What does "grey market" mean here? I suspect it means grey color (original color was seal gray). This is a US spec car.

I believe this was actually owned by Kermit the Frog, hence the color change, so some provenance adds to the value.

I think stating msrp once can provide some context (especially if there are many desirable options), but its repeated over and over and also switches between base and options (which in this case are only floor mats and a cd stereo)

I looked at the C & B auction, It states, X50 Engine Performance Package and Full leather. The car has neither. Odd

"Grey Market" = a car that was not built to US spec that was imported into the US.

Yes it does have X50, missed that....

I'm waiting for the next episode to hear the laundry list of mechanical issues. Not sure what he actually paid for it but if I had bought it I would probably turn it into a 996TT Safari.

He's too cheap to even fix the mechanical issues properly, I highly doubt he is going to dump 18k in parts alone into converting it to a safari build

A TT is a $35,000 proposition
