Very good buy IMHO. Congrats gpappy. I hope the new owner drives it but I’m sensing a flip.

Thanks all, I was wondering if I was ever going to win again with these crazy prices. I do like red but something about this car made me think it might go lower. In today's market, that is a pretty good buy for someone.

I am helping my sister with her garden so will look tonight for our next auction.

Currently only 2 live. Both ending in 4 days, leaving 48 hours left to guess or wait until something else comes along.

A 30k-Mile 2012 Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet PDK and a 54k-Mile 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 6-Speed. Haven't been as many 997s on lately.

Congrats GPappy. The price was actually pretty consistent with what other GTS 997s have been selling for but I just thought it would go higher due to the low miles, the car's good looks, and the tremendous price inflation we've been seeing. But it ended up selling consistent with other GTS 997s in the past few months. Looking forward to your pick GPappy!

I am actually surprised it got sold for only $84K. I could have sworn it will be close to 100k at this mileage.

Why do you think it went for 84K instead? Am I missing something?

Who knows? There is definitely some randomness to these auctions. There was another bidder who was bidding while on a Zoom call and said he missed the bid.

You could also equally rationally posit:
- low miles don’t mean as much for a PDK than for a 6MT given lower supply of 6MT
- the market might be softening a bit

I’ve seen a few auction wind up a bit lower than I expected, but couldn’t really call it a trend. . .
