If the bidding doesn't go too high this would be a good get.
Hmm, yes worth following. I'm personally focused on a 997.2 or early 991, but this certainly checks a lot of boxes. Like you, I'm not a huge fan of black on black but it's inoffensive.

Living in the hot south, I can never again consider a black car.

It might, yeah--but this is a 50K+ car all day long.

Just curious of your thoughts ...

“Nearly 3k of the 36k miles were added by the seller during the past six months”

I notice a lot of cars on this site have similar lines to this ... it seems a lot of cars on this site are from people buying them and then selling them shortly afterwards.

Kinda makes me think it’s either dealers who want to make a quick buck or people that buy the car and for whatever reason want to get rid of it

I’ve noticed that, too, and am also interested in the answer.

Yes - 50-55K seems about right.

That's really cool. I'm out of the 911 market for the time being, but maybe some day...
