996TT Price Advice

[boysey]

Looking for a bit of guidance on price, looking at a

September 2002 (52) Turbo, Manual
29K Miles, Full Porsche History, 2 Owners, Basalt black, Black Leather

Not 100% sure of the exact spec. but has Aero kit, Sat Nav, Aluminium Kit, Phone, Etc

It's a private sale, no porsche warranty (expired) but would have to add the price of the inspection + 12 months warranty on top (£870), been offered the car at £54k, bottom line.

Seems like a reasonable price looking around but not a great price? Everyone is saying the prices are in free fall but as the 997 Turbo is still 12 months away with a big waiting list I can't imagine prices getting too much lower in the next 6-12 months?

What do you reckon?

Trade for this car would be around 51 to 52k - so it seems like a fair price.
There is a car that I know that's up for sale in Classifieds - an 01 car with 20k miles. It's probably one of the best available - the owner is very fastidious - you should take a look........

I did see that one but am afraid the blue interior isn't for me, otherwise I would have taken a look!

[mbutchers]

Have you taken a look at the Metropole Blue..... It's virtually black - unless you had a black interior side by side with it you'd be hard pressed to tell.......

[boysey]

Yep I saw one and wasn't keen :-(

oh go on dont be silly have a look in the flesh. I was in the same boat as you, and now have a lovely blue leather 996tt. It give the interor a needed bit of subtle colour.

If it was just the seats and a bit of trim I could cope .. it was the blue 'everywhere' I didn't care for so am afraid I am looking for just the boring black ... any comments on the price of said example?

[mbutchers]

As I said 54k is good for year spec etc..... OPC price would be 60k+...
Get the 111 point check done, but beware OPC's are known to tell the odd porky......
Apparently Turbo's are trading just above Glasses trade figures at the moment, a standard car books around 51-52k trade - which gives the dealers a nice little profit after prep.....

and they are in demand, I can sell everyone I can get my mits on in good colours

[Adam B]

seems a very fair price, also a 52 so decent PCM2 not PCM1 with a tape player!?!?

with you on the blue interior too, not good

Has the situation changed recently then? A few months ago they were well behind book.

Yeah, think it's a temp uplift, before the 997TT arrives, then prices will steadily decline..

IMO




I'm not really looking to buy one.
