Like I said, in this case the seller only has himself to blame.

But in the more general case, your stock market analogy doesn't quite work, in my opinion. Buying an undervalued asset bears the risk that the asset will puke instead of appreciating (that risk is nonexistent with most porsches at this price level). Then the appreciation of the asset would likely manifest itself over a fairly long period of time, or would require activism on the investor's side, or both. But more than anything else, if it's a publicly listed stock, anyone can buy. If I decide not to buy ticket XYZ or WTF and you do and it turns out a great investment, good for you.

Car flipping is more like ultra-low latency "trading" (in fact, scalping), which I have nothing against, because they make a penny on $1000, so who cares. Thing is though with cars they siphon off a quarter or a third or more of the value of my purchase, just because they have a bunch of bozos refreshing all car websites all day every day, so **** those ****ing leeches.

And there's another element where enthusiasts who are passionate about their community of other enthusiasts, would just like to see the car go to another enthusiast within the community. To many of these folks, that desire outweighs leaving a few $k on the table.

I believe the seller of my car only posted it on 6so and here, because he wanted to see it go to an enthusiast. He probably could have gotten more $ if that were his only motivation.

While I might personally argue that listing your car at a nice high price ensures that the true enthusiast who wants it the most will get it -- I think there is another element at play with enthusiasts, sometimes.

I do not think it is like scalping because tickets are a set price and sold at that price to all first purchasers.

There is no set price for used Porsches. What if this car the dealer bought blew an engine the day after he bought it? There is risk to used car pricing evaluation and flipping cars. A lot like day trading momentum stocks. Like Tesla.

That would be a great car to post up in The Craigslist Thread.

Bold color scheme on this one

very bold but most of that can be corrected. 996 Turbo S Coupes are rare in the states not sure on build numbers for UK. The only thing that seems off to me is the seat wear is excessive for the mileage.

Here's a low mileage 2003 X50 for $59995.

No kidding, that natural gray is close enough to black to make this car a perfect combo. It's stunning!

He's pretty non-committal to selling it, I think it's going to take an offer.


The picture actually lightens it some. If I saw it in person without seeing the build sheet, I would assume it's black.
