nice but a crazy price.

 

damn..........

 

I saw that yesterday when it was at $216K, now it's at $232 and the reserve still isn't met!!!!

Wonder how much it will go for???

 

not that crazy of a price. The car stickers for 205k, and the dealers are asking 50k over.

 

sells to "worldwide"

wonder where it will go.

 

It has the wrong seats!

 

How bad can that price be? I paid 200K C$ for my 996TT in 2002. Our dollar has appreciated >60% vs. US dollar since then. THUS, that car looks relatively cheap to what I paid for mine.

 

My freight forwarder told me he just exported 9 997TTs, 7 9974S, 3 (targas), 2 997TT Cabs and a bunch of other Porsches back to Germany and Spain. He says he has 2 GT2s on order among others to send back. What gives ? Euro exchange rate ?

 

thats not a GT2! Not with navi and traction control... oh wait... crazy! lol

 

I was at a gathering this weekend and one gentleman transported Mercedes, he said the same thing is happening to SLRs and Black Series. They come from Germany, spend a few days at the dealer and then are sold online to be sent back to Germany, gotta be an exchange rate deal.

 

yah, a lot of europeans are buying cars here and shipping them back. They're getting about 20% more for there money than they were a year ago. Hence the recent price jump on the CGT as well.

 

That is where the remaining CGT's went as well.

Cars, property, major positions in publicly traded securities (Citi), didn't someone from the middle east buy an entire US port?

The USA is on sale! Cheap! Not too dissimilar to the Canadian experience of 1992 - 2002 when the Loonie gradually deteriorated from $0.90/U$ - $0.63/U$. Now, with the C$ at ~ par, we Canadian have 60% more purchasing power in the US than just a few years ago. The Europeans have ~ 90% greater purchasing power in the US vs 1991 exchange rates. At some point, I hope this stimulates US exports to the point where economic re-acceleration occurs, adding back some stability to the global economic situation.
