Hi all,
newbie here and on the cusp of purchasing a 2009 C2S 6MT with 40k miles. No issues, clean in every way. Gray/black leather comfort seats, sport Chrono, premium Bose sound.

Question, in your opinion, what’s a fair market value for this vehicle?

Thanks

$55k

Just sold an ‘09 C2 coupe with 89k miles for $50k. An S with less than half the miles must be at least $60k.

60-65K in Tri-state Area.

From what I have recently seen the dot two market appears to be cooling. Uncertain if it is seasonal or if individuals are beginning to get concerned about the economy? Nevertheless YMMV depending on where you reside or where the car is located.

Edit: Just realized it’s an S, so $70k-$75k.

A non-S C2 6MT would be $60k-$65k imo

Fair market value retail or private party?

ATX_Native

I would consider it a price sold retail or private party to an end user/owner.

I personally see any car that’s 10+ years old being sold by a dealer as more suspect than buying from an enthusiast or PCA Member because of deferred maintenance or repairs.

So buying from a dealer has no draw for me, plus you have to deal with a dealer and their F&I guy which is usually never a great experience.

If plan to keep long term, don’t worry about whether it’s 55 or 65k. If passes PPI, and optioned/color you want, just buy it. Will take you long time to find the “one” at what will be a great price. Life’s short and you could lose many months to year+ of driving joy for couple k.

64 - 66K....manual and S....you will be smiling in two years (these manual coupe 997.2's have not been "discovered" as yet)

Thats more of a $70k-$75k car, if it’s an S.

At least from what I have seen in the last few months.

I agree. The 997.2 in manual will do well long term, it’s such a good mix of old school raw and modern.

Thanks for the responses. I’m looking at $75k from private seller. Has few mods, what I would consider OEM+ (tune and exhaust/muffler).

That's a strong price. That sounds like Spring '22 prices, which have come and gone for all cars. I'm sure it's an excellent car, but I wouldn't pay more than $70k for it. Actually, I'd try to find a mint, low mileage base car for ~$15k less, and change out the suspension for $2k. From a driving perspective, a 997.2 base is 95% the car an S is, imo. If you're an option *****, however, most base cars don't have the luxuries of an S like leather dash.

At $75k, I'd rather save up another $10/15k and get a mid-mileage GTS.

^ this.

I love my C2 6MT and it’s $10k-$12k price savings over an S.

Plus I love the black gauges on the non-S.

I know I am in the minority but IMO the gauges on an S reminds me of an old 2001 Maxima SE Manual I had a long time ago.

Hard to read at dusk and the warning light cutouts were seen during the day which adds to clutter in the cluster.

this thread should be deleted asap.

997.2 the best 911 hands down.
