Suggested price
http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02/Car11618610538.jpg
I am considering selling and would be interested to hear thoughts about selling price, '99 with 33,300 miles, excellent condition, everything works perfectly, new tires, brake rotors/pads, plugs, many others. Atlanta, GA area. |
Depends on the IMS status.

--------------------------------- My (worthless) opinion; right now car prices are up on everything. Clearcoat and leather in excellent condition? With a good PPI, I'd say $10,500 in a major market that is short on nice examples. Well documented and presented on BAT, probably more: http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1618712869.jpg |
BAT prices aren't representative of normal channels. Also it isn't "silly", the Clutch/LN Engineering IMS documented repair is worth several thousand dollars alone, maybe $3000.

Any ideas on the value of the car? With IMS done? Without? Lots of people (many buyers) don't care much about the IMS being done on a 1999 with the dual row bearing, but lets not debate the IMS. Stephan asked for a price for the car and there's plenty of IMS threads already. :cheers: |
asking prices
IMS is not a huge concern with this car, dual-row failure is low, but peace of mind is worth something to people...but not 3K.
this appears to be an excellent example, very low miles and well kept. Assuming its a manual? 10,500 is a sweet-heart deal, low end IMHO. Ive only dealt in the "s" model and my high-mileage examples sold recently for well over this price. If you move on, I expect you get your price. |

Whether a buyer "doesnt care much" about it, whether it is dual or single row, the IMS was a design defect and it is only a matter of time before the music stops on at this point a 22 year old sealed bearing. |
Could probably get 15k for it on the east coast

It is a sellers market right now and has been for about a year. It will swing back to a buyers market around winter time I think.
I would say between $8k-$12k. While it does have low mileage, that isnt always a good thing but if you have service records it helps. Being a 2.5 it might not bring as much as a 2000 with a 2.7 in the same condition, miles, etc or an S. Of course, it's never worth more then the person that is going to buy it. As for the IMS being the number one thing that people ask about...it isn't. While there were failures and yes it could go bad, it doesn't even crack the top 10 things I would ask or care about. If a buyer is interested they would know which years this impacts and not just watch Youtube videos that never go into the details. The OP is asking for opinions on price given the information he provided. BAT is a possible option, could reach out to them and see if they select your car. That would bring you the most money, followed by facebook marketplace, maybe CL and also rennlist. You could also reach out to your local PCA and see if they have a classified site for their region. |
+1 to previous reply! Used car prices are crazy. BAT would be gold if they take your car.

Just to add some context. I regularly see 986 cars through wholesale auctions selling for around $9k with way more miles and no known service history and no where near as good of condition as the car in the pictures. It is getting kind of stupid the prices that cars are selling for the past 18 months. One of the biggest drivers is that there is less new inventory for all cars due to pandemic impacting parts companies and the tech sector.

Bring it up to Western New York, lol. It took me 4 months to find one and I paid well over your asking with 70k miles. Everyone is trying to find these cars right now it seems.
