You called it @LeeM 😁 I just noticed that it's now: Gone up in price from $40k to $45k Had a transmission swap at some time this afternoon 😂... Was listed as a manual, now a tipper... Maybe still reasonably priced if all the important stuff has been done, but being a tipper, not a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably priced right, though the car in basically the same spec I drove for @Harsh earlier this year was $10k cheaper and lower kms (I'm told it actually sold for less than that), so it will be interesting to see if it sells near the asking price Harsh and JWM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalon Posted 19August, 2019 Report Share Posted 19August, 2019 Just came across this on a Craigslist ad over in the states and thought some people keeping an eye on this thread might be interested.

There are plenty of 996s in the US at this price point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted 19August, 2019 Report Share Posted 19August, 2019 Things are so cheap over there! Mind you, I can imagine that many are not particularly well looked after when that’s all they’re worth...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't treated very nicely over there IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he accidentally listed it as a manual, was trying to change it. Still was probably good buying at $39k as it was initially listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still buy one if was in the market at the lower price point like that SA black one, yet if and when I'm ready to look at a 996, I'd prefer a manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
