Might buy this 1999 C4 on eBay -haalp!

Don't know if I'm going into quicksand, or if I got a good deal. I'd like some opinions.

I "won" a 1999 C4 coupe on eBay -- 113K miles on chassis, 2 owners; new "crate" engine 30K miles ago (including, purportedly, all accessories), and rebuilt trans about 10K miles ago, with new clutch. Car was up for sale twice on eBay: the first time, no one bid on it; the second time, I was the only one bidding, and got it with the starting price of $17,900.

Meanwhile, all the other 1999 coupes are going for around $22-24K on eBay, with numerous bidders. What is it that everyone in the world knows about this car that I don't know? Does this car have a reputation from somewhere else, or is it possible that this is a good deal? (I really don't believe in good deals....)

Here's the link to the car on eBay. Porsche : 911 : eBay Motors (item 190367350817 end time Jan-28-10 21:11:40 PST)

Appreciate anyone's inputs.
Thanks.

link didn't work for me... If you like the car and feel you got a fair price, I wouldn't worry about it. The last thinkg you want to hear is if you overpaid (and I don't know if you did). Enjoy it!

Seems like a very good deal. Newish drivetrain makes it almost better than ones with lower mileage.

Wayne and Racer,
Thanks for your inputs. I have continued to follow Porsches on eBay as well as those on AutoTrader. Even the junkiest, "in need of slight repairs," are going for over $15K -- well, at least that is the advertised price.

Maybe this guy is like me -- never get what you've put into the car, and always sell at a happy loss.

Sounds good.
