How much would you pay...
 

For a 2007 Base with 7k miles? I did research on cars dot com and autotrader dot com and the best I could compare it to was one with 10k miles for $32k from a private seller. The car listed for $56k with options (it doesn't have a lot, just the ones I like). It's a manual and I know I can get it for $29k and possibly $28k. I drove it tonight and it feels brand new. I was thinking I could drive it a bunch for a year and sell it for close to the same price. I would find it hard to part with my 2000 'S' because I love working on it so much and I know if I sold it I would never get my money out because I have replaced almost everything on the car. The 2000 'S' actually has a little more punch to it but the 2007 drives like a dream and is more comfortable. Heck I could just have both in the garage...or get those sport plus seats in my 2000 'S'. I have the Walmart syndrome, have to purchase because the price is great. One can never own too many Porsches!

2007 with 7k miles? $28,000? What are you waiting for?

Get a PPI and make sure there is no negative history on it.

For all my 986forum friends to weigh in :). It's Meteor Gray which is such a wonderful color.

Gotta agree! Nice price if it checks out.

Oh boy! Nice car but make certain there are no issues! Too good to be true? Just sayin!

How prone are the 2007's to IMS issues? It's a lot more work to change the IMS on some 05's - 08.

Blue Book on a 2007 base with 10K miles is $30,300-$30,900. If the owner tries to trade it in to a dealer he won't get over $25K. In this market and economy, I'd offer $26,500 and not pay over $28K.

Dealer gave $28k for it and I'm not under the impression they overloaded. They'll likely list for $34.9k or more.

I can get it out the door for $30. That includes:

Admin Fee
Tags
Sales Tax
PPI
Alignment

Basically that works out to a $28.5k sale. The $30k is $1k more than I wanted to spend.

thstone - I'm thinking you are right and they may have overloaded because of the low mileage. It felt very close to a great buy.

You think it's a good ( great? ) buy, but $1000 is a deal breaker ??? Everyone likes to brag about what I hard deal they can drive, but 1K is nothing over 5+ years of ownership if it buys you a truly excellent car.

I here ya. I'm actually not trying to drive a hard deal. The deal is actually what it is, I guess I'm just being indecisive. I talked to the sales manager at who is a good friend at another Porsche dealership and he felt it was a decent buy. He said if I plan of parting with it in the next year to plan on taking a 4 to $5k hit because he thought there would be a lot of other Boxsters coming on the market with the appeal of the 981.

I appreciate the feedback!

I can understand that, plus you already have a Boxster, so there's no "urgent" need to buy.

$500 isn't worth worrying over. If you like the car, buy it. :D
