dealer retail if the car is mint is probably around $45k. She's asking a lot.

personal sale is probably high $30k's low $40k's.

incredible hit on a $100k 6 year old car... ouch.

Thats very few miles and purists usu want a few more miles per year. May have some seals, bushing issues. Get her down a little more... Had a 2002, 911C2. Great car!

Have it checked before you buy. Sounds like garage queen.

Is it a Cabrio, S or 4S?
That invoice seems high.
Depending on what it is - mid to high 30's seems right

Would also highly recommend a PPI - pre- purchase inspection. Remember its a 7 year old car.

I have an 06 Boxster and love it. You could pick up an 07 boxster now for 10-12K off msrp and have a brand new car thats loads of fun - if you dont need the backseats,

there is no such thing as an 01 S or 4S.

Mickey,

you're looking at high 30's. Buyer beware though, larger pecentage of the 01's had RMS issues which means new motors. I suggest 02 or later.

Price seems high, you could pull that from a dealer. Get it in the mid 30's.

Hey Mickey,

Good luck with your impending purchase. 996's have really dropped a ton in value. You can obviously pick up a very nice example. But don't feel that if you let a car go, there won't be another one right behind it.
Part of the fun of owning a Pcar is the search for the perfect one. So don't be in too much of a rush.
Are you sure for example that you want a 996? Do you maybe want a 993 instead? Do you want a cab or a targa, a later model S or all wheel drive? It sounds to me like you are working a little backwards. You can find plenty of vehicles in a reasonable price range so take the time to find the right car.
Low mileage is not neccessarily a bad thing as fluids have been changed regularly.
Also, post a link to the car. Let us take a look.

Have you also visited www.rennlist.com? It's a great forum for porsche owners like X5 world.

Good luck and keep us posted.
