Hard to believe this went for $70k cheaper last month:

Twice the mileage sure but we are talking 18k vs 9k, still absolute babies.

That was an anomaly and absolute steal.

Just a few thousand more miles for $160k. Maybe it was the all 0 DME 🤷‍♂️

This. But, that’s why winning this game is so difficult.

Thank you everyone. I was quite surprised myself but then it is a pretty 'uncommon' car, to say the least.
I did use the 2k-mile GT3 RS as a comparison myself, but I did notice that one sold just as the pandemic was unfolding with a lot of uncertainty. So, I figured it must be at least as much. On top of it, this one had ceramic brakes making it more valuable.

Anyway, I would have loved to use the paint-to-sample GTS Coupe as the next auction. However that car has only three days to go and we already have issues with late bidding.
So, I suggest the gen II 997 Turbo with 6-speed manual transmission. I will need research this one before I put a bid:
