Recovering the interior in another color is about a $10K job. Negotiate that. I bet the interior color is why this car has sat for so long. I have been looking at it for over a year between ebay and other sites.
Didn't realize BaT had "ask prices". Did you mean $115K was the reserve?
What I should have said was my original ask price was $115k on RL. I lowered my ask to $100k after it sat for a while. Also, the $28k increase isn’t quite accurate. After completing the PPI I spent a great deal of money making the car the best it could be. These costs included 12k in mechanicals and PPI as well as 6k in beautification. So my overall out for the car was exactly $112k which is what it sold for. That being said, after I paid the dealer to sell it for me, the car was a loss for me, however I did recoupe a great deal of my money and I’m ok with that. I know the new owner will be very happy with the car.
Now that's pretty aggressive! I was happy for the buyer and seller. The buyer was bidding on all kinds of other cars before he got this one. What's odd is the other bidder Alfaromeo, who seems to be a dealer bid up to 110k. Not sure what to make of that.
Wow! Very nice car but with 55k miles someone overpaid by $25-30k in my opinion.

That particular car is one of very few that Porsche made. The color, option kit, and overall quality, plus all the work I put in I think was fair. The new owner has a turn key car. When I bought the car, it was strong 7 out of 10 and my goal was to make it a 9. I think I accomplished that. That car will continue to be iconic for many reasons and value is a “perception”, so in my eyes it was fair, but in others it may be ridiculous, but that’s what makes this such an interesting hobby. Beauty will always be in the eye of the beholder!
