30k-Mile 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed for sale on BaT Auctions - ending March 16 (Lot #68,121) | Bring a Trailer



Just hit the market. The damage reported isn't as big a deal as the Bank1 VGT actuator rod just dangling there. Once this thing hits full boost... it won't.

(Pictures 130-134 &136 show the actuator rod clearly disconnected and just hanging around). Interested to see if anyone notices.

WOW! I tried to buy that car from RAC in 2017. I was a little spooked by all the electrical system inspections on the Carfax, plus it sat for months at a St Louis dealer before turning up at RAC. Still, I made them a strong offer within $2k or so of their asking and they didn’t even counter, so I moved on. I think they were asking 70 or 68k. Market is nuts.

I had one of these come off. Car runs REALLY bad above 1/3 throttle. I put new ones in and lubricated them.

Wow, $123k all in for that Olive green car with 65k miles. I get it's a rare color. The Turbo market isn't showing any signs of slowing down.

As much as I think people paying that much for a 997 turbo is crazy--full stop--it certainly benefits all of us when it comes to both overall values across the board and the ability to keep driving the car w/out worrying about the cost of additional miles. My car is a basic color (meteor gray), but has substantially fewer miles and paid substantially less than $123k back in December 2020. And truth be told, I thought the car was probably $4-5k more expensive than the market at the the time. Now? It seems like I got a bargain.

2007, 6 speed, white/beige, 17k miles. looks stock but seems to be a pretty modest spec.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...turbo-coupe-9/

already at 120k with 5 days to go

also in comparison to that dark olive metallic posting, these photos are fantastic.

For my money..... white/beige couldn't be a more "meh" color combo...great photos or not. However, for the current bidder, it is apparently the cat's pajamas.

Drivers-miles 07 6spd just went for $92k before fees, not a bad result.

what is it about this car that pushes it to $120k with 5 days to go. Under 130k Msrp. Not my favorite interior color but it looks to be in good shape.

Was reminded why using BAT has become so popular when I received a trade in offer of 73k today for my 2009 black on black 6 speed with 37,000 miles

That's a ridiculous number.
