Should be interesting to see what a nice pdk 997.2 does right now.
Nice car.

I always wonder why people don't spend some time properly prepping the car for sale?
The paint on the car is terrible. You can see all the swirls on the close ups.
The front lip should have been replaced.
Interior is very dirty.

I guess you could say that is what it is, but it shows the lack of care by PO.

You know, I don't disagree one bit; I slap my forehead when I see things like that. And it does tend to telegraph a signal of uncaring ownership. I guess that's good if you're a buyer and can see through the dirt or speak to the servicing tech to get a better idea of what's what with the car.

About 4 years ago, I bought an 87 Ferrari 328 with 11k miles, two owner car, purchased from terrible eBay photos inside a dusty warehouse of a semi forlorn looking car (and priced accordingly). I spoke to the owner who'd just lost interest but was an otherwise fine person. When I got the car, a family of mice had died in the AC vents. Not kidding. Yet after the largish catch-up service and detailing, underneath the neglect lay an astounding car I kept for 2 years.

No doubt the pictures of the TT we're discussing will cost the seller, but it may be a semi blessing to the new - and hopefully well informed - purchaser.

Bid to 92k, buy now of $110k. It does look very clean but $110k sure would be all the money...

I think the results reflect what I've been seeing. It isn't as crazy as some like to believe the market is. Sure there will be high bids for rare configurations... But seeing this low of a result for such a mint car proven by dme and pics (and the fact Ryan Friedman had ownership of this at one point), tells me it's not the apple stock every dealer tries to convince you it is.

So I guess the seller had a full ppf wrap done (and spent a nice chunk doing that) and thought the swirls would be covered up? Too bad. Paint correction first, then the full wrap, would have made more sense. Still a quality car, though. Someone will love it!

Talking

Oops, I think I conflated the two cars. Was wondering why I saw a clutch when I was checking for the dirty interior....

$110k, even in today's insanity market, is a pipe dream for that car.

I think that result was pretty reasonable price for a 1 owner 16k mile 997.2 Turbo that was exceptionally cared for, and rolls on sweet HRE's. I would wager that either RAC or Ryan Friedman would ask above 110k for it if it was in their inventories.

Yeah, I guess .2 PDK Turbos are in a weird spot because a lot of people would probably just pay a little more for a Turbo S. If that had been a 6spd .2, it would probably have hit $120k.

Makes me wonder what my TTS would do today. I'm not shopping it but given the current market it's pretty much in the "everything's for sale at the right price" category right now

Pretty unique TTS on Pcarmarket:

Not totally convinced on the wheels but the rest of it looks nice. I'm always a sucker for Arena Red-looking paint jobs.

holy cow... already 95k! and holy cow... less than 2k miles, this thing was placed in a time capsule right out of the original dealership!
