considering that blackbook calls it 69-78, he might be a wee bit rich there... who knows though.

not like it's a standout colour or anything either... he may be sitting on that a long while.

Wow, asking 100K for that 911...  ::)
Granted, there's no such thing as a "ho-hum" 911, but that example ain't anything special.

And going through autotrader, I am assuming he is looking for a private sale?  Good luck with that. 
Unless maybe some Americans are coming up here with the strong USD?  Even so, 2012 911s are way less than 80K USD.

Since everyone is saying it's overpriced, show me a cheaper 991 (not a 997.2).. I think it's in the same ballpark as comparable cars.

I looked for 1 second and found this.  Same year..Same car, 1/2 the KMs...cheaper.  I'm sure you might find a newer one for less if you looked.

That's the only '12 991 S on AutoTrader that is cheaper and has fewer KMs.

There's also this one, which has more KMs but is a bit cheaper: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/911/Vancouver/British+Columbia/5_27065009_20120411103738204/?ursrc=hl&showcpo=ShowCPO&orup=7_15_21

It might be slightly high but I'd say it's right in the ballpark.

There aren't any '13s that are cheaper, either.

Edit: That's also a very desirable spec. Sport exhaust, adaptive seats, sport chrono, etc. That alone is a good $10k in options.

Alright, maybe 5%-10% higher than others.. not terribly overpriced though. Now, how to come up with a $100k car budget..

10% is lots of cheddar when you're playing in that ballpark!   :o

This is nice too....http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/911/Oakville/Ontario/5_27324812_20130514154504577/?ursrc=hl&showcpo=ShowCPO&orup=3_100_43

And a 4S for a tick more than Bossman's car would be an option too..  http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/911/Woodbridge/Ontario/5_27438469_ON20080128101817289/?ursrc=hl&showcpo=ShowCPO&orup=7_100_9


Didn't look nationally...

That 4S is a 997 though.

Yep!  Wouldn't kick it out of my garage.

Though if I was spending $100K, I'd be looking for an older turbo.  Or if I wanted the car to appreciate, a 1996 911.

Depends what you want.

Love the pricing @ $100,900.   The inference being that the 900 bucks is the discount.  :rofl2:

Fwiw, the reason why I posted the ad wasn't to get bidders for his car - I wanted to know what y'all thought of his selling strategy.

And now I know ;D

Because the partner of a law firm can't be caught dead in a 2012. That's Sooooo 2012 - he needs to get with the times.

...or something.
