What am I not seeing? No bids?
Saw this car yesterday and there are no bids. What am I missing? Video points out all the minor imperfections. Miles seem right. Price is ok? What's wrong with this car?

Maybe buyers are contacting him directly with offers over $14K as he solicited.

Its a 996 with an auto, ugly chrome rims and a bad upholstery job.

How could this car not be worth more than $11,000? The guy seems like a straight shooter, although he thinks paint chips can be "compounded out." He mentioned that a dealer privately confirmed the IMS bearing and water pump was done. Should be easy enough to have another dealer confirm that. I'm sure the seller is getting some action at $14,000 and above.
How much is one of these worth in a better color? The mileage is nice and low. The chrome wheels can't be a big deal to replace.

The vehicle has been reported as used as a fleet, rental, and/or lease vehicle. 7 different owners.

Tiptronic cabs are the cheapest 996's. The trophy wives have moved on.

If I had $11K burning a hole in wallet I would be tempted... wheel are an easy change out. However I have vowed that my next sports car will have a stick and probably a hard top. I was fantasy surfing autotrader yesterday (Porsche=under $15,000) and was turning my nose up at the tips, also interesting what you can get for $11K

That thing is an aborted fetus. 99 car with a 02-05 front clip and just horrible panel gaps.

Good catch, I didn't notice that it was a 1999. That car probably has some stories....
