Burn the heathen! 😁 I feel the same way about all silver, grey, and off white 911s. Zero interest, but I'd take one if there was nothing else.

I supposedly don’t like black cars but somehow have ended up specifying 4 of them brand new. Including the GT3. Its a bit hard when you don’t like silver or grey and predominately buy euro vehicles. The GT3 happened because I fortuitously saw a Miami car before my build locked and I was able to change the colour at the 11th hour. Mercedes is even worse than Porsche. You might have 10 colours to choose from, 7 of them silver/grey or white, one drab blue, a drab red, and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised it didn't even make the starting bid of $210k and was passed in. Is there something wrong with it? (besides being a undesirable colour!) OR has the GT3 market softened that much?

Yeah I checked it out myself and I couldn't see anything wrong with it, it's pretty damn clean. I guess it's either a softening market for them or for cars like these in general Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touring pack but no longer with the touring seats might’ve hurt it, bit of an odd one that. The 993S was off its head pricewise, same for the Merc560SL. Lucky sellers there I think.

What did the 993 c2s go for? …update I just saw $303k plus commission. Thanks. Totally in line with last 2 off market sales I heard about.

HMH98 Posted 17November, 2022 Report Share Posted 17November, 2022 Yep no bids, generally cars that pass in at auction are open to offers after the fact, not sure exactly what sort of money this person's after however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
