2000 - Millenium - What would you pay?

Still searching for my dream 911. This Millenium edition has been on Autotrader for a long time. It looks nice. I would be interested in what you think is a fair price to expect to pay for it. 2000, of course, with 45,000 miles on it. Here's a description from the ad and then a photo. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, in advance. -John This vehicles is finished in the demanded high gloss VIOLETTCHROMAFLAIR METALLIC which is unique to the MILLENNIUM Edition vehicles. This is a true color of brilliance. This vehicle has never been in or near any kind of accident whatsoever. 2000 PORSCHE 911 MILLENNIUM EDITION # 526 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION GARAGE KEPT VEHICLE ABSOLUTE CREAMPUFF PORSCHE STABILITY MANAGEMENT PORSCHE COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT GPS NAVIGATION LITRONIC HIGHLIGHTS HEADLAMP WASHERS ALACANTARA HEADLINER POWER SLIDING SUNROOF REAR WINDOW WIPER FULL LEATHER POWER SEATS HEATED SEATS FRONT AND SIDE IMPACT SRS 19 inch HRE 5905 WHEELS DIGITAL SOUND PACKAGE 6 DISC CD CHANGER (after market stereo system, original deck) EXCELLENT CONDITION #526 means in 2000 Porsche only made 911 of this model all wheel drive 996. If you check out the milenium package you will understand. This car has been treated better then my girl friend.VIOLETTCHROMAFLAIR METALLIC is a unique paint job only on these 911 models in existance world wide. In the photos I disclose the two road rash marks on the car. That is my pinky finger for refrence. The car is in amazing condition.

Mid $20K

c4 are usually 3k-5K more of the c2 and the y2k edition are about 3k more of asking c4 in similar condition. Y2k editions are good deals if you like a high optioned car.

I'd suggest checking it out in person. I actually drove in one a couple weeks ago and just didn't get it. It seems that PAG decided to throw a whole bunch of crap that didn't get sold in the option bin and call it a limited edition. You're right it's limited. Only a limited number of people will want to buy it. From the funky paint color, to the chrome wheels (seriously?), to the explosion of wood inside, it's just wrong. Sorry, but there is just so much more out there in the 996 line that blow it away for that price. IMHO, the car brings zero premium and if anything might actually fetch less since it is a VERY LIMTED market of buyers you are trying to sell to.

Ferd would know!!

Dont hold back, what do you really think of it?

hahaha thats what I thought - GEEZ LOL

You know me By the way, I think the 40th anniversary "limited edition" they got right. Actually, they did get one thing right on the Millenium..........the rear 911 nameplate

However, I actually like the funky color. I totally appreciate your input. Great thoughts. Thanks.

$43K?

what - is it at a Honda Dealer???

Not sure where you got the $43k from. They are asking $28k.

Did you click the link I posted? They want 42,995. Not sure about the one you are looking at since you didn't post a link.

Whatever you decide and however you feel about it, the one thing I'd say is that this will not be an 'important' Porsche and so therefore of no interest to collectors. It was a pure marketing exercise, so you shouldn't have to pay much of a premium for it. The 40th will probably be interesting to someone someday, but the Millennium in no way ties to the Porsche story. Just a bit of opportunism on Porsche's part. If you love it, buy it and enjoy it. This opinion is, of course, worth every penny you paid for it.

Did you click the link I posted? They want 42,995. Crazy. I didn't see the link. Here's a link to the one I saw on Autotrader: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...TAFSRCHUSDTEXT

I wonder if that is a Rennlister's car? I could swear I have seen that pic in somebody's avatar. 28K isn't outrageous but still on the high side.

But Dell, be fair, it's "Very rare....."

Dont waste your money just buy a regular 996 or 996 C4.....millenium edition really isnt signifigant like it was said above. Dont like chrome or polished wheels on porsches....just doesnt look right.

No doubt, $43K is a pipe dream.... one thing about the Millenium.... you will always have people around it asking about the car at meets... its that type of car and that was Porsche intention, it is to show the possibilites of options and configuration that the modern 911 provides. Insignificant? technically, maybe... it is for people who want it because they like it, not any different from buying a turbo or a 40th or a c4 because it is a car that you like. Its that simple really.
