Go to ebaymotors (link at bottom), click completed listings(blue link in middle of page under ebay's search bar) you have to log in. I included 2003-05 to give you a broader range. I only saw 3 sold(green). This will tell you what they actually sold for, not what the currently listers are dreaming for. These prices are usually extremely low. It's all in the marketing, if your not good at it, then look at some of the successful adds and plagarize them. Pictures sell on ebay(seats,every angle imaginable, no less than 10 pics).

Actually if your in a big city or next to one, I would use their newspaper. It should cost around $50 but the results are huge. Use kbb.com and nada.com to get your prices. And always add OBO (or best offer). Don't say anything negative in the paper, but be honest with them if they call.

I was a new car sales mgr in NW OHIOs largest dealer, Mits,jeep,porsche,bmw,.... So I do have some experience. I find craigs list to be garbage and full of scammers. Don't meet people at your house(ever), do it somewhere well populated. Across from a police station is best. There are scam artist scouring the net and when they see porsche the are like "jackpot". They want to case your place and see what else they can thieve. No over seas sales either. I usually don't drop price until they have seen the car. When asked about price, I usually say "I do have some room to work but you haven't even seen the car yet", or if they are persistant aske them " Well what were you thinking". Let them make the offer. If they make an offer you are happy with then its a sell.

It is best to take a friend with you(seperate car) when someone wants to see it. I am not paranoid, I have just heard the horror stories. It is usually an easy hassle free process, Oh watch out for counterfiet bills.
