996 buy it now for $32K...

I know this has high miles but seems like a very low price anyway??? Are 996 prices coming down this much?

92k miles on a '99 car ???? That sure seems like an ungodly amount of miles per year and probably is what has driven the price down.

That and the fact that the motor is full of water.

"an exhaust sensor will occasionally trigger the check engine light. This has no effect on the cars running condition as is quite common with them."

Is this even true?

A lot of the high end market on eBay is really just a fishing expedition. I have been tracking 1999 996's for a few months and you can buy a decent 996 with <40K miles for $40-$42,000 but the majority never meet reserve. A lot of dealers do use the contacts and make deals off line.

Hell, I've seen 97 Boxsters for $25-27. I agree with Wayne about the 993 vs the 996.

I have seen boxers for $19,999 a couple of times. High milers but look good in the trader picture??

I think I would by a high mile 996 before a high mile 993. Not sure why? just a feeling. Either way it looks like you can get a good used tranny for $2500 and a good used motor for ~$8K for either car.

Call me when they crack $25K : -))
