Opinions on pricing my 911

Hey guys, Looking for some input on what you guys think my 996 should be listed for.... 2001 Black 996 56,250 miles short shift kit Upgrades: 19 x 9 fronts 19 x 11 rears Fabspeed dual intake Fabspeed headers Fabspeed exhaust Fabspeed bypass x pipe tuned body is flawless, no dents, dings, scratches......10 out of 10 interior is flawless, no rips, tears, cuts, 10 out of 10 Just looking for some help.....thanks in advance!!

Need way more info on options and service history.... Personally, I would take the tint out, put the stock wheels, and tail lights on. The market is very limited as it is for a 996. The way it looks cuts that limited market down about 90%.

If you decide to put the stock tail lights in I would be interested in buying the Depo lights.

I would put her back to stock. Sell the aftermarket parts by themselves and then price appropriately for a low mileage 996 without IMS being addressed. Your personal tastes and mods are not what 90% of the potential buyers out there want. Most buyers want a relatively stock car, good mileage, impeccable maintenance and IMS addressed. By demodding and selling those parts, I think you have the best chance at maximizing profit. Possibly use the mod $$ to address the IMS and document it then you can charge a premium.

thank you for the input.....if i do as you stated, without the IMS, what would you say i could/should list it for?

I think with enough patience you could probably sell in stock form for ~24k. That's assuming, not excessive amounts of owners, no leaks, clutch still strong, brakes good, no accident history, everything checks out on PPI and condition is as you describe. Just a personal guess though. With IMS I think you could ask 29, sell for ~27+. I wouldn't take anything less than low 20's once returned to stock sans IMS. Also depends on your options, what stock wheels you have, interior seats... yada yada yada. Get it back to stock, detailed and professional pictures.

It seems to be in outstanding condition. I wasn't meaning to insult your modifications, I love to modify my cars as well. I just know how the people who buy these cars are. They are very picky. The option codes can provide a big price bump if anything interesting there. If it is just plane jane option wise and doesn't have any issues or stories and in great shape. Yeah I would list mid 20's and prepare to hear grown men whining like children about the ims bearing every call you get. It looks like you did a great job taking care of it!

It's funny you say that, but as a negotiation strategy on a private sale deal, it works. Guy I bought mine from was beat down by tire kickers and calls about the IMS. By the time I got to him he was willing to accept a fair offer to simply end the pain of selling.

^ this is why I keep mine. I'd buy it all day long for what I could sell it for, which is less than a newish Camry would fetch.

Having the original parts is a huge plus. All of your mods are bolt on. I personally like the mods, except the wheels being black. Just too much black for me. I think 24k would be a strong price, in my opinion, but you may find a buyer at that level if you hold out. Since it is possible you have the single row IMS bearing, as a buyer, I would factor in replacing it soon after I purchased the car. If you include a picture of the original parts layed out on the driveway, that would be a plus when you are selling it.

I currently have 2004 for sale, the big differences being its a cab but otherwise black on black. It is in excellent shape, 61k miles, water pump done in that last 5k miles, heater core recently replaced. I have it listed at 26k and have had very little interest. The two that have messaged me wouldn't even come look at it because of the IMS bearing. I understand that to a degree but it's not like that cannot be negotiated on concerning price. Maybe I don't have it listed in enough places.

I think you'd be hard pressed to sell it at 24K without coming down significantly. What cars list for and what they sell for are two different things. If you want a quick sale, you're going to have to be at $20K and you might even get your asking price. But you want people to inquire about it.

I have sold so many cars in my life, they all bring their own type of buyer. The Porsches are always a nightmare for me. People just generally don't need them and they are almost always second cars as well. Unless its a special color or option package it could take a long time to sell. I follow the market and I see cars up for sale for 6 months to a year and it's pretty normal. Unless its priced to sell you are going to get the picky buyers and people who want deals. Personally, I just put these types of cars and Bring A Trailer. The one week is going to busy, but at the end the car will be gone and its over with. Just a real clean, quick transaction and you will probably get a little more than the local craigslist bozo will pay.

Cab is never going to command what a coupe does for 911's. Things this car has going for it: Mileage, Manual, Condition, Coupe and Color Soon to come plus: OEM Options: Unknown Negative: IMS, MK1(Negative to some) Once reconfigured to OEM specs I see no problem pricing a low mileage 996 at mid 20's but don't expect it to fly off the shelf. Finding the right buyer is key and setting up the car to appeal to everyone is a priority. I would think 20-22k it would be a great buy. (Also consider the $$$ from selling the parts. At least 3-4k worth of used parts there to sell on rennlist.

Good looking car, that you've tailored to your style, make it more appealing to generic customer and it will sell. Great looking yard , driveway and landscaping. That also helps when people come to look. Personally I'd stay away from Craigslist. to many *****. I've had better luck on Car sites I like the Bring a Trailer site, but t's a gamble Good time to sell.

thanks to all the input....,my life has changed, i opened up a landscaping company about 2 years ago.....i don't have the time id love for the 911.....my company could use another diesel....i know its hard to even fathom selling a 911 for a diesel work truck, but i don't like to have auto loans, and this isn't the time of year to come out of pocket when i have payroll to make....it will hurt to see her go....for sure....but my saving grace is that i inheireted my fathers 67 jaguar XKE series 1 roadster when he passed away almost 3 years ago.....i can cruise that car top down as id like.....and it is a good way to soften the blow of the 911.....i have a very good friend who has a car lot and is willing to trade my 911 for a f-450 (insert ford jokes) crew card turbo diesel with only 81K on the clock.....however.....he wants me to trade him the car bone stock.....so my OEM wheels are going back on....and all the mods are coming off.....if anyone is interested in any of my mods, let me know....for those wondering, the tires are hankook ventus.....the tires and wheels have less than 500 miles on them

how much are you trading it in for?

That a great deal from a car lot, considering the MASSIVE convenience of not having to sell private! Take it and run!

i know, he�s a very good friend of mine and was close with my father. He just underwent hip surgery and I was there for him every step of the way

+1 plus sales tax benefit

I have a F250 7.3 with a manual transmission I purchased over 10 years ago. I don't know how people live without one. If I had to choose between my 996 and the F250, I would probably choose the truck.

yea man especially in my line of work. I just hate to let go of Porsche but like I said I hate car payments and it�s not the time to go to the well with payroll weekly. I have a 350 diesel dump and a 250 v10 gas.....the 250 is on its way out causing me problems plus with pulling the trailer, I�m getting gas like every day because 10 cylinder. It�s terrible.

Yeah, an E-Type should soften the blow quite nicely. Sorry you had to lose your father though... That trade for the truck does sound like quite the deal.
