My gut says under $19K for 01/02 S, maybe $20K for an 03 S and about $21-22 for the 04 S. There are plenty of 03 S cars advertised for $22k and the 04 S are mid to upper $20's. I base this off of what I think an 05 S should sell for which is under $30K. There has to be a decent difference between an 986 and 987 to me and having an 04 S in the upper $20K's doesn't seem right to me. You can find some of these 986 cars priced right but they have 70K miles on them....

Hopefully this search link works. There is an 02 S for $28K!!!

I have a 58K miles needs nothing '01S and I don't think I could get $16.5k for it and that would be spring time selling. I see real selling prices like that all the time. Mostly private sellers. You don't get the convenience of the dealers and the seller isn't as adept at giving you the warm fuzzies as the salesman is. But keep in mind CarMax made $2100 on every car they sold this year in a tough market so there has to be a gap between private seller and reseller. Maybe to get a better car, or a better price, or both.

SeaNile31,

Look at this post http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27314

Your market is even worse then mine! Dang those are high prices you list...looks like South Fl is the place to be...or come to NC, at least we can beat yours.

Cheers

Mike, I would have giving you 16.5 for yours, that would have been a good price for a great car when i was looking in oct/nov...I paid less for an 00 'S' but I'm sure yours was better maintained, I had to put a lot into mine...well a lot of it I wanted to put into it
