all this for $50k :-(
https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0817-30...che-911-turbo/
I cant find the mileage....but depreciation curve going to allow me to buy 3 of these before I ever get a 930 turbo.

Wonder if there's accident damage? If that sold for $50k it's around $56k after buyer's fees, which is pretty low but not unheard of if it has some miles or needs work. Or maybe that body kit tanked it. You also hear from the air-cooled people any time a car falls short of auction expectations that it photographed well but was a mess in person.
That said, first impression is that the buyer stole it.

Its a very early 2007 which originally sold in July of 2006. While it has PCCB, Sport Chrono, and diff lock, it is pretty much a stripper other than those options. 139k original MSRP. The mods likely turned people off.

I've bought two cars previously at Mecum auctions... Non Porsches.
Remember at a Mecum auction, you are buying a car 1) without a test drive, 2) without a PPI, 3) 100% as-is, where-is, and 4) pay a 5% buyers premium on top of the hammer price, plus a few other fees. In this case, on top of all that it had unknown mileage (at least to us, buyer probably glanced at the speedo) and it sounds like accident history and bodywork.
If a minty 2007 Turbo is worth $70K (eg: the last one I looked a couple of months ago, perfect condition, nice color combo, 23K miles, manual, 100% stock, clean PPI) how much of a discount would you want for a as-is, where-is, no-ppi, no-test drive, higher mileage (probably), accident history car? I'd say MINIMUM 20%, which is $56K, right where this car sold. And that's assuming the bodywork looked great at first inspection...

if someone has carfax, they could run the VIN and find out the mileage.

I agree though, the mods really hurt this car.

Wait a minute, why isn't the mileage posted on this listing? They don't post... the most important factor, the mileage of a car?
If this car had 118k miles on it, and it had the accident situation, then $50k was more than the right price.
But am I missing something? Where the heck is the freakin' mileage listed on this car?

Mecum almost never posts odometer mileage in their auctions or even on the car stickers if you attend in person ... Probably because a large majority of their cars are classics where the indicated mileage is incorrect or rolled over and actual vs. indicated vs. 'stated' mileage disputes are common.

Oil filter housing and engine bay look pretty scuzzy and neglected. Rest of the car looks clean from the pics . i guess 80k + miles and an imminent coolant pipe failure in its future .
