last one sold went to 434K in July https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1973-porsche-9... maybe the bidder lost out and didnt want to F around with all the nonsesnse stepping up bids ...if that the percieved genuine worth. Makes sense and it will have a very heavy reserve on it anyway. likely around the 400
Rhd different market from lhd, usually think 50-100k more, rhd 997 4.0RS is also worth 100-150k more than lhd. the last lhd car at silverstone auctions was bid to £350k only.. no sale. also note the car is one of ICs inventory and being sold as ‘managed’ rather than trade/dealer.

It could simply be a case of the auction house or the seller bidding it up into the vicinity of the reserve. All auction houses do it and some like CarAndClassic explicitly tell you they do this in the detailed terms and conditions. If the reserve is say £450K there really is no point in a bidding war around 50K as it gets nobody anywhere.
For any car that does not reach its reserve the max bid tells you nothing about whether there is any demand for the car.
I guess it tells us the owner is too optimistic!For any car that does not reach its reserve the max bid tells you nothing about whether there is any demand for the car.

It struggled last time on the bidding be interesting to see when the reserve gets lifted.

My personal Porsche favourite, if only I bought the one offered to me by my OPC with blue stickers and 7k miles back in 2010 for 55k 🤦🏼♂️

Trying to spoof a buyer into thinking he’s only paying £5k more than the next buyer..?

Would have thought they’d pick up the books they dropped before photographing them https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2003-porsche-9...

Why are there so many 205 GTi's on CC? Do you think people buy them expecting them to be the best hot hatch in the world (as that's whats always written about them) only to be disappointed and sell on? I have never driven one but as a 'petrol head' they are a car I always think I may take a punt on one day but the shear amount being sold is a little disconcerting?

People are seeing the prices on there and are tempted into selling? There is 6500 205 GTi in the UK. They aren't rare and it shouldn't be a surprise to see good availability.

Surely that will go over £500k. My friend sold hers in Paris 570k euros a few years ago and that was a 2.7 rs touring, so I reckon a bit cheaper. The only advantage of her car was that it was only a 2 owners since new.Bispal said:

actually this is a touring that’s been half modified to have some lightweight bits.. so think it goes for less than a 2 owner original car. Last auction car was at Silverstone auctions that was bid to £350k? only. Didn’t meet reserve. These aren’t cars you buy at auctions due to the number of fakes copies clones rebodied cars out there.
it has been on the market for over 1y+ so think the auction is a last resort.
Still, you won’t buy a £400k car on eBay.. so why do it on Cc - not sure.
Maybe eBay needs to do a better job. They need to revamp their eBay motors section to do inflated descriptions.

They've been massively punted on social media recently by the likes of Chris Harris, Andrew Frankel etc and now that normal bloke who paid £2k a few years back has a 700% profit sat in his garage so now everyone's offloading in perhaps the peak of the market.MDMA . said:

Wow in the right mind buys a car of this value without having it inspected and certified.
CC in my opinion needs to be more transparent, if not they will get a bad reputation for bidding cars up and trying to offload sub standard trade sale cars as private sales.

The more cars I see on CC the more I think they all go for a much higher price than the open market elsewhere, which is odd. Great if your a seller, but if your a buyer - what’s the advantage?
The audi r8 is a good example of that, yes relatively low mileage, but this might end up near £40k which in my mind is extremely expensive for a 2007 car?

I see many examples of sales doing the same - odd.
