Market Value 1999 911

First post here, I have owned in the past quite a few pre 70's Porsches and now want to purchase a newer 911. Found basically exactly the car I want, it a 99, with aero, full leather, mesh factory 19's, ocean blue with tan leather interior, 6 speed, sport seats with power. Car has 48K miles on it, and has not had a RMS leak in the past, never even been hit. Nothing non factory on the car. What would something like this bring out here in San Diego. the car is a 10 out of 10 right now for the miles and its in the color and options that I want which I think is clouding my vision as to what it is worth. I hop eto put a deposit down today or tommorow and have it PPI's if I can find a price. thanks in advance.

I also have an Arctic Silver '99 with just less than 48k miles, a Cabriolet, near mint condition, Sports seats, Carbon shift & brake, full leather, Litronic lights, 18" wheels, Factory painted seat backs and console, Traction Control, ABD, OBC, Stainless door sills, silver gauges, factory hard top and 19 special exclusive options. I also had a new motor and complete clutch assembly installed this Spring with a 2 year warrenty. I looked for about 15 months and at many many cars before I found this one. It is very special to me and I savor every moment I drive it even having owned it nearly 3 years. NADA book price shows average retail as $41075 and I think if I was to sell it I would want more. My car is way above average condition and extremely heavily optioned and shows very well. I would want about $43k if I was to sell it. Most people here and on other boards will give you really low figures, and understandably so. An average '99 car shows lots of wear and tear and may have sustained abuse from several owners. These, not so special cars, usually bring less than NADA or KellY Blue Book pricing. I find thes cars usually sell for more out West also. Good Luck!

Well I just looked at this one at 33K$ and it is the cleanest porsche I have ever seen in my entire life, I looked at close to 30 911's today and it took the cake. I am going to go for it because its exactly the color and options I want. Wish me luck that the bank gets off there butts and actually does the loan.

19 inch rims were not available for 996 as factory option. So this car is not all factory original as claimed.

Good luck! 33 sounds like a good deal if the car checks out.

Weary, Any pics of the car online? Sounds like a nice one.

No way you will get a clean factory full aero car for that cheap. Buyer beware, even ebay can net quite a bit more than that.................................. Best of luck.

I will post pictures, the car is going to pioneer to have a PPi done this weekend and then its mine, the rims are 18's the seller was incorrect in his description, and they are the mesh looking sport rims. Lets see if I can post a picture.

Sounds like a beauty with a great color combo! Hope it all works out for you!

Just got off the phone, its a done deal 32K, pending inspection. Pictures are here. As I remember, The options are. Aero Pack Sport Seats ?(Do not remember) Sport wheels. ocean blue, carmel interior 6 speed, and if I remember correctly it has heated seats and dual controls but I am not to sure about the seats. Lights. some sort of factory exhaust, it might be just eh pipe covers though.

Microbe - the car looks very nice! I hope the PPI checks out for you. Good luck!

Exhaust tips look like the optional "Big Oval" tips.

congrats. No offense, but that is nowhere near "full leather" or even supple leather. I'm afraid the car was misrepresented to you, but nonetheless it looks okay otherwise (exterior). welcome to the elite 99 ocean blue/savanna beige club *_*

Sweet. why can't I find one on the east coast.

If you raise the front hood you will see a factory label on the underside with all the options listed. These are usually 3 digit codes that can be easliy deciphered.

Car looks nice same color combo as mine and same aero minus the atco wing on my car. However seats do not appear heated buttons would be on the bat wing for the dash which I don't see in the pics. Nice car, great color, good luck.

Thanks for all the reply's guys, the car goes in for PPI on Friday 10:30 and I will have the car that evening if everything goes well, at this point I am completely flipped out, 100% totally off my rocker. I don't think I could take looking for another one at this point if it has some major problem that I have not noticed. I was wandering around the used lots and keep second guessing myself, I personally cannot believe that it will be in my garage in under 48 hours. My wife thinks I am insane. Maybe I am but this is definitly not the unusal car, she keeps reminding me, I have ever purchased its just I have wanted a modern 911 for so long. Which is why I am sitting in front of the computer at 12:30, I am sure I am not the only one who has done this. I keep double checking that what little money I had to borrow is in the account ready to go, and i have already picked out a few upgrades that I would like to do in the short term. Any words of wisdom pass them on, I have spent ~4 hours digging through the past posts and looking at the RMS replacment protocol (these cars look moderately easy to work on). Just need to calm down and get some sleep, have not heard back from the seller. Also I have a buyer for my 356 outlaw so that means I will have a bit of cash to do the seats and I/E sooner then I though. Cliff's notes. Cannot wait, but second guessing myself. Spell check doe snot work on my Mac for some reason?

Weary, Great looking car, great price. I totally hope it checks out for you. I would take that car in a heartbeat.

It here, its here, O YOUR GOD, thats a fun car. Honestly I was dripping in sweat on the wya home I was so excited. So PPI checks out clean. Only one problem, the windsheild wiper sprayers do not work, when you hit the button it makes the car pee. What little oil that was on the bottom of the car was just spray from the road. They say I should get another 20K out of the clutch, which is ~4 years of driving for me. The tires, brakes and everything else was pretty much brand new. We did find out that the car had been painted hood/bumper/fenders, but it was to better then factory finish and by one of the best shops in town. (Amato.) Sat in a GT3 seat definitly going to order thoses and a few other odds and ends. got to change the oil this weekend. On that note how many miles before you are supposed to change the oil, it is synthetic.

My winshield sprayer did the same thing. Easy fix. Pull the driver's side fenderliner and the tube for the sprayer likely came off.

hood, fenders and bumper is a LOT of paint work.

Yep. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. My '99 required painting of the entire front end after collision repair ($12.5k damage), but the car looks infinitely better than before. It had accumulated a bunch of stone chips, a couple of which on the hood were quite noticable. And the bumper cover was really showing it's age. However, I admit that if the quality of the paintwork was less than perfect, I'd feel differently. Fortunately, the paintwork is exceptional; I'm repeatedly amazed by the paintwork. I realize my car will be worth less when I sell it (DMV settlement made me whole), but it looks fantastic.

The paint was only done for rock chips, no mechanical damage what so ever.

And Weary, The intent of my post was to state that IMHO, paintwork can be a very good thing. These cars are drivers, not collectibles with pretentions of display at Monterey.
