04 550?

[super66]

That made for a GREAT laugh..35K....unrealistic...number one with so many newer boxsters out there with improvements, this economy or ANY...you would have to find some millionaire that wants that EXACT care to fork over 35K....offer the 25K.

Better have a 3.8 conversion in it for that money (with all the LN/Raby updates).

kbb.com says an '04 S w/19k mi is worth ~$19k trade in, ~$22k private party. Does anyone really think a "rare" 550 is worth more than a 10% premium? Even that much seems wishful. I'd say maybe +5%.

I've found eBay to be very good gauge of where the market is. Look at closed auctions. Not many cars sell, but looking at where the bidding stopped will quickly give you a good picture.

If you can't take it home for $22k I'd walk. There's always another one.

honestly , i don't think this guy will even consider 22k offer. I did look at another car yesterday an 05 S with 45k on it. it has full leather , power seats and great condition. the color is a little funny , carmen red. asking 27,900 from a dealer. this might be a better option.

The SE 550 is more than a well optioned boxster S. It has options not available on other boxsters such as GT Silver Metallic paint(the same color as the car-show version of the Carrera GT supercar), Cocoa dark brown all leather interior, Seal Gray 911 wheels and special exhaust are just a few.

Then it is optioned to the hilt.

It all depends on what you want. It is the most expensive 986. When you use services such as kbb - may sure you choose the aniversary option - usually 3000 premuim over other boxster S's. Production run of just 1953 cars.

I like to hear about what folks think when they drive both the 986 and 987. So far, besides power, it doesn't sound like there's much of a difference.
