The key has to be used because the car goes to sleep and remote does not work until you unlock physically with the key.

Suggestion
So at this point on the record-setting run (1 day before auction,) the bidding war had already begun between charlieincharge and Alwalk1 and the car was up to $25,000 in no time.

Suggestion
Wonder if the key lost it's "pairing" and physical unlock was used for a while?
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.

Must be nice to be able to throw that kind of money away!
Wow! Almost $38k and now he's looking to "dump it" ? I would think at that price, it'd be a "keep it forever" car... I wonder what the reserve is set at? Even if it goes to $18-$20k he's looking at a $20k hit for 1 year of ownership
Whoever buys it better get a good listen to the engine, along with some good photo's of the cylinder bores
Very High 20's early 30's is what a 220 equipped, full leather, 1999 with full records can go for on BAT when the market is good and a good color combo. Throw in Boxter red interior and super low miles and I can see that the price paid makes sense.
With the market how it is right now he is probably looking at 27-30k.
So at this point on the record-setting run (1 day before auction,) the bidding war had already begun between charlieincharge and Alwalk1 and the car was up to $25,000 in no time. We are currently sitting at $17,500 on the present auction.
On the record setter auction - charlieincharge was the guy who kept bidding against everyone else, different bidders jumping in to challenge him, jasekro (seller) being the last of them. So far the current auction has no charlieincharge in sight and no bidder as earnest as him.
Goes to show you what a single determined buyer can do to an auction price...
Sold for 29k! My car is optioned the same (actually, better because of mine has alu look gauges) and I would gladly take 29k for it! Granted, mine has nearly 100k miles and is not quite as pristine...
Yes. Typically only found on some 1999s and the 40AE cars.
My 1999 is a low option car, but it did come with M030, 220, and 222, which was the "Sport Package" option at the time. The sport package did include the sport seats, but the original owner of my car swapped them out with Euro GT3 seats prior to delivery. The only other option was a 6 disk CD changer.
So he paid 6k for 1.5 years/3k miles of enjoyment. I suspect that he though the very low miles would mean appreciation, but those days are not here yet.....
That is good money, this time, for that car considering the interior! The previous auction was a apparently a fluke or just bidding insanity. Wife just to be an antiques dealer and we would go to lots of auctions. I occasionally got caught up in bidding wars that when done I had overpaid. Still have a lot of those items...
Geez, I can relate to that.
We had designed/layout our sportsman's retail store with antiques, first couple auctions my wife overpaid for everything, getting caught up in bidding.
Then I went along, and did the same thing
I think there is a belief here that 996s are not worth much more than 20k (
Even if it goes to $18-$20k he's looking at a $20k hit for 1 year of ownership). Low mileage 996s consistently exceed 25k and this was a well optioned very low mile example. I think 30k is the sweet spot. My own 2004 C2 (
my 996 for sale
) has generated several cash offers in the 26-27k range, I just am not that motivated to sell below 28k, and in fact just raised my price from $28 to 30k. The days of bargains on low mileage 996s is probably over.
It is likely the car sits locked more than 7 days at a time before being driven. The key has to be used because the car goes to sleep and remote does not work until you unlock physically with the key.
So, basically you�re saying you don�t want to sell your car. Your car is modded, few options, and yellow. I like those things, but they will severely restrict your pool of potential buyers.
Looks nice, maybe you�ll find a buyer at that price if you�re willing to wait a while.
That�s exactly what he is saying. I have seen way better cars for that price. The wheels are awful too. I would take 27k in millisecond if I were him. People for some reason don�t like yellow 996�s. That car would be 25k on bat probably less. I am one who always is pro seller, top dollar, 996 apologist,as well.
"

Only mods are wheels and intake (and I have original intake)
Few options, but it has the rare Aerokit so that adds a lot of value
Yellow is surely an issue for some, agreed.
I can wait, no need to sell.
P.S. "The wheels are awful too." Funny I get compliments on them all the time.
If I don't get what I want I will keep and enjoy.
Here’s the options list on my ‘99. If anyone offered me north of $25k id sell it so fast it’d make your head spin. I’m not saying it’s worth it, but curious if the options are that rare.
