Race ready, lol. That thing's been for sale in Palm Springs for months if not over a year.

Thanks man! That was really the key point for me... in a life centered around accumulating more money because that's just how I'm many of us are wired, it kept bugging me that if I pass on this car, I might never get another chance at something like this again. The money will be there, it will hopefully continue to accumulate, but there are only so many of these examples. I'm obsessed with "value" and getting a good deal so this obviously(!!) went against those ethos, but if someone buys this that is going to post pictures on RL or IG and I have to see it, I definitely won't be OK with knowing I could have bought the car. Regret is a b*tch.

Included in the sale: a tape of that bad Eagles cover band...

Good thing I was banned from commenting on BAT. That just saved me an hour of my life 😂

Not sure whats' so bad about the white with martini stickers C4 on BAT rite now, there are paint meter readings, engine out service, its not hard to remove the stickers, fix the dash, new shifter, cup 1 style wheels and you have a beautiful GP white C4 (considering that mechanicals are all good)

If that's Palm desert Auto I personally wouldn't purchase. The seller came off as a bit of a jerk when I tried to negotiate a lower price on a 964 that had an accident and what seemed to be a shoddy repair based on pics. Gave me the "I sell so many porsches, 964's, blah blah blah...." speech. I just let it go.

Sorry I missed this - Doing fine. Driving it a bit just for fun while I sort out my garage remodel,,,then it’s FULL disassembly!

I think it’s less about the car and more about what people do to and say about these cars lately to maximize their money. I guess it’s not really something to poke fun at, if it’s been working for people.

Tarek307

Jeff i think What people say doesn't matter and doesn't "Maximize" anything, supply & demand do. I personally would want the cars to be cheaper because i buy and sell them and would invest less money in each car that way- but i don't get why it seems many here on the forums are just upset that their 964 has appreciated in value. I'm sure i don't need to add that the 964 is by far at least IMO the best all encompassing N/A aircooled 911 from looks to performance to comfort, it just took a while for it to be appreciated (not saying this to maximize price lol)

Lorenzoh

Your right...pull off all the junk and it’s probably a decent car that, with a little work, would make a nice driver. My point was however it will be fun to see the usual tools on BAT fawn over this thing 😂

jeff33702

Supply and demand, I agree, drives the market...but what people say and do, does influence demand. That rough widebody that sold in the 80s a while back..had martini livery and great pictures = boosted that sale. Your reputation for documenting cars well definitely impacts the selling price. It’s definitely not just one thing but selling strategies (what people say) is part of it.

Lorenzoh

What you’re talking about it marketing. Plain and simple. Some people take advantage of deception marketing for a quick buck. Others, like Tim Holt for example, offer quality mostly unmolested cars in great shape and they are very transparent. Thus they charge a premium and usually get it because they are honest and have a good reputation in the Porsche community.

Yeah, I think they wanted $60K for it if I remember correctly.

That was the point of my post. A seller marketing (saying race ready or adding livery stickers) is what people are chuckling about. As Tarek said, the car as a whole might not be that bad.
