By chance, is the owner of this auction on RL? It's a 2012 Carrara White Spyder with carrera red interior, PDK, and PCCB. VIN ending 45076.

I saw that auction and it's been sitting there. Guess the Range 5 has scared off everybody.

Out of curiosity for those that know how to interpret the DME overrev reports, how long was he in range 5 and range 4? Seems like from the limited information discussed in this thread, the current owner is the one that money shifted vs him buying the car with the overrev from the previous owner. If so, that seems like the money shift cost him some money for this sale as it looks like he's going to take a pretty big hit before he unloads the car.

The inspection guy was there too he did the math I can't remember it exactly something like 0.3-0.5 sec

This car was stolen! Not for me due to PDK, but an absolute great buy on a highly optioned example.

would think that if it was sold today the current owner would make money on the deal.

Another Carrara White CR. This one probably had some track use (3rd radiator, GT3 brake ducts, Girodisc rotors) and was a driver like it should be... 80,000 miles! This will be a good data point for those of us that like to put the miles on our cars

Zach you are right, this is pretty much the spec the "purists" are looking for (buckets and manual) and single owner, and this car may have the most amount of miles I have seen on an R. Based on the upgraded rotors, brake ducts, and added radiator, it seems to be owned by a knowledgeable enthusiast too. Very interested to see where this lands.

With basically the same mods (plus a couple others) and 78K on my R, I'll be keeping an eye on this one as well! BTW - the BAT listing shows single owner and no track or autox use.

Zach L

I'm skeptical. The only people I know with the combination of those mods on their car, track their car - especially the GiroDisc. Not that I mind a car being tracked, or even over-revs for that matter... cars that are tracked are cars that are well cared for and kept up with on maintenance, in my experience.

Am I missing something because I thought with the range 5 overrev, I thought it would need to be heavily discounted and my guess is that's why it hasn't sold because it is a very nice spec?

Zach L

?? That car sold at auction and I don't see any mention over-revs.

The overrevs statement was actually from the actual seller on the BAT auction. If you go to the completed auction, look in the comments from 9/30/21 at 11:49am from massflyer as that was the seller. He/she goes on to talk about the questioning of the paint and the range 4 and range 5 overrevs. Yc911Kid in an earlier post in this thread mentions that apparently someone went to do an inspection and calculated the amount of time it spent in the overrev ranges.

I never saw a report and the new listing doesn't show a report so I would definitely want to see an official report on this car. Again, it is a BEAUTIFUL spec but....this report (lack thereof) does cause some concern.

There's the issue - Miggytosh and I were talking about the silver-wheeled Spyder that sold on C&B being a great deal (you posted a link to it), not the black-wheeled Spyder that sold on BaT and now on Issimi.
