Nice looking manual 997.1 with a lot of options on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...urbo-coupe-14/
this is two in a row very well optioned cars with $150k+ sticker price, PCCBs, sub 50k miles that failed to clear six figures. both silver. the other one had a minor carfax blemish but this one, i don't have any nitpicks. buyer got a good deal, from a comp perspective over the last 3 months. i am sure the sky is falling / market is cooling crowd are going to be chiming in here soon.

Of course there's also the wild card of who's in the room on that day. And to be honest, there's lots of 997 turbos for sale, so if someone has a deep wallet and some patience, they can find the exact low mileage car they're looking for.

That car has simply too many miles to have a big sale price. 48k miles is basically 50k miles. Take this same car and now imagine it had 12k miles. You still think it would sell for $93.5k? Most of the 997.1 cars that sold for $110k and up on BAT had <20k miles. There's a reason why people have garage queens---people will pay big money to buy the freshest version of a car they can find. To help support my point we have this ultra-low mileage car that sold for what I consider stupid money in early May (and it appears way less well equipped than the car you're talking about): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...urbo-coupe-11/

i could have sworn 100k was the new normal for these 50k mile cars but looking at history, that's not the case at all. apparently i have been imagining things / am an idiot.
this one landed exactly where it should have given the mileage for the market lately.

you are very right.

So perfectly fine cars with great owners with 50k+ miles get low-balled - but that's exactly where the deals are for a buyer...!

I rather buy a car with some miles that have been taken care of than those garage queens with very low miles. These cars hate to sit. Seals dry, etc!

Speaking of ultra-low-mileage, here's one with 2700 miles. Weird story about the paintwork because a trickle charger fell on it but otherwise looks nice.

Not only that, but when you pay big money for those cars you've essentially bought a car that you can't drive. If you put miles on it, you're wiping away the premium that you paid for it (unless you have FU money and it doesn't matter)

^ I totally agree, don't get the uber low miles thing as I really enjoy driving vs just looking at cars sitting there. Plus I don't have FU money or a warehouse/museum anyway.... I did buy my '09 with pretty low miles (22K) in 2014 but now it's about to hit 50K. #getoutanddrive
Meanwhile this yellow '07 manual coupe just went up with 10K miles. Will be interesting -

This just went up yesterday. Low mileage 2011 Turbo S. Very similar to my car except I have 7k more miles on mine.

Geeze, that car is skyrocketing! I think the yellow is interesting and certainly unique, but I've never been one for paying a premium just for a rare color. The underside of the car looks impressively clean. I could see paying a premium for something to clean and in excellent shape.

Check out this auction -
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...urbo-coupe-25/
I also want to ask you guys whether you think this statement in the description is true - "The Sport Chrono Package allows the 997.1 Turbo to overboost for up to 10 seconds, increasing peak rated torque to 505 ft-lb." I never really get on mine hard, but as soon as I shift to second, the boost is gone. Of course I can't stay in first for even 2 seconds.
