Help me out here (996 value)

The 996 cars have gone up in the past year. My daily car search is 996.2 and 997 cars. I've seen 996.2 c4s cars go for 25k to 34k. 996.2 C4S have never been a sub 20k car and if there were a few sold near 20k they weren't good examples or title was rebuilt or salvage.

I havent seen a nice C4S go for less than $26k.

I don't think the Targa this thread is about is very overpriced. I could see it going a few thousand less at the most. I think if you want to get a crazy deal on a 996 and not wait years with CASH ON HAND in the process, you can't go looking for rare packages or options like a Targa with aero pkg etc etc.

My bad, didn't realize they were works. Carry on.

That can't be right as it would mean that I own a car that I didn't sell five minutes before prices started going up...

I have seen the cheapest (worst?) ones getting cheaper still. I havent really seen the 'good ones' getting any cheaper.

Starting in 04, with the gt3 it because more common but tge targas had some strange options available. Also, the sports package doesn't really increase its value. The sports muffler thing is funny. It didn't increase hp, wasn't really lighter and not much of an increase in sound. It comes from the 996/1 being too quiet. All 996/2s got louder.

There should be a sticker on the underside of the frunk listing all the option codes from the car. Very easy to look up and see exactly what the car was ordered with.

For instance this car has the CF steering wheel, but it wasn't on the snap shot of the invoice.

It is a nicely optioned car. I think priced slightly high given the miles and targa, but only by a couple grand.

It shows XPD. 3-spoke Steering Wheel In Carbon/leather Includes: Leather Steering wheel

If you click on the features, must be cut off on the sticker
