Market softening

A client of mine just sold his car on BAT
It was a good honest,original car but WOW

BAT is the place to sell, suckers buying every day. Just because this sold at this price doesn't mean you cant go buy another comparable car any day of the week and only spend 60% of this. Congrats to the seller.

Isn’t that crazy? Makes me feel like I sold my car too soon.

No chassis pictures and just filthy. Good for him.

I was very surprised by the pics, super tight zooms and no real chassis shots. Stuff the bat dudes typically eat their young over. I can clearly see surface rust and I'm betting thats not the end of it. Hope the buyer is happy with this purchase

It's a good car the photos did it no justice not concours for sure and the owner made no claims that it was
Right place, right time I guess

wtf... I was searching for something special in the ad or pictures... can someone tell me what I missed?

Someone paid up for a EURO car with "low miles" being 38k. I take that mileage as a grain of salt as the speedo was swapped when federalized and the condition doesn't reflect what my expectations would be on a 911 with that mileage.? It does have the rare option of no front spoiler but has a rear Carrera tail. Anyway seller did amazing......

At least one person wanted it real bad.

Dan is the driver’s door out of adjustment or is it the photo?

In any case the car is sold now and hopefully the new owner enjoys what he or she has purchased. My issue was the seller stating there was no rust when it was clearly evident. Guess I'm one that puts more stock into someone being straight up when it comes to these type of issues. As far a mileage who knows what it really is, easy to disconnect, easy to roll back so I take every mileage I see with a grain of salt. Condition and records is where the value is for me when looking at a vehicle, only trumped by the old adage to "Buy the seller first"

[speednme1]

I don’t understand the whole low mileage obsession when in reality condition should dictate the market. Honestly I hope they start getting six figures..lol

The Car is a very nice never hit, rust free (excepting the clips on the ac lines) low mile( I think it's pretty accurate) Driver. The owner is not a 911"guy" he wanted to sell I told him to try BAT
It worked for him. Ironically he emailed me with a day left saying "I think this was a bad idea"

What's confusing is BAT calls the mileage TMU. Incidentally many of their auctions have been labeled the same. When in fact many of those cars may have accurate mileage. Nice to see it didn't deter the buyer.

Didn't even have to wash the car

[robertmark]

Wow, the new definition of insanity. So glad I bought my 89 speedster in 99, back when nobody gave a damn!!

[matt930s]

Just crazy; glad I got to try and buy many different 911’s, 912’s ,928’s etc when it wasn’t just insanity...

38k

[Kansas]

This a $50K car at best. What the hell is going on? Is this really the new normal? I'm hoping it's just a BAT "thing", because there is beyond insane. Even a concurs level '84 Carrera is going to be hard pressed to fetch $72K. This car is a mere step above mediocre. Enough said.

[pmax]

Rough for 38K IMO
