This is an excellent deal, from a Porsche dealer is valuable. I got new tires (N-Spec PS2s), struts and a few little things addressed with my pre-owned purchase. I also negotiated a deal on a Major Service and some other work (PCCM+, etc.)

Spectacular spec and well prepared for the sale. Already off to a strong start, the 996 Turbo S's are starting to get attention.

Seller 911R sells great cars and presents them perfectly... This one will bring all the money. Any guesses??

2005 S, aero, GT3 wheels, perfect, collector miles, lots of options. etc...

i bet it will break $165K, maybe even $175K. Some collector is going to have to have it, and that kind of price tag is still cheap compared to most other collectable Porsche models.

I agree, there is lots of value here...

I don't expect it to exceed the high water mark below, I like your price range.

This sold for $229k last year, higher km and less desirable spec in my opinion (https://www.goodingco.com/lot/2005-p...T&pageNumber=2)

BaT consistently brings premium prices for certain models, but the truly ridiculous results still come from live auctions....

That Turbo S is a super nice spec. The Aerokit, manual, GT3 wheels - all very nice. For me, this is my unicorn - except Forest Green over Natural Brown Leather/Black Carpets.

I'm sure it'll go to the moon!

I don't dislike silver, but . . . it would be nice if it was a color other than silver. Just sayin'.

It's the preparation for adding nickel to aluminum (typically copper) that adds weight

Holy moly, this was bid to $227,500 and didn't meet reserve. Wow.

Just for comparison this somewhat similar spec 997.2 TTS with a bit more miles sold recently for $105,500.

That is one very clean car - why parting ways with it?
