Reserves still not met. Interesting to see how far it goes until reserves met.

that's a gt3RS.
interesting that it's being sold by a dealer but has already been titled.
auction has 6 days left . . .
don't see where you are drawing your conclusion from?
even if the auction ended like this it wouldnt necessarily mean the car didnt already sell for a premium at the dealership.

Yes the auction has 6 days left That means nothing unless it sells for 130K which I doubt.

Ditto. eBay is an unreliable thermometer at best and there's no measure in incomplete auctions or those which end without a transaction.

Never judge an auction until it's over.

It's at $147K right now. They must all be wanting that rare navigation option!

Yep...NAV in all its glory. Here's a pic from the ebay link:



This way the new owner can take the car for its monthly run to Starbucks and not get lost. Maybe even go to that new sushi joint that opened up on the beach.

Two things rub me the wrong way on that car. One is the Navigation - I wouldn't want that in an RS. The last time I was at Lime Rock there was an RS there and as I came over they were laughing and I wondered why - they said look at that and pointed... Navigation and a mug of coffee in the cup holder. The other is full-leather... Not a good thing if you track the car - windows open at speed with it raining outside...

I love all the non-RS owners "laughing" about all these things....I think this is a better joke

The real funny part is the guys laughing owned incredible cars like RUF, 996 Cup Car, etc. for the track, had incredible trailers / tow vehicles, were supported by companies like FBL, etc. Each is truly wealthy and could by any car on the planet. These are the guys that are semi-retired that spend 30+ days floating around DEs and club races. I think the point in the "joke" was that the RS of all cars was to be the pinnacle of track-ready oem Porsche - an answer to the Ferrari CS. And to see all sorts of heated power seats, navigation, full leather, deviated stitching and colored belts, "look at me" colors and graphics, and the cherry on top - a coffee mug in the cup holder - was just too much for them to bear.
