The 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe sold for $77,067, which I’d call fair money for this high-mileage, modified beast.

This 996 Turbo packs a Mezger 3.8L turbocharged flat-6 engine modified to crank out a whopping 660 horsepower. That’s serious power, especially for a car with a manual transmission—always a plus for driving purists. The all-wheel-drive system adds to its appeal, making it a solid choice for those who want performance in various conditions. With over $40,000 spent on upgrades like K24 turbos and COBB Tuning, this isn't just a stock 911; it's a serious contender on both the street and track.

Now, let’s talk about the price. With 112,600 miles on the clock, this 996 sold for $77,067 after 37 bids. The fair value estimate was pegged at $83,400, which means it went for about 8% under market value. Given the modifications and the sought-after manual transmission, I’d say the price was on the lower end of fair. The heated bidding suggests there’s still robust interest in these cars, especially those with extensive performance upgrades.

The community chimed in as well. One commenter noted, “How about a round of applause for one of the most responsive and transparent sellers!” This feedback highlights the importance of trust in the buying process, especially for a car with such a storied reputation and potential issues.

For those hunting a similar ride, keep an eye on the car’s service history and modifications. Look for detailed records of any performance upgrades and make sure they were done by a reputable shop. High miles can be a concern, but if the car has been well-maintained and thoughtfully modified, it can still be a fantastic buy.
