Thought I would run this by the board. I broke down and bought a 996. It is an 1999 Iris Blue Metallic/savanna beige C4 Cab, 8k miles. Options include litronics, full supple leather, heated/power/memory seats, 18" turbo looks, headlight washers, colored crests, windstop, hi-fi sound pkg, wood steeting wheel, car cover. Original MSRP=$95,018. All maint records included, serviced at dealer each year (even though there was only about 2k mi/yr driven. Hardtop was pristinely wrapped and never ever used. A posted a couple of small pix below (lousy-I know...they are from my phone). I still have some little mods to do (I bought a H/K traffic pro, sirius, and a few other little things). SO......How much would you have paid? I will post what I paid after there are a few guesses! I want to see if I paid too much! Thanks....E

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

One of the nicest colors they have ever done...couldn't tell you the price opinion as I am in Canada
1 miiillllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn dollars!!! or 45.5k
$37,500.
low 40s.
I assume form your post that the mileage is around the 10-15,000 mile range? It's a good looking car with lots of goodies. My guess is that it should be about 45K but you bought for 39!
My guess is $38,500?
Mr Bob Barker, I will say $1.
2 dollars. HA!
I thought I said it above, but it has 8300 miles, that's all. Can you really find C4 cabs with under 10k miles for under 40k?
$50K, very nice car.
I'd say$48-49k.
$45,750.00 perhaps you could tell us if purchased from dealer or private party?
$46,500
how bout telling us now.
Okay, my guess is $44,000
Private party. PCA member to be precise. AND THE FINAL ANSWER IS... $45K. I think I thought I did better than I did, but I gotta tell you, this was the only VERY low mileage (<10k) C4 cab I found for under 50k. The boat load of options (esp, full leather, litronics) was also nice. Oh well...I am still happy with it, and I guess that's all that matters. So, anyone know of a set of savanna beige sports seats for sale? :-) I will post more pix after I install the new H/K traffic pro and sirius setup. Anyone know of the best place to get carrera cup side skirts? Also, who has good pix of aero kits that are made for the cab? I have seen a few and am thinking of the MA shaw turbo look rear spoiler, and the RUF rear bumper (4S look a like for the narrow body). Thoughts?
Wow, I've never seen a '99 in Iris Blau! I thought that came a year later. Could I be mistaken?
$45k is a pretty fair price for such a low mi car. It's a C4 so naturally the price should be a few grand higher than C2. Congrats!
litronics weren't an option in 99 were they?
At the time I bought my Boxster in 99 I saved a 911 sales booklet and looked through it before I purchased this C4. Ironically, Iris Blue was NOT listed as a color! I am not sure about the litronics, but here is the sticker. See for yourself. Weird, huh?
Yes, they were (I have them on mine). By the time the C4 was made they were a factory option. However on the European '98 version they were not.
Yes, I guess anything is possible. That would put your Cab is a catagory all by itself, I guess. What is very weird is that I understood that that Porsche "would not" paint" Iris Blue during "99 even under the color to match program- but there it is listed on your sticker. The color for the 99 closest to Iris Blau was Zenith Blue. It was my hope to have a Cayenne and 997S painted in Cobalt Blue or Zenith Blue in the color to match program. I was told- "NO WAY JOSE!!!" The Only color the Cayenne shares with the 997 is Iris Blue and that's it. It appears that your PO busted somebodies chops real hard to get Iris Blau paint in '99. Perhaps if I go back and cancel an order I will get what I want too. Worth a try, huh?
Looks pretty close to my Lapis Blue. Good looking car!!!! Great price....
so what do i win for getting closest without going over???
It is slightly different. It has a tinge of a purple hue. It is the only one I have ever seen before.
In the US, Iris blue is not an option on the Cayenne. We have lapis blue and dark sea blue (like a dark navy-non-metallic).
Sorry, I stand corrected...I meant Lapis Blue. You are indeed correct.
I think you did very well on your purchase, Iris Blue is a beautiful color.
Kompressor, I would have given you what was behind door #1, but you DID go over!
youre right, I SUCK!!!
