Wowww. I guess this is the "floor" for pumpkins now with it being a wholesale auction, and condition of the car. I assume there were other bidders bidding it up to that amount too and not just 1 dealer. I'm just glad I was able to secure my Pumpkin before this one comes on the market asking 240+ at this dealer and others adjust their prices too on them. Sadly I still have to wait 30 days before it lands at my door.

Hilarious and bonkers. I'm not surprised the dealer went in for it at that price, as I'm certain they have no idea what they're really looking at or for. They probably just see Pumpkins listed mid to high 200s at Merit, GP, RFM and think they got a steal, not knowing that the audience is us, will destroy them on history and condition.

...its rare to have a car like this and still be able to get all the OEM parts. The GT2 seats were discontinued late 2021 and now used are double the price of NIB, so buy what you need now

It can work the other way also, if your a DIY person 90% of the cosmetic wear on with these can be replaced to new condition for under $10k, and if you dig deep enough in the forum someone will show you how.

Yep... private sellers do it also... remember mine wouldn't shift to 1st without double clutching when I got it and the guy said "There is no way I would have noticed that, who uses first gear in a GT car".

Still lots of $ on the sidelines. Friend wants to buy a 488 Pista, he saw one for sale for 550k which seemed high, he offered them 450 which they laughed at and later in the week it sold for 540k. The right cars are still selling very quickly.

Kind of agree with you, but as an owner of both and knowing the market has maybe pulled back a little there is little incentive to sell. Private owners with pristine cars just aren't going to sell in that range, they will just wait for better market conditions, at least speaking for myself. Buyers should know this and if they want a good car then its never getting less expensive to buy if you find the right car, regardless who owns it, pay the premium and be happy you found one of the good ones.
I don't think the market has dried up at all for the 997 RS cars, I've talked to about a half dozen people in the past 30 days who are ready to go with cash in hand trying to find a 997 RS for themselves to buy. The main issue for them is they don't want to pay the Ryan/Merit/GP premium and the cars they are finding all have some kind of story regarding DME, paint work, lots of miles but price not reflecting it, etc. They've told me they are ready to go to buy a 997.1 3RS for 220-250 but it has to be "clean" or a 997.2 3RS for 275-315 but once again it has to be clean/priced appropriately.

For the rest, it's probably a win win to transact without a middle man/dealer, which requires a seller to understand the asking prices they see at Merit, Ryan Friedman, or others, don't necessarily equate to the eventual transaction prices, and aren't generally reflective of what they themselves could achieve in a sale.
