I was the high bidder on the Guards Red X50 on BAT at $96 K, no sale. Seller is very reputable, circled back; said consigned .. Owner wants 130 K.

I guess that some folks buy a 911 as a toy, get bored, and sell it or trade it for their next toy. Could be personal/financial reasons. Me - I’ve had my Carrera T since new in April 2018 and have done 34,700 miles in it = trying to re-address the balance

Bored with a 911 ?? SCOFFS! 😁
Kidding aside, that’s 3500 miles to each owner. Just interesting to me. That’s all.

I can only speak for myself, but i own quite a few cars so 1k miles a year for a car I do not use as my primary driver(a pickup truck) is about right. High end sports cars it's not unusual for folks to get something new every two or three years. That said, you should always have a car inspected and put eyes on it be it yours or someone else you hire. fwiw i thought Porsche dealers at one point were offering two year leases. I only buy, but i did look at a Gts at one point which had been under a 24 month lease with Porsche.

You can do better with a newer Porsche for $130, in my opinion.

yeah, I mean it’s a really nice spec But I agree on the above. it would honestly be really tough to see someone pay more than $100k for it even during these crazy times. But stranger things have happened, and well if you want it you want it, it is a nice ride!

You could get a 2014/15 GT3 for $130K! Sorry, but not much of a choice there for me.

Here is another that is straining credulity regarding price... Lime Gold 2012 CS. That's always a controversial color of course, though (personal preference) I think it looks great in these photos.
Only 13k miles, and $53k in options, but asking $125k.

I'm kind of nauseous now, thanks.

That's just too much, sorry. Too much money for too many colors. That's .1 Turbo money. Just silly.

I hope I never see that color 911 on the road. Just because Porsche offers it, or you can get it by PTS, doesn't mean you should. Price is crazy for a production car and is 9 years old.
