I've seen a few SE tips recently. I can't find any production or import numbers for the tip equipped SEs. They missed out on the 'shorter throw shifter' for sure

$9000 for a '97 that needs parts, including a "control module"? But it is the extremely rare 5 cylinder engine...

Yeah, I don’t think it has hit the reserve yet either but it depends on how motivated the seller may be. Last couple of minutes of the auction should be interesting.

The 550SE tip bid to $23,800 with five or six active bidders but it did not meet the reserve so ‘no sale’.

I just thought I'd start the thread and see where it goes. I'm intending for it to stay Porsche related, but I'm nobody's boss. :dance:
It also may do best to clip a screenshot rather than post a link, due to the transient nature of the posts.
Here's what amused me tonight, a "Porshe Boxer" headlight and a Porsche 917 ('73 VW):

This is an awesome thread! That kit car is hilariously painful to look at.

I can't tell if y'all are being sarcastically-obtuse, or if you really don't know what the seller meant?
He's talking about a 2L Boxer motor. Which, to everyone else, is a jugged, air-cooled VW motor. But he doesn't want to say it in a way that makes people think "this is another kit car on a VW pan..." (which it is, of course)
That paint job was $10k? He got ripped-off.
Seriously..... ugliest car I've seen in quite some time. His comment about it winning "best of show" in "every show it went to" is probably another purposely misleading statement..... i.d like to ask how many he went to..... hahaha

I see it comes w/ plenty of free swirls as opposed to swirl free paint.
Wow - not only did he get the trophy he also got the girl...
The sticker  Good thing he featured prominently in ad; will help eliminate a fair number of buy candidates whose 'better half" will be well short of enthusiastic while looking at this fine specimen.
Other than that it should sell quickly - GLWS

Here's the Deal of the Century: a 2003 S, asking $29,500
The mileage is super low, perhaps too low, but $29,500?? Plus, it's in Hawaii, which means another $2,000+ to ship it to the mainland.
If he doesn't lower his price, he's going to be waiting until the year 29,500 before he sells that.

I've heard these sort of ads called "ego listings". Their good for the sellers ego, but don't reflect reality.
