The early 996 in silver/black.... is it now 'wanted'? Value?

[Orangecurry]

Is it the one to buy? Only you can say.

A friend of mine is considering selling his.

Valuation please!

Manual RWD.

Car has done 63k miles, Porsche replacement engine in 2005 at 23k miles.

This ISN'T his, but gives you an idea on what the trade are thinking....

Thanks in anticipation

Hmmmm, it's difficult to value without knowing whether the car is fitted with N rated tyres.
With them I'd be thinking £15k, but without them I wouldn't even entertain buying it

But seriously, the RPM car looks toppy bearing in mind its mileage and (for some) it's interior colour. Those side stripes knock a good £5k off its value too ........

[Orangecurry]

Thank you SD for that solid offer of 15k - I'll pass it on.

Indeed. That interior looks great.
Much better than either the OAP grey or the baby diahorea Savannah

I agree these are tricky to price. This might sound a little crazy for some; if somebody offered £25K for my Hartech'd C2 I would not sell the car. It is worth more to me than the price of a leggy 993 as they are so rewarding to drive. The laughable prices these sell for just don't correspond with what you get for the money

Boxster Red interior is superb, really bring the interior to life. It's the black and grey interiors which have aged badly.
No bias of course

In terms of valuation I'd say £12k if SH, etc. is in good order

[hornetrider]

The only problem with the red interior is when the carpets and wheel are also red - it's just too much. This one is nicely accented with black, also on the centre console.

[hornetrider]

Yeah. I meant overmats.

The RPM car is hoeplessly overpriced. I have a mate who is interested in a car the same spec as your friends (which I would value at circa £12k) drop me a PM if you wish to talk. Thanks, Jon.

agrred but all worse than black, boxster red is an odd shade of red - strange orange/terracotta tinge to it

that price seems silly and all the unusual bits look crap - window tints, stickers, and painted wheels

A pal of mine has just bought an incredible condition 1999 996 Manual in dark blue for £7800.

There is not a mark on the body, not a single ding and looks to vastly original paint work except the passenger door.

He has had to do 4 wheel refurbs and some leather care but nothing else.

low owners FPSH and engine recently rebuilt. (IMS)

I bought a 996 in identical spec and colour to that but with clear lights in may last year for £7200, stuck a couple of tyres on it and gave it a service, sold it for £9,200 5 months later.

If you look on 911uk.com there is someone coincidentally asking the same inane question.

Is this you as well? 'Only you can say'.

So why exactly would non N rated tyres stop you buying this car ????

I am working on it.

I will have you in a 993C2 manual by next Autumn.

Nahhhh that's nothing to do with me. Just a coincidence.

And you've misunderstood the meaning of the word 'inane' because the question I have asked is one designed to generate interest in the sale of a car.

And I asked two questions.

But apart from that, your post has hit the nail on the head.
