For you folks in the north, it has a matching color Hard Top that has never been used by me here in Florida and a rolling rack to go with it.
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.

Hello,
Anyone interested in a good deal on a Rain Forest Green C4 Cabriolet? I have a Z06 coming. This is a beautiful car which has been well cared for. I would rather make someone a good deal on this board than trade it at the dealer. The details are below.
Here is the list of options and pictures of my Porsche from my memory. I have excellent documentation on it. All Scheduled Service has been done at Brumos Motor Cars, our Porsche Dealer here in town. I would be asking 28,000 for it. For you folks in the north, it has a matching color Hard Top that has never been used by me here in Florida and a rolling rack to go with it. Thank you! Kevin

Sadly we all have one here... You may want to try auto trader.... Thats where I sold the 928.. First serious guy that looked at it, Bought it. And I got good money for it... I dont think you have a "great deal" there... But I do think auto trader is going to be your friend. I think the ad was 59$ and it ran til the car sold
Looks like a beautiful car. Seems like greens are sometimes a hard sell, everyone wants black or silver, but I love the green, second only to my blue. Definitely try Auto Trader, or even eBay. I think you will get more from a private party than on a trade-in. You will save some sales tax on the value of a trade-in.
Also post it in the 996 sale thread and the classifieds here, and post it on 6speedonline and Renntech.org. Good luck with the sale.
I searched long and hard for a green one when I bought mine. You just need to find the right buyer. I think $28k is a great deal for someone who wants that color combo. I wouldn't budge. Take many high resolution pictures. GLWS!
I'm not sure if the price is good or not. I recently had my '01 silver C4 Cab with only 20,000 miles on it on Ebay for 35k reserve and it didn't go. Seems people aren't buying.
yes, a, Mk1 C4 Cab, even with low miles, won't fetch anywhere near $35K.
and no, people are buying - but not at that price...more like $28K for a Mk1.
This post is about a pristine Mk2 Cab - and at $28K I think it's an absolute steal.
His car has almost 70,000 miles on it. Mine has 20k. To me, that's a big difference. What is 50,000 miles worth? That's almost half of the life of a car.
Just for perspective I just got my well optioned 2002 C2 Cab with 22,500 miles (all leather) for $31K which included bumper to bumper 5 year-50,000 mile warranty.
I also think your Mk1 for $35K is about $8k overpriced. Also, to the fact that "people aren't buying" - I took too long (over one week) on three cars prior to this one and lost the sales - all of them fairly priced. People ARE buying fairly priced vehicles. Lastly, my search was not limited to my geographic area.
But I think for most new 996 buyers, they're looking for the newest model year they can afford - and they know about the differences between Mk1 and Mk2...so I just think if someone has $30K+ to spend, they will look for a Mk2.
I knew the car was overpriced but I don't believe it was 8k overpriced. I was only interested in selling it at a premium because it is near perfect, silver with black, and a C4 and I had my eye on something else that I don't need. Perhaps there is a book value for them but if someone wants one bad enough, they will cough up the money. Ebay is not the right place to get good money for any car. Sometimes I think putting a 'For Sale' sign on the car is best.
I am looking for a black C4 cab 2000 to 2002 and am finding it is more of a buyers market. I got less for my 85 targa than I expected also. I watched 3 C4 auctions on bay this week and only one got any action at all.
One additional bit of information. The engine on my 996 was replaced by Porsche under warranty at 24,000 miles, so the new engine 45,000 miles on it. Thanks for all the comments. Kevin
The green was one of my top picks along with midnight blue when I was looking. Seemed to me all 996's where silver & black when I was looking, certainly not hard to find.
I think once you have a black car, it is enough for most. Mine looked dirty most of the time.
People are buying 996's now because they are great deals. Many start looking at 1999 MKI 's priced from $15k-ish & up with high miles. They go through the Porsche learning curve and buy some where above the entry level 996, maybe double in price what they started looking at. Sort of if you are going to do it, do it right- with in your budget.
