G is a fantastic class with great drivers so I am going run there for the foreseeable future.

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 have a close friend who has an opportunity to acquire a 2000 996 Millenium Edition. It has 12,000 miles, one owner and perfect in every way. It is number 336 of 911 made. Violet Chromaflair paint with natural leather and burl walnut trim. Center console is even full leather. Wheels are chrome turbo twist. Obviously a garage queen. It is a C4 3.4 L car and no warranty issues or engine replacement.
Does anyone have an opinion of a reasonable price for this car? The current owner is thinking $45K while I think $30 to $33K is more in line and perhaps even a bit high.
Thanks for any feedback.
Personally I would not buy a very low mileage 996 such as this out of warranty. Price - $31-35K. at most. Soon 2001 TT in the mid to high 30's will be common place. A lot more car for the money. However miles will be higher but at least the engine is better.
There are several issues with the car. First, with 12,000 miles the car hasn't given the owner an opportunity to discover issues with the car,--thus, you can't state that there are no warranty issues. Bottom line,--the issues will soon be yours instead of his. It's out of warranty. Second, CHROME wheels on a Porsche? Are you in South Florida? Otherwise, a bit excessive.
Your idea of pricing is a lot more realistic than his. Here's a price point for you.--a buddy of mine who buys Porsches like some people change their underwear just bought a beautiful 996 C4S Cabriolet (2004) for $45,000 yesterday. Sadly, a 2000 car is a 9-year old car today. The "special edition' aspect of the car is not a factor for a car that isn't that special in the first place. There are plenty of 996s out there. Today's a buyer's market and your cash has the best purchasing authority than ever before. Don't throw it away.
Are you implying that I own this car? Give me a break! And if I did own this car, I know better than to ask this question on this site! My reason for the post was to help my friend obtain additional information which he could use to help negotiate a more reasonable price.
It's Christmas...maybe change your screen name to
"happy puppy"
for perhaps one month?
And thanks everyone for your feedback. I especially agree with Edgy01 on every point made. My 01 996 has a new engine replaced by me after 57K miles. Likely due to track use anyway.
Yikes I would hate to be long one of those and have it marked on my books at 45k. As has been mentioned I believe the real price is closer to 30 to 33k tops tops tops. My 4 tick wide market is 29/33 in that thing.
Alex, that car is a low 30's car and the owner should be counting his lucky stars to get anything in the high 20's or better. If it was my car, I would offer it at about 33K and take the first 25K+ that comes my way. It's a sad state for ANY luxury item these days.
BTW, are you still doing member days? Looking forward to seeing you soon

Hey LV. No on the Member Days as I de membered in July from VIR. I will still be doing DE in 2009. Also, I intend to participate in the NASA event in February where I expect to get my Comp license and perhaps see you at some Club Racing events next year.
Have you bought Terry's car yet? I know it would be a good fit for you! Good to hear from you and have a great Christmas.

I decided that Terry's car was not the way to go for me. GTB needs to be larger before I would consider making the jump. G is a fantastic class with great drivers so I am going run there for the foreseeable future.
No more DE's for me. I decided to do races and member days for practice. If I do the PCA DE's it will be with my region so I can support them as well as offer my instruction.
