This is when you should buy the seller

 

Agreed, basically someone bought a car that was nice, then did everything to make it perfect and ready to drive.

 

good attitude - you're the buyer, you shouldn't be expected to be the seller / offer a listing price too

 

^^^^Have had so many reached out and more than a hand full throw some crazy high numbers around thinking i'm going to put my nike's shoes on and run to their place and buy....

 

130-200 is what it'll take, miles and maintenance rule the day. Enjoy. Best car I have ever owned, wish I had time to use it

 

I was kinda laughing when that dude called you out for offering 155. I knew the second he said his car was Zone X super class councours who gaf lol....he was the one in the clouds It didn’t matter what you offered. Then he wanted someone to tell him how crazy low that offer is. Funny enough it’s probably not far off lol

 

I wanted to say the same exact thing but I played nice. Calling someone out publicly for an offer on a forum is in bad taste amongst car guys...

 

^^^ He wanted 185-190 W/17k miles.... Ha!

 

Kinda par for course with WTB posts, people think it’s an opportunity to offer something that’s ‘not on the market’ for a premium.

 

^^^^^ His $185-190 may happen at disney land.

 

2000mile gray/black RS, 176msrp full clear bra and paint correction yours for $215k firm.


 

9,000 Mile PTS Guards Red RS 1 of 5 in North America full clear bra 171K MSRP yours for $XXX firm

 

Holy smoke. I better reach out to 185-190 FIRM seller now

 

We all think our cars are worth more than the market! That said, it's still a good time to be buying as things have calmed down. If you were looking 5 years ago 7.2RS's were 250-350K. No question they are however the next strong value holder in the Porsche line up IMO. You have a nice window now to shop. There are some sweethearts out there for sure. I'd go looking for a Aqua Blue 7.2 RS with white gold accents..

 

I'd like to give a heads up to anyone that is considering selling a car to '2008whitegt3'. He reached out about my car that I mentioned in this thread. I give him price, history, pictures, etc.. He then offers me $140k. I tell him no thanks. He then emails me back and offers $150k. I tell him the lowest I can go is $155k. He agrees and we have mutual acceptance with the understanding he will pay for a PPI in the coming days. Of course this was after I spent considerable time providing him all the pictures and service history he requested. I'm not here to argue values of cars, but simply to say we had mutual acceptance with given terms of the PPI. I asked if he was a cash buyer and told him that I held a free and clear title. His response was he was 'mostly cash and very little loan'. The next day or so I ask if he'd scheduled a PPI and his response was no and that the car had to be in the state of California in order for his Credit Union to finance it. I suggested he go through a conventional bank and his answer was their rates are too high. He then asks If I would drive the car to California so he could get the loan. I suggest he go through a normal bank for financing to get around this 'car must be in California stipulation'. He then asks me to call my Porsche dealer and ask if they will buy the car from me and then resell it to him and finance the purchase (for no fee of course). I suggest he call Cats Exotics, a smaller independent exotic car dealer and ask if they will do this. He calls and they say yes but will charge 3-5% for this service and he want to know if I will pay for this? My answer is of course no. I then tell him that I am in the process of buying a car and the dealer I am buying from will run the GT3 RS through his dealership as a trade in and sell it to you and provide financing at the same time, AND the car doesn't need to be in California, all the paper work can be done by the dealer I'm buying my car from. He calls them and says their rates are too high and he doesn't want to do that. Keep in mind the buyer actually works in the finance department of an auto dealership, and he's looking to me for financing?? That should've been the second or third red flag. So a week goes by with no effort to schedule a PPI and I ask him where he's at? He texts me back a bank approval letter that says he's been approved for a loan for $139k. I ask him if he's planning on paying an addition $16k cash and his response is 'Decided to go 100% financing. Is up to u at this point'. The point of my post has nothing to do with the value of my car. The point is to let potential sellers know what they are getting into. My car by the way is a 2010 GT3 RS, clean history, zero paint work, unmolested, clean car fax, original msrp of $169k, no mods except for half cage in rear for looks, no track duty, handful of range 1 and 2 over revs only, extensive carbon fiber optioned through the car, and comes with original window sticker and all records.

Twice now in his own thread he has said he has 'no budget'. Sellers should be well aware there is definitely a budget..
