Default Ballpark figure of what I should offer for this car?

Hi All,

Found a really clean 2000 Carrera with only 19k miles and a handful of nice mods (i.e. Gemballa adj susp, exhaust, front splitter, sway bars and a set of 18" BBS LMs). No experience on the Gemballa stuff so not sure how much of a premium that would add to the price. Thanks in advance guys!

Here's some pics....

That thing has extraordinary low mileage!! That could be a good or bad thing, depending on what you are looking to do with the car.

A lot of very tasteful modifications- if those are your cup of tea (they are mine!)

Sharp looking car!!

Sorry I can't help with a $$ value, but I would suggest browsing the completed auctions on ebay and see what they are selling for with that kind of mileage (if you can even find any!!)

I would expect the car to bring a premium over others assuming it is one owner, fully documented, original window sticker, etc. Also if it has the original parts removed for the mods.

Personally, I won't offer any more money for mods. Thats somewhere to start.

That's the cleanest underbelly I've ever seen. Have you had a PPI done yet? Service records?

If it all checks out it looks like a winner. I do like the mods that have been done. As far as the money goes that all is what its worth to you given what else that you can find etc but after looking last year when I bought I think that its worth at least 35k IMO

Is that an after-market front bumper cause I can't seem to see any seams between lip and bumper. Look around for similar cars (porsche options) and then add a few bucks for after-market stuff. It all depends on how much you want it to be yours.

Good luck

No set price. He wants me to take a look at the car and decide for myself. He's in no rush to sell since his GT3 won't be here until early 08 and I'm in no rush to buy so this may actually favor me. Soooooo, $35k out the door then?

Guy's in FL, travels a lot, elderly gentleman, original owner, mainly a toy, told me its won several best in show...here's a quote....sounds to be a straight up guy.

"I have never driven the car in the rain and it has won every car show or Concours entered including Rennfest Judges Choice and Best in Class at the Hilton Head Concours de Elegance which is an invitation only event."

Very nice and clean car! I think $35k is a fair price (when PPI confirms that there are no issues). However, I'd start offering maybe $32k and see how he reacts. I'm sure he has an offer from his dealer as GT3 trade in for maybe $30k.

If ever a car was worth a slight premium for condition, its this one. If the PPI comes back flawless, which seems likely, someone will pay him 35k for it. Let that someone be you, I can't see how you would regret this purchase.

I think $35k would be a great deal for that car. I would be surprised if that is enough to move the seller, though.
