Really surprised you're having trouble moving this. I thought 105 would have taken it. Either the market is down turning or I just overvalued.2 GTS'.

Or perhaps put more effort in the original post.
Can't hurt to just go thr BaT route.

IMO (not that anyone cares..) it’s the red interior and the lack of photos. There’s no other reason it could be. The car is great except for the red.

Yeah I can see that, although if I was in the market the red interior is my preference. I love it, but would need to swap the steering wheel.

I honestly think it might be the red interior as well, it is quite bold (not judging, to each is own). Think if this car had black interior it would have been long gone, especially at the current pricing.

Good luck with the sale OP

I'm telling ya man, add a paragraph or two to the description and this should go much smoother for you...

"Introducing this lovingly cared for 997.2 GTS for sale by the ___nd/rd/th owner to make room for something new in the stable. Originally sold and delivered to Porsche of Huntington, NY, the 911 is currently registered and located in California, with previous registration in _______ and _________. Extensive service history including most recently an oil change in ____ 2022, brake fluid flush in 201_, and spark plugs in 201_. Aftermarket staggered ______ wheels are wrapped in Michelin _________ were mounted in _______, 20__, with just __,____ miles since installation. One of a few Porsche cars in my collection, this Platinum Silver Metallic GTS primarily saw weekend-driver duty with ___ PCA-sponsored club day(s) at our local track. Vehicle history report shows ___ accidents.

Fitted with 12-way power seats and wrapped in sought-after Carrera Red leather, this GTS is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8L engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. With the addition of factory-spec'd heated seats and a heated steering wheel, as well as the BOSE surround sound entertainment system, this 997.2 is the perfect car for Cars & Coffee, weekend cruising, or even daily driving.

The seller acquired the car in ________, and has added ___,______ miles since taking possession. Service records, as well as any removed OEM parts, will be included in the sale."


Something like this, which still isn't much compared to most other auctions with vehicles of this caliber, with the photos you've added since first posting, will likely go a long way.

You might be New to things but a quick google search will result in many high dollar "No receive" auctions for not just cars that dont "start" at $0 as you are expecting.

There is a fine line between being hell bent on arguing even at the cost of muddying up someone's For Sale thread and outright trolling. There is a LOT of both going on in this thread. There are many forums and threads to satisfy those needs, move on.

Not sure how I missed this as it would have been very ideal at $105k when I was in the market (went 991.2 GTS).

Agree with most sentiments above. I’ve spent more effort selling my beater F150.

The red interior can be polarizing but those not interested will move on. I personally love red interiors and this color combo works great.

The elaborate write up posted earlier is the ticket/story this car deserves! Here’s your free bump lol
