Suggestion
I don't think the asking price is way out of line if it's a clean 99'.What do you think of the price?
Leading evidence: 'Clean 99'.what do you think of the price' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean 99'.what do you think of the price' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Looking at a 99 996 c2... not highly optioned... current milage is at 61k... second owner car from previous lease.. has owned for past 7 years.... new engine at 30k miles due to rms... clean title with records since owned... recently new overflow tank... ppi came back clean... what would you guys pay for the car... owner asking $23k.
i wish i could pay $14k for it but i doubt he would sell it 9k below his asking price.. its a dark blue car with tan interior... its very clean and i do like the new engine installed at 30k miles especially after reading all the stories on here... it does have the litronics, cd changer, tape deck that folds down...

notice OBO, been on CL for awhile and is 10x the car of that 99 for only a few g's more or maybe the same price it you hit them in the right day
I say $20K as well. The new motor makes it worth buying.
I almost bought a super low option 99 with a new motor earlier this year for $22K but I bought a low option 02 with a new(ish) motor for $26K instead.
No regrets buying the MkII car. It's a really good car. Not just good for what it is, it's just really good. I love my 996.
Probably about $21K. The guy that said $14K is full of crap. If a 99-01 exists for under $15K, it probably has high miles, or needs serious work. If I am wrong, show some examples. I wonder what makes some of us pricing experts, anyway? I actually owned a 99 C2 Cab, so I think I know something, maybe not much
I don't think it's reasonable to expect a 996 that doesn't need serious work for under $15k at any miles. I've been looking at the market (nationally) for over a year... I'd say $17-18k is the low side, and most of those cars will need some things. The car in question will probably sell for the low $22-23k range. I sold my mechanically solid 9x,xxx mile 1999 car for $22.5k, with some extras a couple of months ago.
I actually sold it twice at that price. The first buyer had to back out due to a family emergency.
I think
condition of the car
, ownership records, and maintenance records are a large factor in what a car will sell for.
I had one guy call me a couple of weeks after the first buyer backed out, telling me what the Kelley blue book appraisals were and all that, and that his research indicated my car should sell in the low 20's. I told him I had already had the car sold at my asking price, so I thought it was priced fairly and left it at that.
He called me back two days later. I had sold the car the day before, at my asking price.
Sure was a damn good car.
Sadly for 996 sellers, August prices are not December prices. My car's asking price dropped $3k in the month of November - before I began negotiating the final price.
Now that I think of it, I sold the 996 in mid October. August was when I sold my house. Too much sellin goin on around here.
Anyway, there are a lot of factors that enter into what a specific car sells for in addition to the ones I listed above. For example, some sellers are motivated to sell quickly, some aren't.
I also had to lower my price to get my car sold. I lowered it a couple of times, and at $25.9k it sold. Twice.
Just because a 996 sells on Ebay for $18k doesn't mean that every 996 is only worth $18k.
Anyone trying to sell a Porsche in the Winter is a strongly motivated seller.
But it's silly trying to put a price on most Porsches based solely on a Craigslist ad. Clutch, RMS, brakes and tires? Oops, your $17k bargain is now $22k. Higher mileage? Then add another couple of $k for suspension.
Nothing is more expensive than a deferred-maintenance Porsche "bargain".
You are absolutely right. A used car buyer is concerned about condition and price at nearly the same level.
Having good service/maintenance records and better receipts for the "little things" shows the car received TLC while in your possession and this goes a long way towards giving the prospective buyer the warm fuzzies for the car.
Good job selling.
Sincerely,
Macster.
I wish I could find a reasonable buyer for my 99 ..... 34k miles perfect condition, all books and records car with lots of upgrades and stock parts.....I am close to pulling the trigger on a 997 GT3
