an interest in maintaining the car. With all that being said, I would place your sale price somewhere between $22k - $24k.
