If $11K makes you happy....it's a good price. Depends on who has disposable income.

They say the economy is coming back.....my guess you'll get more than a few 8K offers.

[runfaster]

I hope you are getting another Porsche. That car has been good to you.

[kidrock]

I don't believe that a starting asking price of $12.5 K would be out of the question. Looks like a cream puff to me.

[DanielDudley]

It is a looker, and that is worth a little when it comes to closing the deal.

[Driver8]

You can always come down on your price, you can never go up.

[911FASCINATION]

I'm with kidrock-I'd start at 12.5, you can always negotiate from there, that car presents itself really well.

[Danny_Ocean]

Also agree. At $11k, that'll go quick. I'd start in the 12's or 13's.

[oregonmon]

Great guys, I sort of thought $11 seemed sort of low but I'm not completely in touch with the market right now. Considering the money I've put into it as well.
I do notice there's not really much to speak of on my local Portland craigslist. I think I'll check Seattle's too.
I'm a little hesitant to use ebay for car sale, rather deal locally but we will see.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think your 11K price is too low, at least for asking. You can do better than that. Look around on the net and you will see how you compare. Good luck and nice car.

and it has some desirable features - mainly the rear 8" x 16" rims, and the front/rear spoilers.

I like the color combo (anything other than red, white, or black...), and the interior looks pretty good for that many miles. The paint seems to have some issues (looks pretty good from the photos), but if it has had no accident damage, and you feel a PPI would turn up good results (mainly decent compression/leak-down, and a decent shifting 915), it should command a good offer.

I'd start at $14k unless you are in a rush to sell. Laugh at $8k offers, please p.m. me if you go that low, I'll scrape up that much coin....
