My 2001 Turbo has been accepted by BAT. They are stating 2-3 weeks for posting. Lets see how it does. If it does sell I will miss the car. There isn't much I can replace it with thats a fun manual transmission under $200K.

I checked the price of 991.2 GT3 in manual and they are 190-200k for a decent one. Absolute insanity they are still selling for $40k over MSRP. I couldn't get a new GT3 at MSRP or even close either. Too many people buying and flipping. I have a strange feeling some of these dealers are partnering with their close customers and some back end deals are happening,

Good time to sell means bad time to buy unless you're getting a hot new car at sticker price. Maybe hop on a list for a Lotus Emira? Cayman GTS 4.0 or GT4? Used Carrera T?

I just wholesaled a 2011 GT3RS last week to a dealer for $225k.

Does BAT write the add based on information you give them?

Yes, they work with you in order to optimize the listing. I had quite a pleasant experience selling the targa with them.

They have rejected my F450 (for sale if anyone is interested...), but they want to see my Excursion - I had a pretty decent discussion with them about 'why' the F450 didn't jive with them, and there feelings were that there were not enough potential buyers to make the auction worth it. They also mentioned they get bombarded with submissions, and have to draw the line somewhere...

Default Another TTS cab

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...11-turbo-s-59/

I’ve never owned a cab but would like to one day. Something would have to go. But I really like the color combination.
