You may find a car at 40k, and end up negotiating to 35k.......one thing I can tell you I have noticed, is that 911's dont all sell very fast, just check the completed auctions on ebay, not many selling, meeting reserve or whatever.

Hi,
I am looking for a 1999 carrera coupe.
I am close to that budget range.
Am I expecting a lot of problems if I get a car that old?
And also can anyone give a depreciation on such a car 1999 C2 coupe? just want to know how much the car would depreciate.
thanks.
I have a 99 996 c4 that I am getting ready to sell. Silver / Black, No issues, all service records, excellent condition. PM me if you are interested. mark
I shopped with a relatively low budget too. At first I wanted to pay 28k-33k since there are so many cars out there. However, I found 99-02 are all pretty much close to eachother in price. Well, not so much 2002, but there are a few every now and then that are slow to sell that can be picked up at a good deal.
However, I saw alot of really nice optioned cars rise to the top in the 35-40k range. So I figured it was worth it to stretch a few thousand for something really nice. You may find a car at 40k, and end up negotiating to 35k.......one thing I can tell you I have noticed, is that 911's dont all sell very fast, just check the completed auctions on ebay, not many selling, meeting reserve or whatever. Its definitely a buyers market in my opinion.
I too am selling my '99 911. It is metalic black with triptronic transmission. New tires, brakes, 60k service done. 67,000 miles. It is priced it to sell at around $28.5k. PM me if you are interested.
hey, fred..are you from the bay area? if you are I could give you the contact info of a friend of mine who works @ Credit Union and help me get my 2 cars with in a month.....I've saved over 6k on both cars and it has 4 yrs/ 48k warranty on it too. It's an 04' Matrix XR and 99 Porsche 986
First time I've seen the magazine the other day and I Bought & Love It esp. the tech forum and the market updates
plus finally an article about 986 Boxster
The reason, I was asking was, I went to TMV from edmunds and they show for each and every year the car depreciates like 5k-6k 1999-2000-2001 only those 3 years. I thought after sometime u hold the car, the car price would ease off in depreciation and would not reduce that much.
Fred - my two cents - forget about the depreciation issue. If you love the car, buy it and enjoy it. Porsches will always retain some value.
By the way, I might be interested in selling my 2000 C4 millenium if you're interested. 27k miles, extended warranty. I live in LA.
