Oh boy.....just got the DME report back on this car I'm finalizing

Poor car


A manual car and not a single rev over range 2! this car almost died from boredom.

Actually that's about what you'd want. Last I heard anything in zone 3 and it can't be certified.

My previous Boxster had NO overrevs in any zone. At all, ever. And I routinely autocrossed that car...

Anyway, congrats! I for one think it's a great buy. It's tough to go wrong on any of these cars, but a .1 GTS manual Cab is pretty damn special.

why upsetting?
would you not ask what some in the market are willing to pay?
I know I would.

It seems that no one is paying these asking prices though. I'm watching cars just sit because people are getting silly. But hey it's their right to ask what they want, and the willing buyers will come I guess 🤷

Looking at a nearly identical spec C2S with 27k miles but 2013. Msrp is $122. They're asking $71,500 and I want to get somewhere in the mid to upper 60s.

Not possible. 4K was spent. Revisionist history makes no sense whatsoever.

This has largely been my experience. Some of the ads I'm following the car has been on the lot for 90 days or more, and in two of those instances they have actually raised the price of the car in the last two weeks!

Yep I'm seeing that same thing. Raise the price then lower it back down. Not sure what they're trying to do there but a sucker is born everyday.

Yes - but as you know -- not actively...

Looking at KBB, I would say Brizz is getting a good/great deal - maybe worth $75K from a dealer. Especially considering the demand for 911S (991) cars. Baseball, I would say the 2013 is fair/good - would be nice if they reduced the price a few thousand. You can tell them a friend just picked up a newer one for that money
