asking: stupid money. actual sales: those that know won't say and those that don't know can't say.

but, if it's being offered anywhere near new 991 Cup money I'd jump on it.

I just got offered 275K for my black one with little under 11k miles, which I reluctantly came close to accepting but my 12 year old daughter put her foot down and asked me not to sell it.

I wouldn't take anything less than $300k for your car.

I think that secret collector probably knows the porsche market a lot better than most all of those so his selling his unicorn might be sign that we are near the top of the market. I guess we'll see. I'm happy with my "affordable" PTS unicorn.

Smart girl, I guess she wants you to keep it for at least 4 more years.

275-400. wide range.
depending on each car.
my is a $500k "centaur".
unicorns are too common.
should anyone be interested, the centaur can be delivered to your door in the continental 48 states at $500K

I am absolutely 100% sure that a zero option lightweight 4.0 will set resale records in the not to far distant future.

The only cars that MAY out perform no option cars are PTS super low mileage cars.

You have a smart daughter for sure.
The black ones are keepers and worth more IMHO!

Not even the moderate mile PTS 3.8s with a little track time on them?

My daughter is saying the same thing, I guess she knows that it's going to be hers one day. LOL My 4.0 is specced the same way, steel brakes and radio delete. Might actually be safer to give her the 996rs and my son the 4.0.

My kids just want me to thrash my cars at the track. Wish they were smarter!
