Congrats GPappy! ice win. Crazy for that seller not to take it, but apparently the car is up for mid-60's on the dealer site? Nuts to whoever buys that. That's turbo money!

Thanks all,

I figured that this one checked all the boxes so that it would go higher. One more bid and I would have been out.

Nice not to be out of the basement.

I will look look into the options for the next one this evening.

That is .2 C4S with 18k miles money! Only a fool would pay anywhere close to that for a .1; $50k w/premium is a very strong bid! A base .2 C4 is as or more desirable than a .1 C4S and they aren't trading anywhere close to that. Prices of base model .2 are typically above a .1 S model at similar mileage. It is tough to find a 40,000 mile .2 base manual at 40 grand, but .1 C2S models at that mileage are a dime a dozen.

I was referring to the $60 + grand the dealer is asking now.

Yes, I know. $60k+ is ridiculous. $50k is very strong for a .1. Maybe the dealer doesn't know the difference between a .1 and .2 or that a .2 is much more attractive for a whole host of reasons.

I guess this is the one because it is very close to what I want. I would love a 997.2 with this color and general specs.

I am betting lower due to it not being a 4S and higher (although not high) miles I will start it off at $39,000

I only see two choices, neither a 997.2 though. A 2006 white cab and a 2008 white coupe. No way the cab gets to $39k

And yes, $39,000 should be the highest guess but other than the black wheels this one looks like a good one.
