Two bidders seem to be going at it. CAVU and I are out, should be an interesting finish.

or.....jump back in for a few minutes and run it up to $47K, then jump back out. One of those guys will throw the final $500 down, and they (and me) will be all set

Congrats Snakesm13!

Seeing how this had sold recently on Pcarmarket for $40k, I'm surprised BaT agreed to a reserve much higher than that, but what do I know?

Damn, missed by a click again, thought for sure this was going to be the first one. . . Well done snakesm13! Congrats!

This seller is easily into this car for $45k+, so imagine he was hoping this thing went for closer to $50k, which isn't a terrible price given the totality of the car. . . Not sure what weighed this one down most, red interior? miles? fact that it was just bought at another auction 2 mom ago and some may have looked at it as a flip (it's not, dude put some money into this and did a lot of right things)?

Kind of wish he got what he deserved on this one, he clearly cared to "do the right thing" to this car. . .

Very very odd that such a unique 997S Cab manual sells on Pcar and then gets listed on BAT with just a few months between the two listings.

Seems to me the car should be worth more than what was paid on Pcar and more than the bid on BAT too. Maybe the BAT bidders dont want the car turned on their backs?

I am looking for a 997 S cab for my wife and I would have paid a bit more than the high bid for the car.

The end of the auction showed $42,000 for the longest time I wasn’t sure why I was getting the congratulations. Turns out I got it on the nose! Thanks guys!

Hands are kinda tied on selection because I don’t want to keep people waiting. So here’s another unique color and interior build that I’m going to guess $59,750 on.

The 2009 green car is a launch car, they made hoards of them in that colot combo. Every single dealer got at least one. Many got two or three. Nice car, nice color. Good miles on this one but he's been trying to sell it for something like 6 months IIRC it was first listed over $70k.

Always loved the green launch model but not offered in a manual. However I would not mind owning this one.
