Thats a question for RM Sotheby's. All the auction cars go for big bucks because a portion can be written off.

I may be wrong but i've seen this in countless auctions. Ask your local billionaire.

I’m going higher. My guess is $455k. There are few groups more intense than Porsche and Disney/Pixar nerds.

 

1 of 1 from the factory.

I won’t be surprised if this car gets you better return for your money than a lot of bubble wrapped GT cars in 10-20 years.

 

Sally will be spendy, but I love it and admire Porsche for creating a one-off car based on an iconic cartoon character. Crazy? Sure. But a good kind of crazy and all the proceeds go to charity.

 

1 of 1. Wouldn’t be surprised if it went for 7 figures.

 

^This. If you pay X for something at a charity auction and you can establish that X exceeds the market value, Y, of that item, you get a deduction for the excess of X over Y as you are deemed to be getting Y in value so Y is not a donation, only the excess of X over Y.

 

I just watched the Sally Special hammer for $3.6 Million USD

Good Grief.

 

So I was a little off?

 

Only by a misplaced decimal point. -OR- Think of it as a logarithmic function, if that’d make you feel better.

 

 

I got a feeling that car is going to depreciate like crazy when the Sally Special is long forgotten. "Why would someone do that to a nice GTS" might be the feeling.

 

I feel much better. Thanks.

 

it probably will be parked in a collectors garage for its entire life. But nice sum for charity!!

 

Given it was a charity auction, I don’t think the winning bidder cares about depreciation.
