This car was/is just simply awesome. Look at his build thread here in this forum for any of you's whom are interested in modding a 997 GT car....
this baby is sale pending, took all of 24 hours. Great car, great price, great seller....I had a chance, but cash is king. Need to be ready on the spot....(I'm need to sell my other two rides and am dragging my feet lol)

Well, we could have our own game show. I suspect he's talking about the 3k mile .1 at Merit Partners? But they have it with an ask of $205,990

As an aside, if you're curious why my silver .2 GT3 is still on Autotrader and the price changed (up), etc it's because I was thinking I could keep it. It's so f*cking nice and the sound and GT silver color and all that. But alas I will have to sell it so trying to figure it out.

With this auction closing this afternoon, I wonder how much effect, if any, this week's market crash will have on the hammer price

QueueCumber

it would be hard to draw parallels to most 997.2 RS cars based on the seats (as someone else implied already).

You really think they matter so much? I would take the Adaptives over buckets any day unless I was tracking the car. I can't be the only one.

QueueCumber

It matters to most people I know. I had a list of features I felt were most important and that was one of them along with PCCBs and some other stuff.

I think the market value of the buckets being so high may also have some effect. But the adaptive seats are incredibly comfortable and certainly an interesting choice on an RS. And it's an otherwise well-optioned car from what it seems like

Asked Geoff and the biggest drivers of value (besides PTS and color of course) are buckets, PCCB, Nav, and Lift. So I was looking for all those and it took a long time to find the right one for me. Turned out to be Geoff’s old car… haha

On BAT I think things are largely affected by the number of bidders… which I’m guessing is lower at the moment. My personal opinion is that if this had buckets it would have gone for $250 today, and last fall for $265. So take buckets out of the equation and that’s 235k today…

so my wild assumptions say the GT market is down 4-5% from its height. That’s pretty good all things considered… the 991.1 are getting hammered.

You’re funny. Like the clown that molested me.

Wonderdan

this threads been a little slow moving since prices stopped going up 10% a month, I figure if we start speculating on them dropping its bound to get interesting

QueueCumber

If these values are dropping, you should be more worried about your other investments. The world is dropping.

Wonderdan

The only absolute depreciating asset I have is time, so I’ll just keep on driving it and pretending everything is A OK

In a normal world this car would have lost 20% of its value driving off the dealer lot… so we got a long ways to go before we should worry

I didn't see this result posted in the thread:

Seems like a very good result, regardless of "global economy" turmoil.

Wonderdan

yea that car owner impressed me, one owner all the maintenance records and no over revs In nearly 40k miles
