Default 2026 992.2 GT Touring w/PTS Viola Purple Metallic Did Not Meet Reserve On BAT Today

Interesting. 992.2 GTT with highly sought after PTS Viola Purple Metallic did not meet reserve today on BAT at $350K. A few months ago that car would have easily hit 400K and probably met reserve. Maybe a sign of some market softening? Maybe not but interesting data point nonetheless.

I'm not the smartest guy, but the photo of the exhaust components show more rust/temperature cycles for 95 miles than my car does at 3,900 miles.

I'm not sure that's rust. I think it's just simple discoloration from getting hot during use. But good point.

So the gazillion price threads in this Sub weren't sufficient to discuss a random BaT Auctions result?

You don't have to read it, sweetie. It was relevant.

I'll never understand why forum people get mad when people start new threads on similar topics. This isn't Wikipedia.

The car is nice, but the interior not so much.

Just does not work. A touring really needs a nicer interior. EM with buckets will do it.

I much prefer my wing car interior with WP. Suits the car.
this is in-between.

And that bid was placed in a very questionable manner and time. The user has strange bidding habits.

Allegedly, this is a "Technical Discussion" Sub. So there's that.
And then there's general fatigue over these threads.

A new thread for one car selling/not selling is not sustainable. Why not try to keep it somewhat under control?

The price of the auction today is relevant to the ongoing discussion as Reserve was not met. Not sure how to explain that to you? Try Chat GPT.

The reason for all these value threads is the speculative nature of GT3s. The day they started becoming “assets” that appreciate, we invited all these people who prior to that point in time would neither know how to get in a GT3 nor would be able to tolerate various strange noises it makes. Thats our reality. One day maybe that group will leave the brand and we will go back to 997 days. Who knows.
