I agree on premiums for special rare colors although this is usually only a factor after condition, miles, maintenance + records etc are all in place and accounted for. We saw the step sister to this car a year older and a C4. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...911-carrera-4/ barely pull in $28k but rightfully so. The color just wasn't enough and probably brought more interest than if it was one of the standard colors. It will be interesting to see what this brings in comparison to the other. Although a similar car with roughly 40k miles a number of years back brought $44k when comparable cabs were bringing High $20's to low $30's.
It will be worth watching where this goes although there is a lot of stuff said that makes no sense on BaT which can kill a sale over nonsense and just as many yahoos that speak out there back end over cars i wouldn't buy with other peoples money. I know of a couple of people I feel were manipulated in the sale of their 993TT's so I put less merit in sale prices there than many of you.
I must say I have grown very fond of maritime blue these past few years.

Don't know if this is legit, but figured I share this. I'm in the market for a 996 myself, but this might interest someone here.

Looks like a nice one. Love the interior. I would pursue this one if I hadn't just found mine.

^^^ A lot of work done and very little actually known. No mention of engine serial number being a 91 is it an early or late style engine and so much is done how can one trust the miles shown. Not saying it isn't worth $70k but would need to check it out thoroughly.
#4387
Can you say more about early vs late style engines? I just bought a 1990 and wasn't aware of this.

For $70k things like the missing gasket on the rear left taillight, a set of Chinese tires or a pretty dirty engine bay...would bother me and sway me towards a 996 GT3!
Also "car sometimes doesn't start"??! " Due for a service?!?!?"
Pretty pictures but not a "for sale ad" pictures..
It seems like he took care of all little details but I would afraid to take a long trip on this car...

If your engine doesn’t have significant leaks it has likely already been addressed. Cars that haven’t been addressed can have significant leaks to the point that oil on exhaust causes smoke/smell while driving.

I appreciate the transparency in the ad but this doesn't sound like a $70k car or even close.
"Known Issues
- Occasionally doesn’t start on the first key turn after spirited driving, or after sitting in the sun for an extended period of time
- If it doesn’t start on the second key-turn attempt, I place it in Reverse gear, and then re-attempt a key-turn, and then it starts
- Right passenger low beam headlight does not work (the high beams work, and I always prefer to use those on air-cooled 911’s anyways, so this never bothered me)
- Driver door appears to have had some amount of small body work / paint in the past (only noticeable in certain light)
- Due for scheduled service"

The one I bought was built out to a 3.8 a couple years ago and new head gaskets used at the time. Leakdown test I had done showed less than 2% on all cylinders.

Yup.^

Ebay really is just not an optimal place to buy or sell a car. Personally, I've only ever used it to identify cars to buy, which I then pursue offline.

This is an ebay classifieds ad, if I'm not mistaken, so that means standard practice is to go offline for a PPI and the usual due diligence, before making an offer. Much easier to do that for an auction, but it would still make one nervous that someone else could make an offer the buyer accepts while you are still in the inspection phase.

92+ 964 had head gaskets to improve reliability. Being this a 91 it could have either engine depending on production number.

I am looking for a non black targa. I am in no rush but they seem to be fairly rare. What do you think of this one? The description is thin on details.
