2004 Porsche Bosxter S 550 Spyder Anniversary Edition

I think the seller got a great price for his 986. I'm surprised it sold for so much given you can get a 996.2 for that much and a low mile 996.1 for that price. It is the best 986 though and looks like a great car.

Actually, it didn't sell. The $21K offer didn't meet the reserve. They had a "buy it now" of $26.5K

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
