996.2

"Aero" does this add weight and reduce speed? It busies the clean 996 design, I don't get it.

Thanks Ryan. I posted it on PCA and Facebook yesterday and the response has been phenomenal. Clearly you are correct in your comment bout price. I've got people ready to put money into my hand now, so I came in on the low side. Oh well. If it helps me sell with minimum hassle, then that's okay.

Throw it on BAT and might be able to add $10k to that depending on mileage. Don't see white aero's pop up too often, or white in general.

If BAT will accept the car. It's not an automatic. BAT has an overextended que, so they are picky.

And then there is the reserve number. My experience with BAT has them low balling the Reserve number to ensure a sale so they make money. So you can take a risk of not getting the price you want for the car.

i threw it on facebook and it sold almost immediately. It was crazy. Clearly i underpriced it.

Billup

Valid points I hadn't considered, and totally agree. It's a crap shoot, but seems to reach a larger audience than other platforms and even a low reserve seems easily outpaced these days. Granted that's across the board for sports cars in general.

Did you list it around $25k? I've seen prices for aero's range mid 20's to mid/high 30's depending on specs and mileage.

Wellardmac

I listed at $25k and had 5 people wanting to throw money at me. Hard to get a sense of where I should have priced it and clearly I could have gone higher, but I got a quick sale. My car is in exceptional condition with desirable upgrades, so i could probably have easily gone to $28k, but I don’t feel robbed, as i think I got a fair price and my car will go to a good home.

Not really my engine lid and spoiler is a lot less weight then the factory lid. Easily less then the skirts would add. The front bumper cant really be any heavier.

The advantage is at 130 mph the car sticks to the road much better. It adds low pressure zones not drag so it shouldnt make it slower.

Your opinion on the the looks, well u know what they stay about opinions .

Billup

You probably could have listed for low 30's IMO. But, end of the day as long as you feel it was fair, that's really what matters. Your buyer got a great deal, you're happy, best of both worlds. If only everything in the world were that easy?

Wellardmac

agreed.

Congratulations on the sale of your beautiful car Wayne. What's next?

Wellardmac

thanks. I have a 991 that arrived in town earlier this week. I’m out on travel, so i’ve not seen it yet. I’m going to see it tomorrow. If it checks out I’ll have another white on black 911 in the driveway. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Mfletch

That sounds exciting. Good luck. I hope it is everything you want it to be.

Wellardmac

I picked it up yesterday. A pretty cool driveway shot of my 3 german toys.

Mfletch

Wow! Your new 911 is gorgeous. I love the white with black accents. I see the M3 turned into another P-car...good for you. We have a similar German car theme going on at our house also. I would love to hear how the new 911 compares to the old. I hope you enjoy it and have many years of happy motoring ahead of you.
