Default Collector car TTS.
195 miles on this one. Not priced for a reason I’m sure.

996 Turbos single best attribute is how great of a drivers car they are... There are many other cars I'd rather have to just keep on display, never drive, and only look at.

I think it's good to have a handful or so of unicorn 996 Turbos out there.

195 miles is too low. That car risks become a permanent piece of sculpture rather than an automobile.

Didn't look very nice to me aside from being low miles. But probably will sell for some silly amount regardless. This was posted today. Another modified Tiptronic with buckets. I don't get it. That blue Ruf Cab did very well and was also a Tip.

These cars are becoming desirable/collectable. That is it. It happens to all 911s at some point and many folks wanted the Tip trans when bought new and there are still folks who want a Tip now.

2001 model Lapis Blue over Metropol Blue - nice color combo. 6,000 miles. Not particularly well optioned, though. Already at $66,666 with 5 days to go on the auction.

I agree, I really love the dark blues. Not a fan of draped leather in our cars, but this color combo really works for me!

Wowzer...

GT2 R. I think that ranks well above '996 Turbo Prestige'.

Not quite a daily driver though!

Default Another GT2
What price range should this one sell for? I haven’t followed the market for GT2 cars.

Black on black has proven to be very desirable. I would be surprised if it hits $140k.
