Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All, Looking for a 996 cabrio. As Summer creeps into Fall, I'm thinking if I put off the search until Spring / Summer '12, I should see bertter prices for 00-01 cabrios. Is this a reasonable assumption? Thanks in advance. Great forum. Al

POST 2Original post

best time to buy a convertible is during winter, worst time is Summer. I'd start searching in Dec/Jan/Feb those are going to be your best months.

POST 3Original post

If you want a car for next spring or summer, don't wait until the last minute to search. Start searching now. Use the time to learn options, equipment, prices, etc. That way you'll have an idea what a fair price is and what equipment you want. They say convertible prices are lower in the winter, but I doubt it matters much. It's just another variable. I personally wouldn't want to try to check out a used sports car in the middle of winter, unless it was someplace without ice and snow.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks rockhound. Looking at a trip black cab 2001, 27K miles, front bumber hairline crack, o/w perfect for 25K. Sound reasonable?

POST 5Original post

It doesn't sound unreasonable, although you'll want to get details on it, obviously. A good place to check prices is Excellence Magazine's site: Excellence :: Buyers Guide : 911: 1999-2008 Also, some significant improvements were made for the 2002 and up models, so don't rule those out.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
