I ran it once last spring. It's a great drive but the 996 has far, far too much power for that kind of road. Unless you're being reckless (I wasn't, not only would I not push it 9/10 on that road...

Advice on how/where to sell, price point.

I got mine through a local credit union. Financing for a 10 year old car will be more restricted but a CU will probably be able to do it for you.

Yeah, ten bucks says it's your coils. Your engine was hot and dry in a cold and wet environment, going to pick up a lot of moisture and condensation.
