"bit of a stretch"???? 90K USD is freeking insane for this car. Should have taken the 71K IMO, that was fair market value. I'm not sure this car would have got 90K at the top of the insane market two years ago.

I met the guy who bought the most expensive Cayman R sold on BAT at I believe $91,000 plus BAT fees. It's Peridot green with a few thousand miles and buckets/6sp. He never drives the car, told me he thinks it's ugly, and he's storing it to sell in the future.

To make this even better, the same guy told me how he has connections with the local Chevy dealer to get a C8, he had something like 3 Vettes already.

It's increasingly common especially for this vintage of Porsche. I feel like a significant percentage of 997 era GT3s (specifically RS) are now just places to park money and don't get a lot of use anymore. Market makers and "investors" drove the prices up now that everyone realized it's not an experience the company offers any longer. Nor almost anyone else for that matter.

2011 Spyder. 28k miles. Pic 74 shows some weird cabling that is painters taped onto the underside of the car, sort of strange. It does have what appears to be a K40 (or other brand) radar/laser system on it, but having done multiple installs of radar systems, that cable looks different than those. The bigger issue on this one is the mileage discrepancies. WP0CB2A85BS745339

Obviously, people can do whatever they want with their money, but my goal with cars is to have a great time and hopefully not lose every penny I put into it. Just remember, when you go on a vacation, you get $0 in return, you get memories only, which are great. With cars, everyone wants to be a dealer or an investor and make money. Confusing to me why we can't treat cars more like fun or a decent place to park money and maybe just lose 25% of the value of the car and less like an investment.
Side note, I'm speaking from the point of view of one of the less wealthy guys on here so this isn't a wealth perspective it is a mindset perspective.
This one brought pretty good $$$ for being dirty, having a mileage discrepency and needing work. Seems like he rolled it out of the garage w/o bothering to even clean it. He's lucky it wasn't on BAT - their peanut gallery would've lit him up for the mileage issue.

If M. Walker doesn't buy this car then I'm calling him out as a fraud.
99% sure this is the car he was driving in his recent video. Colour, seats, gearbox, plates, Spyder side vents, it all lines up.
