Fabian Posted 2August, 2022 Report Share Posted 2August, 2022 Im thinking about selling my modified 2001 manual 3.6L 996.2 Only 88,000kms. new clutch, just serviced. full service history. coilivers full headers and exhaust. LOTS of extras I’m the fifth owner with everyone documented. I’ve spoken to every owner. 3rd owner painted the car White after accident. Originally Silver. - WOVR RECORDED - unfortunately due to the 3rd owner under insuring it’s worth 12 years ago. Will effect value dramatically which I understand. What’s it worth ? 85k or a lot less? 😬 sjm, GTP911 and NAC911 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 2August, 2022 Report Share Posted 2August, 2022 Well, at least you've started off honest and realistic... I think you should post up more photos and full list of the improvements, plus a thorough explanation of the WOVR situation - there will be buyers open to the caveat if they understand the history ( for instance, hail damage vs flooding etc...). Are original parts available? Does the cage come out? Factory white etc... Looks a cracker GLWS Fabian and NAC911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the WOVR impacts the value that much if everything if fully documented including repairs. Fabian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 2August, 2022 Report Share Posted 2August, 2022 under insuring is a common problem. When i bought my current 997, 3 years ago the previous owner knew it was insured. Problem was when he checked, it was only insured for 50k. I would wager more than a few owners of modern classics are under insured. Depending on the damage that totaled it, would reckon your on the money. nice stance, looks the biz. Fabian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverRA23 Posted 2August, 2022 Report Share Posted 2August, 2022 Hard to find a manual 996 coupe at the moment so that will be in your favour. The mods probably limit your market a bit. But can't see why you wouldn't start at 85k and see what happens. Fabian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 2August, 2022 Report Share Posted 2August, 2022 It looks nice but no matter how well documented it is the WOVR status will make it much harder to sell and will hurt it's value quite a bit. I think $85k would be an optimistic price even if it had no WOVR history. Boosh, Troubleshooter, Joz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. If a car gets hit and the owner chooses to get it repaired, no one will ever know and it is smooth sailing. I have owned several WOVR cars and enjoyed them with zero issues, but no matter how good they are, they were always a pig to sell.

WOKA Posted 4August, 2022 Report Share Posted 4August, 2022 Thinking of selling my 01 996 Manual Coupe :-/ Owned it now for 6+ years and have really enjoyed it, but it with the '76 coupe, is for me a coupe too many. Looking to maybe get a Macan for my highway pursuits. Tell me I'm crazy, or not.. Black on black in good condition - its black after all and a bitch to look after with I about 125k on the clock, and about 90k on the swapped motor, done I think according to PCB back in 2005. IMS solution done at ~87k (on the clock) along with clutch, AOS, seals, brakes etc etc.. Water pump replaced maybe 8000km ago along with coil packs and a new MAF. L&N Coil-overs with 19" Lobster Claws running PS4's with maybe 3000km on them. Service records for most of the work done with regular service intervals. Wheels need power coating due to a poor paint job a while ago, and other things need touching up here at there but otherwise an excellent, reliable and fun car. Short shirt, Gemballa aluminium pedals and other stuff I'm sure. Can I shop for pricing in this threat..? I guess so.. The band-aid has now been ripped off and the cards are in the air. Lets see how they fall.. Thoughts please peoples.. As a recap - my 996 journey started here.. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how they fall.. Thoughts please peoples.. As a recap - my 996 journey started here.. @WOKA, I paid $69k for same age, slightly more kms overall but only 50k kms on a Porsche supplied motor in 2011 (bigger IMS bearing then so no need for IMS upgrades), brand new tyres on GT3 wheels, purchased about 2 months ago. Pricing was similar to Jeff's car sold slightly before mine, his had a few more kms though I think. So, I'd think your pricing is somewhere in the $70-$75 area. Mine was originally advertised at $75k. Fully matching no's car probably $80k??? And I love driving it too, much more road friendly and comfortable than my GT3 I must admit - lacks the Mezger punch, but it still aint half bad 🙂 tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell them anything, and they'll take it as gospel if it's high and tell everyone that's what their car is worth.

I’m not seeing a lot nice ones on offer, other than Turbos. But I think the Turbo & GT3 owners are pretty well insulated from a price downturn. And judging by the cars on offer (on FB & Reddit etc), I’d say the owners are sweating the maintenance costs. Probably a good time for them to switch to a new Camry under warranty 😬 NAC911, Sov and JLD 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
