Default 20 GT3 PCNA Buybacks for auction

FYI!

Looks like PCNA is selling 20 GT3s all engine buybacks on manheim going off today.

Im not sure how often this happens or if its just a one off.

Miles range from 20s to 2k max.

Specs are all over the place.

It is interesting to note the seller has had a condition report (CR) done on these cars, which is almost always done to encourage internet buyers, and none of the cars came in with a perfect score - 5.0. I have to wonder if the auction deducted some points for the replacement engine, or if the cars actually have some small cosmetic picks.

There are some 5.0s and all say:

DMV$20, MANUFACTURER'S BUYBACK/LEMON LAW (AC) AS IS/NO ARB VEHICLE REPURCHASED FOR EXCESSIVE TIME DOWN WHILE WAITING FOR ENGINE TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALL-REPLACED ENGINE

Often times, car companies just blanket run condition reports. In this case its PCNA.

There are a total of 9 GT3s on cars.com under preowned for both 2014/2015.

This more than doubles the supply of preowned GT3s for the entire country.

They have small issues - "light scratch" etc. It's almost impossible to get a 5.0 at Manheim. even the tiniest of scratches will "ding" you.

Geez, hard to keep track of this auction on three threads now.

Happened to be at the dealer this afternoon and had the privilege of watching the auction live! Most cars went for MSRP or more.

>Invoice, fine.. But >MSRP? That's absurd.

Some dealers sure have high hopes.

I watched because one of them was returned by me. Replaced it with a 911/50.
