Great buy.

Highway robbery. You need to go to jail for stealing this car. Enjoy with much health!

If you bought it for $77k +BF's you stole it. Congrats!

I think you did fine. The market went way up, but lately has settled into a groove where low mileage cars and unique/rare colors and/or high spec seems to be the ones bringing top dollar. Presentation is always crucial: Had the seller re-sprayed the front lip & rear bumper ahead of the auction, and displayed before & after photos, I believe the bid would have gone closer to 85-90 for your car. I paid pretty much the same amount (just under 81k) in November 2020 at a Porsche dealer for a 2011 Turbo S Cab with 42k on the clock. Your car has great specs, a unique color, and a few needs that are easily addressed that were all disclosed in the listing. Clean it up and enjoy. Even though I bought at a dealer, mine still had a few items that needed addressing post-purchase.

What's going to be interesting to watch is where the white TT Cab goes with 85k on the clock on BaT. Same model, nearly double miles. 5 hours to go. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...-cabriolet-15/ I am very curious to see where it ends.

something that occurred to me - people seemed to have wised up that the market is cooling. there hasn't been a 6speed turbo coupe listed on BaT for like 10 days now. the first half of this year there were often 2-3 listed at once.

Interesting observation...

That car was a STEAL at that price!

Johnny DB

I agree! I'm kind of jealous

2010 6 speed Turbo. WP0AD2A97AS766430. Great spec with sport seats. It also seems that finding one of these (6 speed .2 Turbo) with a clean CarFax is hard, this one has a clean CarFax.

Wonder how much the aftermarket exhaust will hurt the price. (Not knocking it, as I did the same to mine and love it; just curious.) 6 months ago this would have brought...140ish? Now?

the car should end up at 150-175k by tomorrow is my hunch but with these auctions you never know

Exhaust shouldn’t affect value at all. I’d expect value to be affected when adding things like a tune, intercoolers, aftermarket turbos etc. wheels also could hurt price, even a good set like BBS, since people generally prefer a stock looking car and wheels are personal preference.

Close! I think that was a good buy, actually; should have gone for more.

Hey guys, hope all is well. I won the bid on this auction and will be a proud first time Porsche owner this week! I’m pretty excited to go and pickup the car, it is local to me as I’m in West LA. I have been a Mercedes (AMG) guy for many years now, and still am but wanted to try something new.

It seems like this is a nice example and super clean. What do you guys think about the price I paid ($143,972) ? And the color combo?

I’ve lowered pretty much every car I’ve owned, what do you guys think about a set of H&R springs? Also looking to do a ECU Tune. What’s the best way to go? GIAC?

Thanks for the input guys.

Congratulations! As above I think you got a good buy. I love the colors, and the third pedal! Great that it has the Sport Chrono package as well.

I personally have no experience with lowering, so won't comment on that.

As to a tune, I am biased, but I highly recommend Kevin and Ultimate Motorwerks. Not only does he provide a great tune, but he knows these cars incredibly well, as is demonstrated by his contributions to this forum on a very regular basis. Also, depending on how far you take the car with modifications, he has a clutch solution as well.
