(Agreed)

Drove a 996TT with front axle disconnected. Super fun.

The rest was still weird, but fun.

I guarantee we will see it listed somewhere else for $30-35k more.

Seriously… As usual I discover it with a sale pending.

One would have to feel guilty putting miles on it now with such low miles. I am certain it needs a small bag of cash thrown at it to hit the reset button on maintenance.

Very striking color combo on this one. I don’t love grey cars but the Terra cotta interior sets it off.

All things said this seems like a good deal with only 25k on the clock if you want a cab.

Yes, very much so. FYI, generally 997.2 cabs sell for $10-15k less than a coupe of the same variant.

Edit: This 911 increased $18k in the last hour per the email I received from BaT.

Was that price good? Or high?

71k

I hadn’t seen this ad in a while (and never realized it was Kristen Stewart), but now being in the targeted demo I have to say I am in awe of how well crafted it is.
