what you think

http://www.bluestarmotors.com/index....wroom&carid=76 Tempted to buy this 996. What do you think of the color? Is the mileage to high? Does the aero kit add much value to the car? Price is similar to others in vancouver however they have lower milage but no aero kit or ruf wheels. Interested to hear what you guys and gals think.

Price seems really high to me. In fact, if you search the 996 forums you will see several discussions about purchasing a 99 for AROUND $30K...Personally, I don't like the color and aside from the wing and rims, there doesn't appear to be ANY other mods...Keep looking.

Personally, I think it looks great. Can't tell but it looks like Arena Red. My fav color by the way but I am not biased having an arena red 996 myself (last year you could get it was 2000). I get more compliments at the track on arena red than you can imagine. But like Kevin said, that price is WAY high for a 99C2 coupe. That car should be around high 30's. If you can get it for less than $40K then you got a good deal as long as a PPI checks out good.

Ditto the two previous comments. $46.6USD is WAY over priced for a 99 with 2 KM let alone 99300 KM. 99's are selling for the low 40's to low 30's and possibly even lower depending on condition. I would however give the car $2K for the Aero Kit and $2K for the Ruf wheels as an allowance.

I like the color, but it's a tip.

The color is sweet looking! But as all of the previous guys have said, the price is way too high!

Also I noticed it had Sport Seats, Litronic lights, and Turbo bumper. Car looks very nice but not for $46K I would try and make a play at $38K and see what they say.

Look again it's a 6spd

spend a little more and buy mine! =)

great color.. too much money though..

What are you using to define "a little" Kirby??? An abacus?

Well like I said they are all priced like this in vancouver canada. I search ebay and I know porsches are priced less in the USA. Thanks for the comments. Looks like more are in favour of the color than against. Was just wondering if the aero kit is viewed as to much "boy racer". Considering non aero kit 996s here are priced the same as this one it seems with the wheels it should be reasonable price. Guess the thing to do is have a mechanic check it over before making an offer.

The factory aero kit is a plus.......a big plus and not even close to boy racer. Most will say that the pre-facelift aero kit is the nicest aero kit Porsche has put forth. That taco wing is great. Functional and alot of style. If it would work with my CAB I would have it. Instead I have the rest of the aero mius the taco wing on my CAB.

Thanks thats good to know. With 60000 miles on this one am I looking at any possible expensive repairs soon?
