Well said!!!

I bought my GT3 for just over 100k. I cant put miles on fast enough in order to have it maintain its value. No matter how hard I try, the darn thing just keeps appreciating. Hoping to do another 10k this year.

I bought my 7.2 for $120k in June 2021, put another $20k into it to make sure everything was how I wanted and would give me no issues.

27k miles when I bought it. Just cracked 43k today on a drive up PCH.
Sold my Model 3 daily after 5 months because I never used it. The GT3 is really an enjoyable machine from all angles.

I don't know the car but the name listed as the owner/president on the current ad is the same as the winning bidder two years ago on BaT. That link is below so you can compare the winning bidder name with the listed president of the company now selling it on Autotrader.

For the money he’s asking you’d think he’d bring it back to stock as much as possible. Car looks like sh*t now.

Been out of the loop for a little and saw the .1 with 6k miles that sold on BaT for 196k plus fees. I cannot believe it honestly; this market is kind of out of control. I guess the good thing is if I ever need a quick buck, I have quite an asset. But for now, I will go enjoy driving it because it is so damn good

Random guess.
It's wild out here. I went to ACH on Saturday and saw 3 997.1 GT3s- Guards Red and 2x white ones.

Mileage has never been a major deterrent to me. As long as the car is well kept and maintained, mileage isn't really a worry. My .1 has 40k and while I have a few fun cars to rotate, I can easily see putting 5k/yr on this thing and not losing much if any money if/when i decide to sell it.

I just sold my NA1 NSX with 135k miles on it for pennies less than cars with half the miles. Why? because it is in incredible shape, i take care of it and have done every lick of maintenance you can do. That car is 31 years old, maintenance is much more important than a low ODO (of which many people just unplug...).

wow, $40k markup ^^^ .... just like that (assuming they bought at just slightly higher than the last bid,... but below the Reserve)

.... and also funny to read the BaT comments that talk of how the 4k mile frog sold for $290k earlier,... and that this pumpkin should have sold in this vicinity.

Grand Prix just keep piling on,.... until the shoe finally drops

I don't think things have really changed much. Garage queens remain garage queens. Dealers look for deals to mark up. The only change I can think of is some people may have pause before driving their cars at track events where you have to count on the talent of others.

I see new owners here having fun as they should.

Is this really a thing? I didn't think you could "unplug" an odometer on any modern car and still have it operate outside of limp mode.

I think he was talking about the 31 year old NSX
