judging from the pictures this is a rare NB (Narrow Body) style, so it demands a premium 0 at the end of the price, just like on old Porsches

The vendor is open to, quote: "sensible, Offers..." though. Appalling pics, presumably mis-typed price, 0/10 for effort.

I'm utterly flabbergasted that an adult human can spell "water" wrong.

Given "the market" is so ballooned, going by that logic submitting to the thread at all is out because nothing is overpriced as long as someone is willing to buy it. So we all really have is opinion, otherwise we're posting based on perceptions of what other people might think...and what's the point of that. But thank you for leading with the presumption of ignorance even so. Very PH.

Rarity, "ultimate M3" mystique, and minimal mileage included, I consider it overpriced. beer

996 turbos were also 20k

It’s amazing what happens when funds run dry.

Thinking about it the guy who’s m3 I bought for 16k was getting a 997 turbo for 40odd. That car must have only been a couple years old also at the time as a dead early 997 turbos 05/06 reg.

2008 was a glorious year for some, and yes I am hopeful of a repeat.

I sold my 964RS for £28,000 back in 2002, worst financial decision of my life!

Not quite Princess Diana but close enough, 120k miles S500 for which you can pay a 5 to 6 times the market price because it used to belong to David Beckham.



Terrible advert with random Caps generator On random Words guaranteed To Annoy, however you'll be glad to hear that according to the seller, it can very easily be brought to "contours" standard, and the engine is in "emulated" condition. Needless to say, he guarantees that it will go up in value.

If you need any more convincing (which of course you don't), he helpfully includes a pic of Victoria climbing into a different car

How about insuring it? eek

And finding a broker who's willing to give an 'agreed value' of that much. Doubt it'll ever be driven on the road. The only black Mk 1 RS Turbo built apparently. frown
Nope, apparently there are 3??
They made 3 but only this one with black on the vin tag i think.
Overspray biggrin

Likewise, although some people will be taking a loss, others will simply have ridden a wave to the top but waited too long to sell.

I remember looking (briefly) at a really nice RHD Testarossa for £30k in 2010. Not sure that level will exist again, maybe double that at a minimum

I remember looking at buying a 996 GT3 when they were around £30,000 and decided against it
