Good turn out for a pretty interesting car.
I am probably low, but like Goovzilla I was thrown off a little by the salt corrosion under the car. That comes from owning boats...

 

I only found one comparable, a 4k mile example that sold for $65k. This one has more miles but is still historically low and should finish strong.

Looks like I missed the cutoff on this round. Tough call, especially with the $3600 service estimate to get it up to date. If I was eligible I'd put it around $45k.

Did anyone see that 17k-mi 2008 C4S that went RNM at $50,500? Crazy. Third highest final bid on a 997.1 C2S/C4S in the history of BAT.

 

I agree with this! This car looks shiny from the outside but not from underneath. Also, the engine bay is pretty rough and those were some hard miles to crack the
coils. This will keep last minute enthusiasm at bay, I think.

 

Now that you guys mentioned it I took a closer look at the engine and not only is it dusty but I see black oily seepage by the plenum. Also underneath too much corrosion, I personally would pass on this car even though the body and interior looks good. Let's hope it sells for $40,500

 

Vincent you’re so selfish

 

You guys probably saw this 2012 Guards Red GTS (PDK) on BAT, but in case you haven't:

Looks solid.

 

$42,500 w/3 hours to go - Damn I got burnt on this auction! Good luck to the rest of you!

 

BTW, nice play Wolfsburgde.... Squeezed in between the top two...lol


We'll see if it works. I've had to do that before..lol

 

Nothing to see here, auction is practically over at $42,250...

 

roadie13 is looking like a Brain Surgeon with 45 minutes to go

 

OK Stop Now!!!
