Thoughts on this 996?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-...item2a03e3172c Not ruling the 996 out just yet. This one is just 3 hours from my house. What are your thoughts. Also, a C4 with 86,000 miles (a black 99 with sport seats) popped up too for $16,500. That might be worth it. Drive the crap out of it then dump an X-51 in there. Decisions.....

I think since it looks like a dealers car you'ld be better off haggling at the dealer. Ebaying the car like they have means they are trying for the best price. Would be intersting to see what they figure is the reserve price. What would you think a dealer would put as a reserve? Yah pretty high probably unless they want to dump it. I think bid now is higher than what you could haggle at the dealers.

I like the white personally. Not too common, maybe tougher to sell than a black one. The black interior is a good match. I wonder what options it has. The 99 models were available with LSD (option 220). Mileage is low though eh? That's often times not great for these cars (apparantly). Yeah..decisions. I like that one myself. What's an extra $2K on a $20K car anyway. I'd be shopping the car and not the price at that point.

You live in Vegas? I wouldn't want a black car in the desert sun.... I like that white one, except for the comfort seats, I prefer the standard leather seats which don't show the wear so much..... The white one just needs some 18's with some spacers and ditch the pumpkins, and you'd be rollin'.... You can call the dealer and ask the reserve price, I've had them tell me before.

I have one you can do that to - and I will deliver it

That looks nice. Will be curious where the auction ends... and what the reserve is. If you like white, there is a sweet looking C4 on Craigslist up in Nor Cal. I will try to post a photo and then link below.

Even though I own a black C2, I'd lean towards the white 911. The low miles are tempting, but lack of use(low miles) may contribute to some much discussed 996 ailments, ie. RMS etc. If price is your biggest determinator, then the black 911 with 86k on the odometer might be your best fit. GL and let us know which you might buy.

Here is another link to the dealer. They are a Porsche dealer so that may be a plus. But look at the asking price, $32,000! The interior is not black but rather metropole blue. As for options, it looks like it has auto AC, supple leather, delete ashtray, rear wiper, heated seats and hi-fi sound. I'll give them a call today and see what is going on. I'll keep you posted. http://www.deserteuropean.com/detail...-19I1259592128

$32K is absurd. Regardless of condition.

The White one is kind of like mine. Same color interior. Very nice low millage and nice price.... The White one is my choice.. IMHO..

It looks like a very nice low mileage 1999. Not a lot of options and very similar to my car I just sold. Forget what the ad price says call the dealer they will negotiate or they are crazy. This car with the 21k miles should fetch 23-26k all day long but nothing over 26k(and I think this is too much to pay IMHO), Car must be clean title and no accidents and in pristine condition with nothing needed. At 26k they should offer 2 year warranty included. 23/24 w/o max

Beautiful 99 example! 32K or not, if you like it, buy it. You will not regret it!

It's so easy spending 'your' $, come on, what are you waiting for. Can prices get any more affordable?

Just got off the phone with the dealer. They say it is sold. Perhaps it is a bait and switch ad?

Not likely. If bait and switch the idea is to get you to visit the dealership so the dealer/salesman can offer you the switch when it just so happened the car (the bait) sold just before you arrived. The idea is not to get you to make a phone call. No car dealer, car salesman wants to try to sell a car over the phone. They want you in front of them to work their "magic". Don't worry and don't spend any more time thinking about what was or could have been. Better safe than sorry. Remember: There is always another car. Stay focused on finding the perfect car for you. Sincerely, Macster.

Dealers usually take a while to get their webmasters to update their listings.

I thought I saw a hot 2005 C4S for sale somewhere....just can't remember where

here is one like it - looks like a nice car LINK Let me know if you want me to go have a look at it for ya

Too funny. That's the car I posted above. Apparently they are posting in Craigslist all over the place but the car is here in Nor Cal. I don't like white but that car has me thinking....

its a little plain for me - sorry for not looking closer.... I didnt even look where it was located A.D.D. LOL

Gray is my least favorite interior color. but thanks for thinking of me. You sure do not see those rims pop up that often though.

There is someone here who has them and IIRC wanted to get rid of them... I think they are cool !

www.searchtempest.com A great site that aggregates Craigslist ads from around the country. Several times I have noticed the same car in more than one place with different contact info for each listing. Usually in FL.
