as it is my first p-car it was the comfort of the warranties.

Suggestion
as an FYI...I got them down from 42 and paid 40,200 including a brand bew set of tires all around for a 2001 C4- black coupe, 37,500 miles, black interior, with CPO on it for another year, extended that for 1.5 more years with additional after market transferable warranty for another $2K (i don't even own a set of tools- need peace of mind), bought it at a porsche dealer in NJ, 18" rims, inspection done with all fluids changed out, cd player, electric seats, sunroof, psm, rubber mats, spotless interior and very clean exterior with only few ( but as expected from a car with these miles) front end highway specks.

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.

I am about ready to sell my 2001 C4. Since there arent many comp's out there, I am turning to you guys for help. Whats my car worth on a private sale? Seems to be a funny market on the 996's right now, so I am hoping it has not slid too far, too fast
SPECS:
2001 C4
Factory Aero
Rain Forest Green with Savannah
38,000 miles
Full leather
Sport seats
New Pilot Sports
FABSPEED exhaust
Factory Carbon Fiber package
TechArt Gear shift
Hi Fi sound
All maintenance up to snuff.
Your "optimistic" pricing is well appreciated
Thanks
This is the type of car - color, options, miles, aero with wing - that if you have the time you could squeeze out a little more on the top end. The car looks like it shows great, tasteful modifications. Little time and the right enthusiast type buyer I think you could pop 40. Maybe I'm just an optimist.
+1...with Ray on the price...I've been shopping these for months. While I love the color....Silver, seal gray, and black are the most sought after colors with 996's.
Good Luck!!
If your patient, someone will fall in love with the color and pay premium for it. Thats what happened to me. I bought a 2000 Millenium ed, 26k for 40K only 911 made.
Pl - glad you like the Gutter Protection product, it does a great job!!!
I am not sure what the next car is, but I am ready to start the search. I have other cars, so it makes it easy to get rid of this one and then start the search. It WILL be another P - car. I will say to all it is kinda disappointing to hear that a car I paid $44 for 12 months ago, "might" have depreciated down as far as $10k in a year. If I can get $40 for it, that would make sense, as $4k in 12 months should be expected. $10k in 12 months at this price point seems pretty steep.
wow, so the KBB trade-in for C4 coupe with aero-kit is:
Excellent $38,600
Good $36,705
Fair $33,435
you should get $38K private party if you find the right buyer for the unusally color.
Dell, I bought it for my birthday last June. I almost made it a full year, but a bit more than the HUMMER and the LEXUS did! The P-Dealer in town is still sitting on his '04 GT3. Been there since I bought my car. Cant figure how they sit on one that long. Its black/ black and under 8K miles.
I am a bit confused? - if KBB says in "good" condition its worth 36K on trade, how is is that the general concensus says I should be getting around 35K retail??? Am I missing something or has the market just dropped enough recently that KBB isnt reflecting this?
you realistically have to knock off a couple of grand at least for the color... even if someone comes along whp loves the color they will use it as a huge hammer to beat you down with...
I will tell you, I have had an Arctic Silver Gemballa, Slant nose, Grand Prix White, etc., and I have NEVER had the kind of comments and enthusiam from onlookers like I have with this one. Yesterday alone, we had 2 different cars on the highway slow down to take photos. See it in person, and you WILL become a GREEN TACO Lover!!!!
Your car is worth more than $35k but without seeing its condition in person, I don't want to say how high is too high. If it's in great cosmetic shape and there are no mechanical problems I'm sure there are people out there that will pay right around $40k for it. They most likely aren't posting on this board, but, they are out there...
Good luck with the sale!
???? Not sure what that comment is supposed to mean? I reckon its worth 45K if I traded it tomorrow... fully loaded with 1400 miles... Someone else I have come across is listing his cayman s for $58k which I think is equally optimistic.
these cars depreciate unfortunately and the market sets the value.
I suggest the OP goes to a dealer, asks what the dealer will give him as is, then take that price and tack on 2-3k for a private party sale & keep fingers crossed...
I just sold my silver 2000 c2 areo that was clean as a whislte with 67k for 34,800.
Yours is a year newer a c4 and with less miles...however IMHO the color will sting you in the resale - 32-34k
Best of luck... resale on our cars is very low now
I paid 35 for a seal grey 2002 C2 in really really nice shape two months ago. I also saw my same car (except no leather int.) for 36.5 on craigslist just yesterday. These are C2's of course, but they are mark II's and as has been pointed out, they are a very popular colour. I'm not sure if the market for C4's is stronger or weaker than that for the C2. I personally wouldn't consider a C4 because of teh added weight, and because of the non-traditional road and track dynamics.
The colour is beautiful - I would love to see it on the road, or at a car meet, seeing it in my driveway however is another thing. In actual fact I wouldn't be put off by it, I really do like it, but you see my point. My wife for instance would balk. The interior is another story altogether. I don't like beige. My car is seal grey with black - boring yes, but you know it looks GREAT.
Anyway - as a recent buyer who looked at dozens of cars, and ended up with a great deal, I would value your car at $35. Any more and I'd just scroll down to the next listing. Of course you will eventually find the right buyer at $38, maybe even $40 - but like your dealer with the GT3 - this may take a very very long time. Unless you enjoy talking to dreamers and keeping your car in a "ready to show" state of cleanliness at all times, this will get old fast. Also, you have to look at your market. I bought mine basically sight unseen, but lot's of people will insist on a personal inspection, and that means a trip to MT.
Just my opinion.

as it is my first p-car it was the comfort of the warranties. for the next i would consider private sales along with dealer sales, but they would have to save me a few K's. so, after looking at a bunch and freshly buying, i would say that mods add little to the selling value unless they are what the buyer would really want themselves. I would put your car at about 35K as a private sale. the color would be an issue for me personally but may be a bonus for someone wishing to get away from the silver or black versions and stand out a bit more.
hope it helps.
If you treat the car well, and don't put to many miles on it, 1% (of depreciation) per month is what to expect. I call in the "1% rule".
With that forumula in mind, you'll be fortunate to get $38k-$39k. Keep in mind, 996's have taken a big hit in the last year, this may take you down to the mid-thirties.
That wasn't me. I sold my C4S a couple of years ago to a Rennlist member. Last I heard my old car is now in Korea!
I'm in the market for another one. I love "different" colors; hence my interest in this one.
