Ummm.. YES!!!!!!

Is that US$ or Canadian? Either way, good price! ESPECIALLY on a C4.

Too bad it's a coupe... convertible would be better... worthy replacement for an S2000, IMHO. (if it were a convertible, that is...)

Porshe kills you on the options, and that is a pretty decent list. You did not list cruise control though... a must on a Porshe...

 

That's Porsche, Sparky, not Porshe.

 

If you like a car enough, any price is a good price.

But if you buy a car for playing, hoping to sell it after a year or two and make minimal loses, THEN this is not a good buy. Reason being when potential buyers look at your car, they would judge the price according to what C4 are selling out there, which is around $80000-$90000 USD. It does not matter what options you have, because not everyone will like them and hence won't count the value of the options. For $100000USD you can get the previous generation turbo with low millage.

Going to have to put this one in the Waiting Room, fellas! Good luck with the Porsche though.

 

To the land of no return...

What's the price difference between the C4 and the twin turbo? I thought the tt was in the 120k range. I'd go for the tt, hopefully a few more years of double/split on the company stock, I could consider that too...

 

MSRP for a 2001 C4 996 Coupe is $72,000. The options you list are probably about $6K - $8K.

The non-Porsche upgrades *detract* from the value, not add.

Sounds like the price is about right. Certainly not a steal. I'd stretch a few $K more and get a 2001 set up just the way I like, if it were me.

 

By the way, MSRP for the 2001 996 Turbo is $111,000 + options, although good luck getting one without a mark-up thats equivelant to the price of an S2K!

A quick look on the net shows a retail of about $61 - 66K, and 102K Canadian is worth about $65K today, so it is not a steal. With the low miles and equipment it is ok if you really like it.
