I'm all for a spirited argument and some ribbing, but how about taking the weekend off from the internet thumb wrestling?

Besides, this closes today, which will heavily inform what I've listed my 1999 aerokit for:

are you listing on BAT? I've never seen a market correlation between selling prices on BAT and other platforms

I do believe that BAT drives the market, but cars sold there absolutely sell for a premium

I had a garbage experience last year listing on CarsAndBids, and I refuse to let someone else near any sales like that in the future. So, no BaT. BaT became such a dump around the time of the acquisition that I requested my account be deleted.

BaT does get a premium, but I'm also not itching to sell, so I can be patient.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...1-carrera-222/ - $48,277

Sure, my car has higher miles, but arguably has a better vintage (3/98! Ambers! 4-spoke 993 wheel!) and better options (408 turbo twists, LSD, all leather!), and I've just dropped my ask to $45k. And - get this - one can inspect my car and have a reasonable conversation about it before committing to a purchase:

Man, yours is the first non-black 996 interior I’ve seen that I can imagine living with. I really like it. Moreover, what a beautiful early 996. You may live to regret letting it go one day.

Thanks for the kind words.

I have no doubt I'll regret it! Hoping for a GT3 (996 or 997) at some point in the future. For now, it's likely going to be converted into a swimming pool and backyard redo.

There are 12 996s live on Bring A Trailer right now.
12

Is that a good or bad sign?

That doesn’t seem that high of a price given the mileage. Someone could hold that car for 5-10 years and probably sell it for $100k or more.

a 99 with only 7k miles should be penalized, not rewarded. I buy them to drive not to look at. I would be scared to drive a car that has sat so long unused. What a shame.

I bought my corvette with 7k miles (also a '99!) and beat the ever loving bejesus out of it with never a hiccup.

but then again the internals of the small block weren't trying their absolute hardest to escape the engine block every chance they got
