The orginal pre-auction dealer ad was in Florida, this new dealer ad is in Virginia.

@bdronsick Guards Red over Natural Leather is a bad combo?

bdronsick

I didn't say it was "bad", I said this color combo is more of a personal collector, and not an excellent candidate for a quick-flip by dealer (like a unicorn color would be)

Ah, okay this dealer hopped. I thought the new owner surfaced online. I follow so many of these things I cannot keep up! :-)

Starting to pull all this data. I'm interested in seeing BaT vs Cars.com, vs Autotrader, vs...the rest from a listing perspective etc. According to bat...295 996 TT auctions with only 58 "not selling".

bdronsick

Those "not selling" are "RNM" reserve not met; which is becoming increasingly rare these days as BaT pretty much insists on a virtually black book reserve price now, in order to crank volume

That said, prices on desirable color/option Mezgers are going through the roof anyway

The money still flowing, even for Tips.

$80K+ for a Tip is freaking astonishing

Gray interior too, with wood!!

Shocking

Carlo_Carrera

It's the PTS yellow that did it. The collector market is gaga for 996s in yellow and PTS yellow is nirvana.

I get Paint To Sample but I don't get Pastel on 996

On 993, sure!

Carlo_Carrera

In time you will get it. A move to Florida will quicken the realization.

I dig pastel yellow, gotta have a black interior though. A friend had an opportunity to buy a pristine pastel yellow 993 about two years ago for under $80k. He passed on it and now he's kicking himself over it.

Carlo_Carrera

Think Florida, black interiors are a no-no.

Nor carbon.

bdronsick

That interior is full of wood, which is even worse in UV

bdronsick

Pastel is highly prized on 993

Almost non existent on 996, although there is this inexplicable aberration...
