Cabriolets just doesn't command premium dollars and that's reality.

Yeah. Doesn't mean they're not enjoyable to own though. Great deal for someone.

I just bought a cab, I'll happily take the discount. Although for the 997.2S I wasn't seeing all that much differential between the coupe and cab

Do I get any kind of prize if I guess floatingfish is going to win? In retrospect, I do not see this doing any better than $97K.

The 2008 Cab is up to $32k. Nice daily driver, love the color. 2-days to go.

I never heard the word "gorgeous" used when describing a 968.

To me, since I would not track 911, having a cab over coupe as a second vehicle makes much more sense. In fact, I'd pay premium for the right cab.

The seller is killing the value of his GT3. You put a car up on BaT you need to put on your salesman hat. This guy doesn't appear to have one.

who wins if it stays where it is?

edit never mind. However if it had stayed at 92, we would have had a tie. Does the under win or the over?

I'd say Yes. Tie goes to closest without going over.

I thought we agreed there was no under or over, just whoever was closest.
