These auctions only get going 20 mins before end, this will hit low to mid 30’s inc fees, iand then CC will ring up and put pressure on seller to make it No Reserve… think they changed the rules that if you bid early, they reserve their fee off your card and only give it back to you when auction actually ends in 7 days, so people just wait to the end I would imagine. Nice car but wrong gearbox for the R.

The end time keeps moving on CC so if people are bidding late the end time extends over and over until no more bids

Blimey, they can't be happy with that outcome surely?

54k miles
PDK
Potentially divisive colour
Some paintwork previously
No PSE
Good service history
£35 grand is about right I recon.

I thought that looked a very nice useable car ... but some mods (for the better) also affected the price.

For context, in 2015 I sold my 32000 mile Cayman R ... Peridot / PCCB / many track days but over-serviced / original paint but requiring a little tidying, for £32k.

Porsche related information......

Boxengasse tickets have gone live.

https://www.boxengasse.com/megaphonics

It's a 2 day event now and revised traffic management so hopefully no mile queue on entry.

I guess so then having seen this listed today. Same price (give or take) but higher miles.

That's retail .... but Mike is usually very realistic with his prices on the majority of his adverts.
He doesn't usually have them hanging around.

Curious that they didn't have time to photograph it, but did have time to do a drawing of it....

It's only a few pages back these were being talked about as overlapping 981 GT4 in price and loads at £45k, have they had their day in the sun or are they truly that spec/mileage dependant?

Why would you draw a picture of a car with a spike sticking out of its roof ?

I guess this is AI "intelligence" ??

I think it is economy related as discretionary spending in general is down

Flashy cars
Flashy watches
Holiday homes / 2nd homes

All suffering

How did your mate get on with the gt3 and 986 race car?

More likely a filtered image (which takes about three seconds to do) of a similar car they had previously photographed (and the source image had that detail on the wall behind) as a placeholder until they took images.

Car sold so taking actual pics not required!
