Wow, what a nice low mileage G50 unicorn!
Anyone have a final bid prediction?

Boring exterior color along with white interior isn't doing it any favors. $50-55k only because of the low mileage?

That exterior color is about a million times better than the puke, pizz, shart, skin tones, shrubery, and Skittles/My Little Pony varieties that some forum members have a thangy thang for. In fact, I bet the idea that "black, white, red, gray, silver, etc. are colors that hurt value" is a myth perpetuated by the vocal few who prefer the PPSStSSMLP; I've seen no evidence that backs up those claims.

What's not to like? Looks great to me, similar mileage and condition to my 944. This would've been 75+ at the height of the market couple years back. Now maybe it's a smart buy.

I think red is the only color that will turn away an otherwise serious buyer.
Interior color is even less relevant.

^^^ I think this is pretty much right on. Meteor Gray was very popular on these Carreras, so don't discount the possibility it's highly desirable to someone. The white (Linen?) interior is going to lose it some fans. For anyone not obsessing about carrying around their CoA, swapping to black interior isn't going to cost that much, and will boost the crowd-pleasing factor.

I would want to see some evidence the reported mileage is accurate.

Seller ended early and got $55k for the car.

Red is still very attractive to a lot of folks. The earth tone phenomenon is a product of global warming.

What do you guys think of this weird mileage situation?

Seller (not me) states "Engine and transaxle rebuilt approximately 10 years, 18k miles ago. Speedometer was replaced at 100k miles when engine/transaxle were refreshed. Odometer is working and shows 18,581 miles, actual miles are approx 118,500" Was there a VIN record discrepancy noticed, otherwise my apologies not noting the anomaly?

I'd have changed those spark plug wires before listing this
