SPOTLIGHT
PHOTO CREDIT BRING A TRAILER
What we have here is the highest price paid for a 964 Carrera 2 we've seen all year. Sure, a few low-mileage cars have hit $140k and one car even cracked the $160k mark. But this, this 29,000 mile 1993 911 Carrera 2 5sp sold for $185,964 yesterday, because it had all the right options, and lacked all the right options.
You see, our Spotlight car was a ROW (rest of the world) car originally sold out of Japan where you could get a 964 without a sunroof whereas that was not an option here in the US. And the right option this car does have? That would be the color. The 964 looks stunning in the iconic Maritime Blue which was a feature color of the 964 Carrera RS.
But does the lack of a sunroof and a nice shade of blue command such a value? Yes, RoW sunroof-less cars are rare, and Maritime Blue cars are rarer still. And a much more streetable 964 with all the looks of an RS is quite appealing. So appealing that I think if a similar car came up again in the near future, this price would not seem like a fluke.
To whoever imported this car into the US in 2016, well-sold. And buyer, you now have one hell of a car that might look well-bought in a few years as long as you keep the miles semi-reasonable and the car shiny side up.
NOTEWORTHY SALES
- A well-bought 356 Pre-A Speedster with a gorgeous Envy-Green interior sold for $330,000 on Bring a Trailer. Originally part of DriverSource's Oktmotorfest Collection, the car was re-run due to a dead-beat buyer apparently.
- Remember when delivery mile 2022 GT3s were all hitting $300,000? The seller of this Shark Blue example sure does. Unfortunately, he missed the boat on that run.
- Two years ago a low-mileage 997 Club Coupe was $70-80k. Today, you can double the mileage and add $20,000 like this 2006 911 Club Coupe that hammered down for $100,250.
NEW LISTINGS
- Great combo of Python Green over Black Sportech on this 2021 718 Boxster T. Plus we haven't seen many 718 T's of any type cross the online block recently.
- A no-sale for yesterday's 911 GT2 RS but maybe the Weissach package on this 2018 example will be enough to entice the bidders.
- We're suckers for rare shades of blues here at TSML, so this 2016 911 GT3 in PTS Voodoo Blue is right up our alley.
