RIP $250 rule? It didn't even survive one auction. Maybe we should say $100 spread, round bids of xx,x00 required ? The 997 bids are historically fun but kinda make the spread game messy.

Be nice to try to keep it friendly without bidding so close we **** each other off.

$29,500 - nzskater
$29,997 - roadie13
$30,185 - byroncheung

 

So far the spreads look decent still. Maybe not the even $250 stuff, but far enough apart.

But some folks have thrown out some strange endings lately...I do it at times too though.

 

Just took another glance at the car. It would look 10x better if it were lowered a bit. That wheel gap is killing me.

 

Yeah all non S models have the high stance, Eibach springs is a must for this car.

 

Going with $31k on this one.

I like the wheels even though they aren't "correct". This looks like a $30k car to me so I'm squeezing in at $29,750.

OK, I've taken a few rounds off to regroup and rethink my strategy. I'm back and I'm certain 2020 will be a big year!

Anyway...there's a hell of a range on this one. I'll jump in at $31,650.

Too bad the Club Coupe coming up at the end of the week will be too tight. Maybe an "exhibition" round is in order?

 

12 mins. left to guess...lol

 

Anyone else notice that this car has wire mesh protecting the center radiator that's not there but has none protecting the side radiators/condensers?

 

Do they make an aftermarket mesh for the side vents on the 997.1?

 

I'll be damned if I don"t get that Over Rev Report
