Default No reserve auction good deal. really?

Can this be for real?

No reserve?

I wonder what the final price will be.

And one of them is the fact that this was/is a Doctor owned car...and he recently got deported. He must need a quick sale.

Does it have to say "no reserve" for it to be NR?

If it has reserve, then the price will say either reserve met or reserve not met.

Since it doesn't say anything about reserve, it means this is no reserve auction.

Still almost a day left so I suppose the price will go up more, but I still think this would be a bargain if it can be had under $70K.

It should be priced near $75K IMHO

why would you value this car at $75k it does not have any extras (better wheels etc) we don't even know what is wrong with it (ppi?) it could have even have accident repair and repaint.
if all checks out I would think 100k- mileage =65k
any records etc?
sorry if I am missing something I have not ever bought a car from ebay.

Just based on mileage alone I would say closer to $70K than $75K (the market is a little soft right now, good for buyers bad for sellers). A PPI is a must. Steinel's in Twinsburg, Ohio would be an excellent choice to do a PPI since the car in located in Cleveland, Ohio (at least according to the listing). Talk to Andy Smee. A top notch organization (long time customer, no affiliation).

yeah, when I said 75K, I was assuming that the car checks out clean.

Is it easy to find black 993tt with 35K miles for under $70-75K??

The no reserve thing is a joke because the listing can be cancelled at the last minute if the seller doesn't get his price.

Very true, but they are assembled by the most junior Porsche techs.

I think you're unable to cancel when auction gets to last 12 hours left.
