Welcome to ThunderDome here....don't have to be nice rules here. The owner is a focking IDIOT for not getting LWB seats with houndstooth. I sure hope for the OP that they are consigning the car.

 

I wouldn't comment on a sale thread in the marketplace- you can price the car as you see fit.

but by posting in both places I figured you wanted some discussion on it.

 

It's called "pepita" has more value $$

A Canadian car, doubt its consignment.

 

A Canadian car and sofas....oh that's a double FAIL! Sure hope they didn't day around $400k for the car.

 

There's a lot more to the R than that.

 

Though it does now appear that people are crapping on the FS ad as well, which is BS. The mods on here, if there are any, really need to do a better job of deleting comments in the classified section.

My offer of $225k still stands.

 

Care to share what I'm missing? I was ballparking an answer a question on a previous post.

 

Too bad Porsche doesn't offer this engine/transmission in a production car to bridge the gap between the GTS and GT3.

 

No there's not. It's been decided by lots of people who have never driven one...

 

Idk, 48 miles seems a bit excessive.

 

I definitely like the car, (pepita doesn't appeal to everyone) but the sotheby's auction result broke the 400k barrier for these cars a while ago.

I know of a private party transaction for a very well equipped car even below that level. The 911R is special enough that many of us would love to have one. But I have a feeling that what may seem like a great deal from a buyer's standpoint today may seem like buying high in 8-12 months from now.

But GLWS...as always, the market will determine the price. Who am I to speculate?

 

Canadian cars are exactly the same. They are all North American spec. Only guys who want to beat up on price get hung up on Canadian origins. Who cares. You can't read the tiny speedometer anyway. It's an efficient marketplace.

The sofas are actually quite comfortable and generally for a street car preferred. They don't look as dramatic, but it's true. Also, the 991 bucket is not as comfy as the older 997 gt2 bucket. The sofas also have lumbar and make the car much more approachable from entry and exit...some folks who are heavier, taller, older, injured or with wives who hate buckets like them.

If the price is too high the market will speak. Not sure why people get bent out of shape.

 

Agree on 18w seats - best mistake I ever made and mine came from Canada amazing that people see a flaw in a Canadian car. It was a simple process the R never understood the pricing but unless you are buying or selling one who cares real sellers and real buyers always make a deal.

 

Ho hoom

 

ThunderDome, indeed.

Beautiful car. GLWS. If I didn't have a .2 GT3 allocation, I would have been tempted to make an offer, although it wouldn't have a 4 handle. Hard to say where these cars hold value 2-5 years. Then again, few of us saw the 918 go double.
