Opinion on price?

[NickCats]

jiminmsux,

Since the OP and the dealer are both in Dallas, I don't think snow will be much of an issue regarding price.

Jacques,

BIG difference between a 2000 and a 2003.

rick,

$23k ! Take a look at autotrader :

137 2003's between $23,900 and $40,900 ( ave price $31,936 )

Just trying to keep you guys honest...

Thanks for all the advice. It seemed to me a little high for the mileage. I'll keep looking around.

mochoajr, now you have some good data and info, so now you can negotiate a better value proposition. Don't be discouraged.

I think it seems like a nice car and a fair price if it's in good condition. I wish I had bought mine sooner! Every day I drive it I have a smile on my face, How much is that worth?

I know 23K is ridiculous, but it would constitute a steal. Personally, I am all about getting a great deal. The sticker price on the car seems fair, but I would still push the stealership for a lower price, even if you can't get it that much lower. They normally price with a bit of leeway for negotiation.
Best of Luck Getting a Good Deal!

its only the asking price guys.
go out there and talk to them, i talked a dealer down wayyy too much on my car, ridiculous, so don't be discouraged.

[dkriebel]

I just sold an 03S with 25,000 miles for 30K...could have got more , but she was good looking!

rick3000 and djomlas hit the nail on the head - that's just the asking price. It's a buyers market right now. Go talk to them and find out what they'd be willing to take to move the car off their lot - you may be surprised by the answer.

Also, logon to galves.com and get their wholesale price for the car (there's a fee for this service, and no I'm not affiliated with them in any way). In my experience they provide the most accurate values for used cars. Use that value like you'd use the invoice price on the purchase of a new car.

Good luck in your search!

Several threads recommend buying the latest boxer one can afford. Would an '01 Porsche Certified with 20k miles be worthwhile?

^ It depends on you.
I would prefer low miles over the year if it has been maintained. But a lot of people would go newer with higher miles because the newer models are less prone to some things like RMS failure and include things like a glove box. But a Porsche certified '01 would be worth considering depending on the price. I really like that one actually (but I like blue), you could probably get it for $24K.
