Is anyone else as blown away with the selling price of this car as I am? This seems like the deal of the century. Am I missing something? I know it has 31k miles but what else????... i see the carfax notes damage in 2013 but nothing about it? Seems about 75-100k lower then I'd expect it to fetch in these crazy times.

was my car - it had a rear bumper replaced / it’s what these cars traded for prior to last year.

Amongst all these BaT cars it had all maintenance records / cam bolts / lsd / pinned lines etc all done

That sold back before the pandemic hit. It also had damage reported to Carfax. I think it still was a good deal back then.

Is that a slap of reality for the current bubble or a one off--playing with fire is right at least by that example holy cow

It’s a 2 year old listing. Why was this even brought up?

I thought the same until I looked at Wonderdan's comment about playing with fire--the implication being that there really isn't a shill bid because any bid relatively close to market price has risk-- the example set out to exemplify that risk being the dirt cheap RS at pre-pandemic pricing compared to today. At least that is how I viewed the comments and discussion

I apologize. I didn’t realize this listing was that old when I looked at it after it was posted here. I assumed with all the back and forth above about Bat bidding it was a resent auction/transaction. Clearly the selling price make a lot more sense now.

That was going to be my comment. You can sort on BaT by model year and then see the trends.

Some folks here might remember my question several weeks back on 997.2 GT3 vs 991.2 GT3 MT. Just posting an update now - this time I went over to the dark side
