Cool stats. Had no idea there are more GT3RSs than Turbo S coupes.

There are actually more GT's than Turbo manual coupes.

Hundreds more

A battle raging over this one.

Done @ $46,996

Was just running here to post this result. This is a very nice example, but not an early 1999 throttle cable car, and got a huge number relative to what we've been seeing without anything super premium option-wise (aerokit, 408 wheels, X51, etc.). This is an excellent data point for everyone that already has a 996, and a terrible one for those out in the market trying to get a good example for yesterday's price.

I'm honestly blown away. This would have been unthinkable even a year ago.

BAT is so weird.. similar models sold for mid 30 just last week???

Fishah

Yeah this one is odd.

Dr_Strangelove

Any theories why the Y2K's are hot? "Next year up from '99?" Logic?

bdronsick

Last week was last year

Next week is next year

996 is on fire

Some decently well off dude just really like a silver 996.. Nothing weird about it

Agree. I do notice that some of the bidders are bidding on multiple auctions over multiple or same day(s); I think there is an emotional element here. They don't win on a few and the fever builds and builds. That mixed with the fact that you have classic car dealers and collectors on there and its a recipe for strong numbers.

Possible start of the next leg up with the last 2 sales.

That is the first BaT sale where something seems really, really odd. However, the buyer had been bidding on every 996 so I guess its possible someone recognized his itchy trigger finger and bid him up for the seller. But no reason to assume its illegitimate.

Big day for Fried Eggs everywhere.
