CC as a format not as a company.
Seller can ignore questions
And description not completely accurate

Not paddle shift and definitely not “ evidently been well cared-for by its owner of the last 11 years”
CC’s words.

And no one has to buy.

[Mintbird]

CC is a car auction. there will be good cars there. and bad.
it all depends on the owner.

Japanese car auctions are no different.

Ignore all the advertising, premium adds etc.

Its a car auction, end of.

Buy at your own peril - and for gods sake dont bid too high.

And don’t drink alcohol close to the auction ending

And don't be drinking wine on a nice holiday when bidding... ask me how I know!! To be clear, bought a Caterham on CC, was exactly as described and am very happy with it. Well I will be once it emerges from last winter's winter project at the end of this winter!

Did anyone see what the last bid was on the new 992 4GTS Cab, that had only done 40 miles?

[MrC986]

So the black 997 currently needs IMO a major service including belts and plugs, all new fluids, new tyres and whatever else was highlighted in the recent MOT - that's a fair chunk of coin, even at a specialist. With the gaps in the SH it isn't ever going to be collectable I reckon.

Last time I looked it was up at £116k plus change with a couple of hours to go - I am guessing £125k

There is a new C4S on the Porsche website at £124k so I would have thought (I am no car dealer just someone who likes to loose money on all the cars I buy...) the 4GTS cab would get an under retail trade bid

For the first time was offered a cancelled order for 992C2s last week (not my favourite colour or interior) with delivery in Jan so my assumption is that speculators are pulling out

There could be a glut of unregistered cars next year, mass produced cars as an investment was never going to end well at some point, that point looks like now.

Surely some of these speculators are interested in having the car even if the game has changed, or were they all just trying to make money?

[ChrisW.]

If on finance, the cost of ownership has changed very significantly .... due to higher interest costs and lower residuals on a PCP ...

Not so sure. by the time commission is added its not that far off this which is newer, better spec and far less miles.

Been keeping my eye on 964s on CC and was looking at this one. Guessing the vendor pulled it at the last minute? I checked with around 30min to go and was about 80k..

I think it would also need about 3k-4k spending on it too, tyres, mot points addressed and the big 12 year service, plus it hadn't have a service for 8 years, seemed very strong money.

[Geneve]

If it went above £80k then that would seem expensive in the current market, IMO.

A demanding market would expect an exemplary service history ( ideally FPSH) no faults, and immaculate condition to complement that mileage.

Also, must be one of the earliest 964C2s - I had one of the first in the UK and it was delivered March 1990.

He wanted £100 AFAIR, delusional IMO. If he'd owned it virtually from new he'd had made a few quid.
