I was cruising through ebay and this baby caught my eye. The speed yelllow looks stunning against those wheels and brakes. Decked out with the options to have too. I bet Brandywine would knock a couple more grand off if you asked nicely . I'm sure they want to move that thing pretty badly.

I put it on my watchlist - just curious to see how it turns out. My guess would be no one matches their reserve.
Nice car, and I kinda like yellow.

2001 2.7 Speed Yellow

Pretty car! The BIN price is to high.

Very very few Porsches sell on EBAY.

Kelley Blue Book
Retail $46,000 or so, depending on options.

NADA:
Retail $44,100 - maybe higher with options
Wholesale $41,200

Strategy - bid $40,000 to make your presence known. Reserve will probably not be met. Call and negotiate around $44-45,000 after the auction ends. What a heck of a nice car for that price. If they take it to auction they're looking at less than $44.

Are you telling me KBB thinks a 250 mile never titled Box S is only worth 46k? Maybe a stripper yah, but did you see the options on that thing. Lits,wheels, painted bars and tunnel, sport seats(i wish I had sport seats!) just to name a few. That thing had to have a sticker over 60k easy. Must be a bad time to be a seller

The most recent 04 S models to go through the lane on Manheim were in late September in West Palm. $39,500 for a 1,700 mile car (6spd) and $41,500 for a 2,600 mile car (tip).

03's are doing in the $33's with 18K miles...

I don't care what year a car is as long as the price is consistent with the Depreciation. Titled, MSO...It doesn't matter!!! In many cases you are better off buying a current model year car instead of the left over depending on how stuff is priced and how bad they get whacked for a model year.

I think you mean few new Porsches sell there.
older 911's, 928's,944's,914 sell all the time.
Ebay does well with older cars their share of the used car online sales
in general is insane.

But I think Brandwine set the BIN price high to rain in some leads. That's how
I found my Boxster. After a price negotiation we relisted the car and and I did the purchase in the showroom on a laptop.

Speed Yellow was my second choice after silver/red. Except those painted side intakes, looks kind of cheap.
