My condolences as well on your father's passing.
I'd have to say you have a pricing issue as well. Last year, another forum member posted a 2003S, well optioned, with 22k miles. IIRC, he had it priced around $22k and was receiving offers around $20k. I believe he ended up keeping his car.

Not implying your 2004SE should be priced identically but I think it would attract more interest in the $20-23k range.

Best of luck with your sale.

nice car with low miles . tough to sell a 986 for over 20k these days . that car is worth 22 to 23k in my area . still a tough sell because of so many newer cars in that price range.

Sorry about your father, I know how that feels.

The car is beautiful, and likely worth that price to the right person.
When I was looking, I would have tried to get you to take 23K for it

It is likely going to appreciate, both because of its stance as the "best of breed" for 986's, because of its rarity as a special edition, and because it is original and low miles. But until it does, it faces some stiff competition in that price range as an everyday sports car. And a lot of the enthusiasts lurking on this forum have the good sense not to muck up such a prime example, but since we love to muck up / mod our cars, it is not a great option for us. Furthermore, as a daily driver, which is what many of these cars become on the second/third hand market, the special edition interior parts, roof, and certain other parts are hard to obtain second hand if replacement should be necessary, thus increasing the cost of ownership. But these parts are part of the intrinsic allure of what you have, and as I said, to the right person, it is probably already worth it. You may just have to be patient finding that person. GLWS. If I were still looking...
