See that often. $997, $991, and etc. The first bid was canceled @ $125k.

Gotcha… Porsche really has a strange timeline for the 991. From my understanding though the Carrera and Carrera S dot two arrived in 2015, ‘16 MY?

$108k and reserve not met it’s a 2015 991.1 with 27k miles … I don’t think you can get better then BAT money, not sure what the owner is thinking.

That green one went for $39K. Well bought I think. If I wasn't in the process of a 6 month gut renovation I'd have thought about it.

Yeah - that is less than I expected as well, but... that green is a color that takes the right buyer to want. I would not be that person... but still... Nice car otherwise...

I've never heard of this procedure but it sounds painful.

Do you basically eat at Taco Bell for 6 months straight?

The E9x M3 was fun but it isn’t worth whatever EAG is charging for that one.
