I had a guy in my office, he sees a 911 slot car stuck to my file cabinet, and asks if I'm a Porsche guy. "Yes" I reply, "kind of a sickness really".
He tells me he has an older 911 (doesn't say what), so I tell him not to sell whatever he has without calling me first.
Fast Forward, he actually calls and invites me to come see it, maybe selling.
Drive to a waterfront Victorian house, he meets me in the drive, and fiddles with the garage door opener.
I anxiously await the reveal, seeing the possibility of an addition to my pile. As the slowest rising door opens, I see too wide a tire to be vey old, then the rest presents.
He has a dusty, old (to him at least) 96 993 Twin Turbo with 46k miles on it.
Uhhh...I can't afford this. Elation replaced with despair.
Nice car, silver blue with gray interior.
Someone told him $189k is the number, I think in 2015. Sat at that price for 2 years.
Seems to me like all P cars have cooled. Now he has asked me to sell it for him, and think a more real number is prudent.
Thoughts or recent comps? Are these being exported? It seems like that market has mostly gone away.
Car is completely stock, except the calipers that are silver (my Porsche nut daughter thinks the original owner must have watched the Top Gear episode covering people with red calipers, and had them refinished!)
