Seems like a lot for a car with over 100k miles.

5 hours left and we are already at $32.5. Looks like GPappy will end up with the prize this time. What this tells me is:
(1) Bidders on BAT are not that concerned about high mileage 997s if they are in overall good condition, and
(2) make sure GPappy bids before me!

Not upping my win number quite yet. This may be all she wrote with that many miles. This may be one of those times where the bid goes high early and no one shows up for the last minute fun.

I like the build and the colors and I was hoping others would too. By the time I got around to guessing the number I thought it might go for was taken so I went a little higher.

Sorry about that tinroof but you may still take the win. This is the first time I have been on either extreme I think. That is what happens when you wait to long to bid and most of the good numbers are taken.

Thank you tinroof. I really thought low 30's and was going to bid $32k but it blew by my budget. I love white 997's and will have one someday. Until then I will have to be content with my 996.

Yes, good news for our car values, if not for our picking accuracy...
