Ok, back to regular programming =)
Ahh ... I remember these cars well. I was selling new Hondas back when these were new and we literally could not give away the last of the CRs. No one wanted them.

We had three and I actually sold all three of them gradually ... for around $33-$34k + ttl. Hilarious to see them bringing this kind of coin now.

Markets like this eliminate the "discerning" buyers and capture a wider audience of investors/speculators. I am not offering an opinion on one vs the other as we serve both in our client base, just offering a perspective on the market. Hence why mediocre/subpar cars that have been for sale for AGES are now disappearing from the market as well.
I would’ve expected someone to jump on this car right away after that pumpkin printed $200k+ On BaT. It was priced competitively at the ~$150K mark for someone looking for a nice RS. I definitely feel like the speculators have taken over the market for multiple desirable cars lately. S2Ks are on fire, 100 series land cruisers, E46 M3s, C7 corvettes, Vipers, etc. Lots of euphoria in the car market right now.

You are correct. My stock seats have been in storage for so long, that I have no idea what's what these days. However, it is funny how the back bolsters are worn on both sides. I've never seen that before.

Are the black cars less desirable overall? I think this one looks amazing. Also the Barrett Jackson car will actually go to live auction, which should be interesting.

I saw this happen to the 964 market years ago. These cars finally gained the respect they deserved and still do, The prices climbed for all 964's and those unwilling to pay up, were left chasing a climbing market. The prices for 964's have settled a bit, but not by much.

I think if you track. black car, they are going to show wear a lot faster and rock chips on black, well........

No problem! Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Yeah, that is what I was originally looking at is how the back bolsters had wear on both sides. Very strange.

Just out of curiosity, I tried to find info on this car, and why it has been sitting so long. Is it just the location?

I don't know. It was an auction car and this one website says salvage but I don't see why Auction
Maybe it was just at a dealer auction, but the dealer doesn't give any kind of Carfax or any background at all.

I bought the black and orange one with the orange "lipstick". It's grown on me though. BUT, been tempted to put it on BAT after all of the rave here lately on the 997.1s. I think you guys had if for a while. Got it from KY dealer with a CPO with 7k miles. So, pretty much a unicorn. Car is fantastic though. I just adore the sound with the GMG exhaust. Had it ceramic coated and paint protected, front and hips, etc. I think they will keep much of the newly appreciated value. They are unique in several ways, as most of you know. Mine is a base model and a purely analog experience.

I saw the vid on you guys at SC and your story. Really cool. Love to see how you've gain traction in this type of market. Well done.

Here is a pic after the little ones help me hand wash it. It's my 3rd one! Keep going back to these awesome machines.

Upon information and belief, this car being sold on consignment through Grand Prix Motors (https://www.grandprimotors.com/used/...ab139aa828.htm ; VIN WP0AC299X7S793198) is the same as the one in the track incident described here: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...d-parts-2.html . It is not reflected on the Carfax, and it is not being disclosed to potential buyers. I've spoken with one of those buyers in relation to my own GT3 for sale, and I expect he will be posting his own account soon. I just wanted to get this information into the community ASAP. Watch out. Due one's diligence. I have no independent knowledge of this connection between the damage and this car. Just suggesting a very detailed PPI on this one! If true, this is one of the worst "stories" I've come across.

Ditto. I ask for undercarriage pics even with a PPI. Lots of places that wear from heavy track use. Many of these will have a front bumper cover respray if they've been driven much, unless they've had paint protection installed. Doesn't bother me much. But, any previous damage or paint touch up beyond that would throw up a red flag and should be reflected in the price. For me, it's pretty easy to take care of these things. I drive them about 2k a year due to so much workload and customer visits. Got the DD Raptor for that. Mine doesn't see track use. Too many other tools out there for that job that are less expensive and big fun.

That dealership is owned by a Russian fellow if I’m not mistaken. With my experience, I wouldn’t be surprised this is the same car.
