At a price.
Does look nice, though.

Is it the Anniversary model?

Wildly overpriced IMO.

That money buys a 2006/7 low mileage 997 turbo.

That is completely insane.. why would you buy this when you can get a nice 997.1 or EVEN probably can start considering a 997.2 for that price ??? Especially the latter even in Carrera NON-S mode would me a much better car..

And IMHO the only 996 to buy would be a 4S anyways. Only one which looks as a Porker should look. This tarted-up good-bye version is not nearly as nice. Sorry.

Actually I've saved you 10k to get a much better car... with an engine which shouldn't melt down any second.. (especially keeping in mind that the 8k miles 996 has every chance to show issues that have not been uncovered given it's never been used..)

The price is a joke. Only a fool would buy a 996 C2 for that price. Worth about £20K IMO and just as likely (if not more so with the ultra-low mileage) to explode than any other 996.

Agree, properly nuts that price. And yes, the anniversary always looked unresolved to my eye. Goppy front and skinny back. The 4s was how it should look really.

You'd be a complete idiot to pay that, even at £20k it would be a rip off. 996s just aren't sensitive to milage in the way that Fezzas are, and if you really wanted a low miler you'd be better off with something ilke this, a 991 for hardly any more cash

I see that one comes with "underground parking" too. That's a cool option.

Assuming the car was a trade-in, I wonder what price they gave for it. If they know the market then they must be hoping for a massive profit

£47k that is properly crackers... Is it April 1st?!?

Anniversary is a nice enough car with a great spec, but as said earlier the Turbo front looks a bit odd on the standard body.

Quick everybody, get in whilst values are low. You will kick yourself when these are over 100k.

How much would a 964 anniversary be worth now with 8K miles on the clock ?

In the trade that is known as being on drugs... Seriously speculative pricking .29990 would be pushing it
