Yeah that is a confusing point.Needed a clutch at 32k? Ouch.
Could have been a leaking clutch slave cylinder. 30k is nothing and if that's true, the breaks on this thing are shot. Well at least the fluid is. Unless it got more service in yearly oil and brake fluid changes.Yeah that is a confusing point.

I don't think it would last very long at $4k with those miles. And I don't pretend to know what the market price for that car will be when it does sell, but I'm smart enough to know I've seen a lot less go for a lot more, and so what if the guy wants to fish around above where it will sell? You can always come down, but it's a lot harder to go up.It's still only a 3 grand car. 4 to the right buyer. This 7k nonsense is just a premium that somone might consider.
If it was a garage queen with perfect paint, maybe. But it's not.
I don't think it looks like a 333k car, I've seen cars with less than 33k in a lot worse condition than that. It has some imperfections to the bumper paint but I don't see anything that significant. What I do see is a car that probably was owned by some older folks that didn't get driven a lot.Car does not look like 33k car , it maybe 333K, those older cars will go up to 300k then turn to 0 miles at Odo.
He's waited 23 years to sell. He's got looooots of time to fish. Being in Washington, we should give him credit for keeping it under $20k, as NCC would've tried.so what if the guy wants to fish around above where it will sell?
Bob, while I agree with you, we won't know what the price was, I would say that we'd be safe in guessing that it was somewhere between $5k and $7k. Do I think it was $7k? Well, I'd say that since it was likely the drop from $8k to $7k that triggered the sale or a discussion, I'd think we're actually safe if we said $6k. I can't imagine (as a seller) that I'd be interested in lopping off more than 25% from my asking price. Do I think the car was worth $8k....don't know, I'm not there to look at it, but the miles and body condition certainly could justify a price in that range. Unfortunately I don't like to value things that I can't see in person, but I do know that prices for everything appear to be going up.Asking price of a car (and most things) for sale does not indicate the selling selling price. In private personal property sales, such as a car, where there is not 3rd party in the transaction, and the purchaser is on the honor system to report the sales/purchase price for purchase sales/title tax purposes, even those reported prices are (can be) suspect. Just cause someone advertised a car for sale at $7K; when the add is marked sold; nothing in those two events establishes that the car actually sold for $7K. Unless you were party to the transaction, you do not really know.
Exactly what Porsche are you going to be buying that "is much nicer condition with only 2x milage for the same age" and "for 7k?"It's not so much the (car is worth 7 or 8k) it's the (what can you buy with that $) and the answere is completly dependent on who is buying it. Clearly we wont know the final sale price...... but for 7 k, I would be buying a used porsche is much nicer condition with only 2x the milage for the same age. And that's still a very good deal!
Boxsters have gone up in price so that ship said a year or 2 ago.... used to be able to get them for about that much, now its a lot more.Exactly what Porsche are you going to be buying that "is much nicer condition with only 2x milage for the same age" and "for 7k?"
