Default Prices coming down?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-...item23253a0827

Anyone know details on this one? I've seen one sell for 92 and one for 93k. This is the lowest one to date that I've seen. Maybe this one has a history??

Reading the description, I don't think the dealer selling this car understands what he has.

True. I do see many dealers that do the same thing...even Porsche dealers misquoting hp, etc.

Typically when a car like the GT3 ends up on a second rate used car dealer lot it has some type of history. Unless there are truly a glut of them on the market and Porsche dealers aren't interested in them which I find hard to believe.

Have you taken a look at their inventory? No exactly high-quality stuff. I hardly think the asking price at this type of used car dealer is indicative of the market...

Not even a beater lot can/will make a mistake like this. Nor will the market typically allow too good a buy - in most cases. No such protection against paying too much. As mentioned earlier, there's likely a story behind this car.

Yeah, I have to agree with you guys...not an A+ dealer in appearance. I would suspect a story. As far as price is concerned, I'm speaking in general. Cars have drifted from the high 90's and low 100's (GT3) to low 90's. That's what I've seen that sold anyway. But, that is from private party as well. In fact, one dealer bought one from a private party, slapped 10K on it and put it up for sale again. Also, we'll see 991 GT3's on the ground next fall. When ordering starts we will see even more on the market. Right now, there are more 997.2 GT3's for sale than any other GT car. At least 6 or 8 just in black.

clearly the seller is an idiot. Would love to see a picture of what he looks like to confirm the obvious.

The description would have been better made by stevie wonder using copy and paste.

One would have to see this car in person before buying it. Full inspection.

Price is nice however.

I'm sure it has a strory. But November is typically when prices are at their lowest. Right before winter and next year. Good time to buy.
