Looks like Slate Grey wasn't enough to save this Tip car from a low $115k final bid. There are complaints from the seller in the comments about the low reserve enforced by BaT.
All while the similar mileage Arctic Silver Tip car from the previous week went for $158k, I would be mad too.
I would be as well! BaT is incentivized to sell the car and enforce as low a reserve as possible, especially above $100K where they're already at their fee limit. Reserve should have been $120K+, but I was also pretty sure this car was going to go for $140K+. What do I know..

Agreed... I would have walked away if that was their proposed limit, not worth it, as demonstrated with this auction. The seller also purchased this car back in May of this year... can only wonder if he was even able to break even.

I guess that color sits in the middle and goes both ways. I personally think it's cool, but I also dislike Vesuvio while the majority of people seem to salivate over it... guess it's all subjective. One thing that is more objective is the fact that it had a grey interior, which for sure is less desirable.
11k miles is low but I feel like 6 years ago prices were more like $120k for the absolute BEST examples…
I was getting offers of 125K to 150K. I wasn't in the market to sell. The eventual buyer went back and forth with me with offers. I told him for me to be willing to sell, it would take 200K, I thought that would shut him up. Two weeks later on Christmas Eve he said he's a buyer. It was my time to let it go.

White exterior with black interior. Hardback sport seats with Porsche crests, 18'' hollow spoke wheels. Basically a low optioned car. It was a no stories car, no accidents, all original paint. Buyer is very wealthy, and was looking to add to his collection.
(For the record, that's not a Pcar, it's my '01 Phoenix Yellow M Roadster...for some reason I like to drive that car barefoot in the summer...you know, take the Birkenstocks off, tunes blasting, wind blowing through my combover...you get the idea).

Tonys C2S was immaculate. Nicest example I have ever seen in person! Perfect spec. Miss looking at it at Cars and Coffee.
