What is with the front bumper? That doesn't look like a normal GT3 bumper! Something is off with that car.

First ever 4 GTS I ever saw without the red reflector stripe between the tail lights. Guess it disappears with the aerokit.

Something is up with that car. $35k for an 08 997 4S with 32k miles is insanity. Plus an instant $25k drop in price??? My guess is it has a rebuilt title or some other serious issue.

Agreed. $14k, even for a high mileage base 911, is a serious red flag.

I like the look, personally.

EDIT: a google of the vin turns up the posting of the car the last time it sold pre-mods

Agree, something is not right. Plus it looks a little monster-truck-ish. Not my cup of tea.

Correct. Aerokit AWD 997s don't get the reflector.

The 997.1 X51 loaded C2S with 41k miles went for $50k on BAT, not including buyer's premium.

Somewhat surprising, considering that is basically 40,000 mile 997.2 C2S territory. With that said, it was a sweet build, and the X51, although probably not as powerful as the DFI 3.8L, is pretty rare!

Surprising that it went that high or low? I was watching it to. may have been a buyer in the mid to high $40's + fee. The MSRP on that car was 128K. Considering the X51, PCCB and full leather options seems like a pretty fair price, but I'm a complete rookie so not sure........

I thought maybe a bit high, considering the X51 probably only carries forward $5k in value, and that is 997.2 C2S territory w/buyer premium. I was thinking $50k all in was about what it would fetch. It was a nice car though! It seems there is a general hit of $10-15k from 997.1 to 997.2 generations, with a premium example such as X51 and every single option available closing the gap, but still likely worth less. Let me put it this way: I would rather get a stock 997.2 C2S with those options and mileage from a private party at $55-56k rather than a 997.1 C2S X51 for $52,500. Newer engine, better tech, updated PASM.

I noticed stuff on Bring a Trailer brings crazy prices sometimes, more so than anything on Cars.com or Autotrader.

I think you are correct FWIW. X51 should and does command decent premiums.
