I'm sure the newbie forum "experts" will now weigh in about how the buyer is a complete a......hole for paying this much.



Just sayin'.............

Hang on there, pal.....
Look below at the description provided us in the original post: Not a single mention of this thing being "pristine".. ... or perfect. All of the description, and even the very title of the thread, was about how ultra-rare it is, and how it's 1 of 1. Hell, he never even mentioned the mileage!

Now read the description in his listing on bat:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-porsche-boxster-s-22/

Not a single mention of "1 of 1" or ultra-rare. Rather the seller focused on incredibly well- maintained, complete, low mileage, etc.

So I ask you: same car? How would we know from either description?

Yeah.... i'll give you that I was expressly "cheapening" the car.... because I get weary of all y'all who want it to be something it's not. But I watched one just SIT, forever, on the market in utah that looked every bit as nice as this one, and asking price was $8500. I should've bought it, then listed it on BAT, I guess.

As to the buyer? Nah.... I'd never call somebody a name for overpaying for a car because he fell in love and made an impulse-purchase. I've done it a dozen times. Nor have I regretted those purchases, because.... well.... I was in love.

So.... whatever dog you had in this fight, I guess he'll have to eat elsewhere.

Your car is a really nice one. It doesn't have to be super rare in order for you to enjoy it and even love it. If you want to tell people it's super rare, it's okay with me.

Everyone has an opinion, usually worth exactly what you pay for it!

Well kept 2002S, well optioned, best color, IMS/RMS/clutch done, low miles. Price seemed about right to me, although I would not sell mine for that.
