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.

Hi
Looking to help sell a close friends 996, and wanted to get input on pricing before listing it for sale. In no rush, so willing to wait for the right price.
1998 (R reg)
Manual
Coupe
arctic silver
Non-sunroof
<70,000 miles
Service history:
Porsche 98-05
Independent 05-current (book only stamped once in 2012, some invoices for works though), currently in for a service.
Been in ownership for last 7 years, with minimal mileage (kept garaged /undercover/not driven in winter)
Car is in excellent condition (interior/exterior)
Closest I have seen on autotrader is 20k+, didn't think values were that high yet though?
Any advice / interest appreciated
Thanks
As an early, manual, non-sunroof car I'd argue that's what a lot of people want - assuming it's on the original wheels and still has the amber indicators. A lot depends on the interior - colour and whether it has rouched leather. The aerokit is attractive to some but a turnoff for others.
The ballparks so far I agree with, but if it has the right spec and is genuinely kept on top of, £20k might be in reach.
Is it a Carrera 2 or 4? 2 will command more.
The questions you'll be asked are:
Suspension all refreshed? By Center Gravity/Another 'renowned' Porsche specialist?
Air conditioning condensers replaced?
IMS done?
RMS done?
Checked for Bore Score?
Ever been rebuilt?
I'd risk saying every single one of those you can answer 'yes' to will add more money/increase the chance of a strong offer. Then its 'silly' things like 'does it have 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres' to push the 'enthusiast owned, no money spared' territory that some people will pine for.
The suggestion of a local specialist doing a PPI report on it is a good shout also.
Without doubt.
However, I see it differently, it simply means people won't sell the cars for less than a fair price. At the moment I think the market is having a bit of a wobble unsurprisingly, but it won't be long and decent cars will all be north of £20k.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
