Help me get a C4S -- Buy MY Boxster!

Well it's listed here:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/896114997.html

I guess that means it's officially for sale.
What do you guys think of that price?
(I know it seems kinda high in today's market, but my motivation to sell is not crucial.)

Also, I've decided that I'd really like to have an '02-'04 Carrera 4S (yes, even over a Cayman).

I LOVE the carrera front end. Those are the best looking headlights Porsche has ever made.

Jeph -- you probably already know that your asking price is on the high end of what your likely to get.

Give some thought to selling the car seperate from some of the goodies. For example:
- the hardtop WILL get $1200 (or more)
- If you still have the original headlights, put them back in. The litronics will fetch decent money too.

That will let you lower your asking price by $2000, bringing it into a better range.

Either way, good luck in your sale. Goes without saying that its not a great time to be selling a car. Having the maintenance history and new tires are a huge plus.

I agree about the hardtop. However, he cannot simply put the non-Litronic lamp assemblies back in, since they are different for the Carerra. Also, if I remember correctly, Jeph did the Carerra conversion after a minor fender bender, so he wouldn't have those components anyway.

Its a sharp car, but yes, you are going to have to wait for the exact right buyer, or lower your price a bit more than likely.

Good luck, if you find someone who enjoys the unique look you created the price isn't terrible, the mileage is a bit high but not awful.

Interesting that the ad doesn't mention this.
