Still always fun to watch. I'm sure the polarizing red accents played a part, in addition to the RSS lower control arms and upgraded master cylinder. There's basically zero reason to add those last two items unless you're tracking the car, so perhaps that weighed on folks too. I'm sure the missing bolt couldn't have helped and seems like something so obvious and easy to notice/replace prior to uploading the photos. I just think this one didn't 'show' as well as some other examples, but again, close to a $74k sales prices is hardly anything to sneeze at and I'm sure someone got a great car. The prior examples that recently sold for $20k more were both low mileage examples.
I very briefly regretted not bidding at that price, but then remembered I don't need a Cayman R alongside my Spyder...as much as I would like to!

A 2011 just popped up on DuPont Registry. I know it’s not an auction but it’s a data point.

I thought the price tag for brand new was ~ $12K?

5 hours left - will it break $70k? I’m curious how this auction site does compared to BAT. I had never heard of this site before this thread.

My (biased) opinion is that this car is well-bought for anything under $75k.

It deserves to be above $70k in this market. Hopefully the traffic on Pcarmarket allows it to get enough interested eyeballs looking at the car to make that happen.

I would not recommend this auction site. $64.5k is a great deal.

The comment section has a frustrated bidder saying the site would not allow a bid of his through. The seller is contacting the website. Maybe the auction gets extended due to the technical difficulties? If not, the seller lost potential money and winning bidder got a great deal. Not a good situation if legitimate.
Looks like a comment got deleted where the losing bidder is pleading for the seller and the winning bidder to all coordinate so they can negotiate behind closed doors. All of this seems strange, I wish we could have seen a bidding battle.

Wow, sounds like a mess, if true. I would not be looking to sell on PcarMarket anytime soon. Or buy, for that matter.

I was very surprised that Spyder did not go higher. I was expecting at least around $70k.
I've even had issues with BAT. It'll show 0 seconds on the main page and then when you go into the actual listing it'll show time left. Or the time will be incorrect all together in the actual listing, or dollars will not be accurate. Many of my friends have had noticed this too. We'll all be talking about a car and we'll all show different time or dollar amounts. Granted, I've never bid, but this seems to be common on BAT.
