So the car that I looked at last week that couldn't get a PPI done until next week...

They apparently put it on ebay without saying anything to me and sold it a couple of days ago. What the gently caress? gently caress you.

Bullet dodged my friend.

I recognize the differences but have you given any thought to looking at a Cayman S? The performance is relative unless you're tracking.

The other big problem is that apart from a few special models and the original, 1964-73 cars (and even then not all of those), the 911 is not rare enough to warrant that kind of special treatment, and likely never will be either.

Unless the market makes them artificially rare, which is what we're seeing now. Whoever thought 996s would be in demand?

Personally if I ever won the lottery I'd buy a Singer and drive the piss out of it. Daily driver. Same with a lot of other classic and rare cars.

Found an X50 car on Autotrader. In Illinois so not terribly far from me, <20k miles. Listed for $46k. :crossarms:

Gonna give them a call tomorrow. Rennlist seems to think it's a car that a forum member had that had a bad rotten egg smell from the exhaust. Must be pretty bad at that mileage/price.

There's also a lower mileage X50 car that is obviously a scam since it's listed at $35k and has popped up twice tonight listed with different dealers.

I am also slowly coming to the realization that I might have to go with a silver car to get something in my price range. They're definitely cheaper than other colors.

Just saw this, seems like a pretty decent deal--maybe too good of a deal? https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/cto/5284598835.html

No one should pay more than $15k for a base 996 right now. If you do, you're both buying the least-desirable 911 on the planet, and a fool parting with his money.

Where are you finding these magical $15k 996s?

Wow. That might be the worst example of the breed possible. And I'm not even referring to condition.

Nice pictures though!

Just checking my local market, here and here? They're all over. A bunch at that pricepoint listed on cars.com too. Plus... Negotiation? This doesn't change the fact that it's still the least-awesome 911. At least get a 996t.

There's a few there, I'll give you that. But 100k mile plus automatics are not exactly what anyone in this thread is looking for. I can only assume none of these gems have any documentation...as to be expected.

Consensus from an impartial group of car enthusiasts is infinitely more credible than Scott at the dealership, imo.

Agreed. I'm glad you took the advice. Just reading your post made me nervous.

Check that silver one out carefully, if you do go look. I'd wager it was hit in the front.

What makes you say this? I'm viewing on mobile granted.
