Buying of C4s

what would a high optioned c4s cab 2004 go for? here are the particulars:

This car with the following options: Bose, Xenon, dimming mirrors, twin sport seats, full leather, sport exhaust, floor mats, wheel crests, and aluminum/chrome package. Yellow with black interior.
My friend is selling it and he offered it to me for 45K. it has 17000 miles on the clock, and I can personally atest that it is a garage queen. He drives it about 100 miles a month. Such a waste. Also I am not to fond of yellow, but if it is a good price I may get it.

James

That sounds like about $10,000 too high. Check autotrader for comps. Sounds like a nice car, though.

I agree with bmusatti. Def too high. Check ebay as well, you can find amazing deals there.

his is a convertable. It is on ebay, http://tinyurl.com/l594w7

does a convertable increase the price that much?

Every time I see a 911 cab, I'm reminded of why I bought the Boxster. It's so much better looking. When they redesigned the 993 to 996, they really made the back end frumpy.

Yellow is definately a deal killer for me. I love the Guardmens red or Silver.


I am not sure what the different base prices are between a ragtop and hardtop. that will kind of give you a clue. Or you could run both with kbb.com or nada.com . It will give you the price differences. I will never pay over clean trade. A car is only worth what the market(individuals) are willing to pay. That is why I always go to ebay completed auctions. I like to see what actually sold. Funny thing is only like 1 out of 15 actually ever sell.

The miles seem great, but unless you are particularly looking for "all wheel drive", then you might want to look at a boxster "s". Just a thought. You could probably get two for what he is asking and the performance difference is negligible. I love the 50/50 weight distribution.

If you have your heart set on a 911, they are plenty of them out there. Check craigslist.com in the California area. The seem to be really hurting and seem really desperate for cash. I got my 2001 "s" 55k miles for $12,750 that way. I was just patient and gave it some time. Unless his reserve is met he might not even sell it. To me milage is relative as I will be putting plenty of miles on it myself. Good luck with your decision

PS I just noticed his is ending sunday july 5th. I am an ebay addict and I would think that is definately a bad time to end an auction. Right after an outdoor holiday. People will be out BBQ and probably won't be in there homes. Just my .02 cents
