Correct. It seems the black non pccb car sale at $362k has stimulated some deals.

Just went by there and talked to the GM. The car sold a couple days ago and it’s off to its new owner in Minnesota.

Good to know. I spoke to the GM a week ago and they were firm at 399.

That means the following big money .1s should be SOLD:

GRP green(non pccb), white collection , MR green, Merit pumpkin, and then the black auction record breaker(non pccb)

I deleted the listing and tried to relist without paying for the “private seller exchange” service and it won’t let me, saying the car is already listed *facepalm*

So I’ll wait till customer service reopens tomorrow.

CarGurus is even stupider because it forced me to get a cash offer when I tried to list my car, and they made the generous offer of $50k LMAO, and when I try to list, I keep getting an error that there is an active offer for my car. Send a chat message to cancel the offer and they say someone will get back to me in 1-2 business days.

If I really wanted to sell right now I’d go to an auction but as said above, I’m not a very motivated seller unless someone offers what I’m asking.

I’ve been chatting with a local via Facebook marketplace that seems pretty serious but no money where their mouth is yet.

Might wait till spring and raise the price as demand generally goes up.

cars.com link is up:

update: took all my for sale ads down. Took her for a drive today for the first time in months and I’ll be keeping her for now. Can’t wait for the proper driving season to begin here in NJ, and some big maintenance updates coming to my build journal thread.

Does anyone have an opinion or not a topic of interest?

Here’s some history on that particular car when it was discussed a 4 years ago.

Thanks for your help/reply. I read the thread previously before posting so just wondering why it's still for sale. Seems like issues were addressed with the exception of the suspension setup. Pricing seems reasonable but I'm no expert.

I think they’re asking too much all things considered. The damage reported on the Carfax doesn’t help it. Has been listed at the current ask for quite sometime.

I can confirm it sold as I bought it from them. Rather not go into detail on what I paid specifically as it gets muddy with trades etc but all in all, it’s in alignment with recent sales and listings given condition and mileage.

Yea, I'm not liking the paint mismatch and misalignment of the hood in relation to the front bumper and forward section of the fender. The headlights look spotless for a car with 28k miles. They even look newer than the rears. Also the bolts holding on the rear bumper all from different areas of the car.

I replaced the lenses on my 30k miles RS. Pretty cost effective maintenance item.

Peppering on 911s is just part of the journey. the hips are so wide it is inevitable. Even with PPF you arent going to maintain a brand new finish on these. Buy it and enjoy it, it'll never be worth less.
