6500 mile 89 911 Made for BaT

[Macroni]

This car would break records on Bat.... 6500 miles and unusual color......


https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1989-porsche-911-carrera-1/




pcarmarket seems like a poor choice?

[1979-930]

Oh man that is nice.
I agree. But I think BAT may not have accepted the owners desired reserve.
PCAR probably agreed to a reserve that the car will never get to.

Didn't even think about that......

Very valid points...curious to see how the market (collector vs. driver) evolves over the next 5-10 years for these models.

My guess this goes for 190K. What do you guys think.

[robertmark]

110-120 If it hits 190k someone's eating laced brownies, imo

Perhaps the seller didn't specify "G50" enough times in their BAT submission? Anyway least they could have done is close the frunk properly for $120,000 plus...very nice car by all appearances, wonder where it's been hiding.

6k is true unicorn time capsule mileage.
$150k is my WAG

I want to punch someone every time I read "G50"

Here is another that I think would sell strong on BaT......

Nice, though on BAT these days, it's not the quality of the car, but the quality of the photos and videos that bring the bucks.

I like that one better. It’s partly because linen doesn’t do it for me and it’s partly that I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it 2-3k mi a year. The linen car would be a show car, and I don’t show.

What kind of person orders a beige car with beige interior?
It's so boring they couldn't even bring themselves to drive it.

Someone who drives in gloves and has a very very clean home?

Not for nothing, but I sent you a PM like 3 weeks ago.

Oops. I don’t have notifications turned on and forget to look. My bad.

Very high correlation. Spending $300 on a camera guy is a proxy for the kind of owner you want to buy from. Flippers excluded. Cheap miser don't spend on photos or maintenance. Common sense.

I agree the Mocha brown sc would probably do well on Bat. Possibly a good car for anyone looking for their first Porsche.

I love the color Linen on this 1989 Carrera. I saw a linen 964 years ago for 17 k. Years later the same car sold for over 60 k in minutes.

I can only guess the seller and BAT could not agree on a reserve. The next best place would be PCA?

This is the type of car a high end seller (Holt) would market for $60,000+.

My thoughts exactly. Pass the white bread.
