The entire car was also repainted since the paint was faded. Most Porsche buyers will run away from a fully repainted car. It also had an accident reported to Carfax. I bet this car would have easily sold around $90k+ if it had the original paint and no Carfax incident .
Additionally, these auction cars need to add the auction fees to the selling price.
I agree that cab and tip can't be heavily weighted. My first 2 links were 6 speed coupes. There seems to be no benchmark for a 140k mile car established yet. But being as a 67k car sold for $77k, and a 23k mile car sold for $81k recently shows no support for $75k on this car, would you agree?
The one sold in BAT for $81k plus 5% BAT fees in February was located in Hawaii, which will make it a very limited market.
The other one you mentioned was sold last December and you need to add the BAT fees. There have been more recent comparable sales that the cars sold at a higher price.
Omg stop bitching don’t buy it the car is for sale at a price that will sell but not to you so keep on walking and talking
damn son
No "bitching" here, I stated I am interested and will keep an eye out for an aggressive price drop. The seller then politely asked for comps to justify a lower price, so they were attempted to be given, but can't find any at this mileage delta.
You won’t find comparables with these miles. Most people that own these car with high miles usually keep their cars forever. This is the reason you don’t see many for sale with these miles. Most that are for sale with low miles usually move from owners to owners. Each owner is trying not to lose money and usually sell their cars after only putting a few mile on them. Good luck with your hunt.
Like I am interested, but we are so far apart that I don't feel my offer is worth sending. Just a ton of miles here and no previous 140k or even 100k mile sales to comp/justify it.
Comp #1: No-sale - did not meet reserve. Not a true comp if a deal wasn't made.
Comp #2: Over a year ago, irrelevant. I sold a GT2 RS for $408k a year ago. One just closed for $776k a few seconds ago. Market ain't the same today, like it or not.
Comp #3: Cabriolet. Not the same market as coupes, never has been - they always trade for less.
Comp #4: Tiptronic.
For what it's worth, based on all the complaints in the thread, we have responded by adjusting the price closer to other asking prices on the open market. Thank you for the feedback, and as always, we're open to offers, trades, etc.

You can try, but you're not gonna outsmart Doug on cars, values, history...etc.
Oh, you can; and it really doesn't matter who's right - ultimately the car will sell for a number that makes sense for all parties involved. Might be for less than we're asking, might be for more - all bets are off in this market.
What I've found though is the people who pontificate the most on forums/BaT discussion are the ones who buy/bid the least. They're perpetually shopping for a better deal regardless of the market, and every car is overpriced no matter how cheap it is. I could post this one at $60k and they'd still find a reason not to buy it, and then they'd post next year in another thread how they didn't buy this one for $60k so the next car should be $55k.
