I’m hanging on to mine. This isn’t close to my traditional buy high sell low pattern.🤣

Buyer paid 200k+ with auction house fees since they usually run 10%+.

Cool car. Not worth a penny over MSRP, in my opinion. With the Weissach package and some light options, this car goes for twice what the GT4 cost at release. Twice. For a slightly better engine. Insanity. Porsche are freaking wizards, making people fight over the chance to pay $50k ADM for this.
I am a Porsche fan myself; I like everything the brand does, its philosophy, and what it usually stands for. When I think of the regular GT4 or Spyder, I truly have a hard time finding a comparable driving experience for that money (assuming MSRP).
But I think wise consumers who aren’t fanboys must call out a brand sometimes, even if it’s their favorite.

Regardless of what the auction house made on top of the sale, it’s surprising to see such a precipitous decline in value for the original owner who paid ~$278k new. The sentiment used to be that these cars are the last of its kind (may still be) and that they would only go up in value from then onwards - which is how I think most justified paying large ADMs. It’ll be interesting to see if this is one off event vs a trend

The seller owes 12% to the auction house as well as the buyer. So they only get $158,400. The selling price with fees is $201,600. The auction house collected $43,200 in all.

I am amazed those auction houses stay in business with commission #s like that. It's no wonder BaT and the such are so popular.
I understand for older, more rare, way more expensive items...but for a car still on sale? 24%!?
