Whats it worth? 2001 Tip S 26K miles

Looking to buy Tip for wife.

Listed at 20,600 on Autotrader.

Edmunds suggests ~11.5k

KBB ~ 18K

That's a huge spread.

Options are Lintronics. 18" rims, sport touring, headlamp washers

I sold a '01S TIP AS 58K without Litronics with 17" for $13.5k in August of last year. N2 PS2s with perhaps 500 miles on them. Optima battery. Needed nothing. Maintenance records. Sold in 4 hours after listing on Craigslist with just a 3 line description and no pictures for a stack of $100s and I had people fighting to buy it from a location where they all had to travel 50+ miles just to see it.

Obviously I underpriced it since it went so fast but $20k seems $5k too high even for a lower mileage better optioned car.

$20k and $11k both sound pretty unreasonable to me. Unless the $20k car is mint/showroom and the $11k has been to hell and back.

If you do start negotiating for the car, stipulate that the car has to have a pre-buy inspection.....preferably by a Porsche dealer or a well respected independent technician, not by a friend of a cousin who knows not only how to spell Porsche but knows how to pronounce the word. The cost of the inspection will be, as you probably know, a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of a major "happening".

BTW, the car IS very pretty.
