Carmax-Have Prices Dropped That Much?

Just saw a nice appears to be unmolested black/black with 17k miles for sale in FL on the Carmax website for $69, 998. Have prices dropped that much since I (regrettably) sold mine and purchased a 2007 911TT?

Great thing about Carmax is you can get a super warranty.

Yes, prices are there. But look at it first before forming an opinion. Quite a few cars I've seen online at Carmax look a lot worse in person.

$70k is still a solid number, These cars have been around for nearly 6 years already(first ones got delivered in aug/sept 2007). Not many 6 year old cars out there that are worth 51-55% of their original MSRP.

You said it yourself, "appears to be unmolested"..... There are quite a few of these cars for sale around the country. Many of them have had multiple previous owners, driven hard and put away wet. Although these cars are pretty bulletproof, they can start to show some serious signs of neglect due to severe Neglect. If you are in the market for a CLK Blk and you are looking to keep it long term, I would suggest that you pay a few dollars more and get one that has been well taken care of. Just my $.02 of course.

Don't be sorry. I was only watching it because I generally monitor the market for rare cars.

I'm really glad you grabbed it. Seemed clean. I highly approve of this impulse buy.
