Even though this is the only 986 that could even remotely be considered a "collector car", it doesn't carry the interest of people as a mid-$20sK car. It's a nice car, but not perfect.

I think $21k is as high as they are going to see.
I tend to agree.
It is not perfect and has a little minor road wear, a small ding and some seat wear
looks like 2008 tires, so they are a little aged and should be replaced
It is a really nice car with full documentation, but it still is not a $25k car
The emotional value to the seller has no value to the buyer
@ $22k the sell would be doing well for that car
If it was showroom perfect, and a collector, still a stretch @ $25k

sorry, but IMHO, I am probably spot on
