Bargain Exotics

The market still seems to be rather soft for high end sports case, especially late models. Today we’ve got a gorgeous looking 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo (997). It’s only got 33,605 miles on it and is a one owner California car bought new at Beverly Hills Porsche. A great looking car that appears to be in near new condition.

Here is some info from the auction description:

Clean Carfax. Non Smoker. There is NO paintwork. In unbelievable “like new” condition. NOT a single crease in the seat bolsters. There is not a single scratch on the paint or leather. This Turbo looks, drives, smells, and fells like a brand new Turbo.

Current auction price is $25,100 with about 3 days left. Not sure what the reserve price is, but could prove to be a heck of a bargain, especially if the seller is at all motivated. This car is hitting it’s third year of depreciation and will have lost 30% to 40% of it’s value from the original purchase price.

I don’t have a lot of details on this one, but this would be a great great classic car. It’s a 1965 Porsche 912. The listing says 24k miles, but I would be it’s way more than that. Especially once you read the description. This could easily be a decent daily driver or weekend car. You wouldn’t even have to go through the work of fixing it up perfectly. Just maintain it and enjoy it.

Here’s what limited info was included in the listing:

The body is rust free, yet carries a C-grade ‘Bahama Yellow’ paint job that’s many years old. There are multiple flaws, such as small dings, scratches, and even some paint lifting. Still, the car is utterly presentable as it is; personally, we wouldn’t mind keeping and enjoying it exactly like this.
The chrome wheels still sparkle and the tires are excellent.

This is going for $3,900/obo. Listed on multiple places including Oodle.com. A lot of car for the money in my opinion.

I’ve always loved these older Porsche 911 Turbos. They’re brutally fast cars with lots of character. Some people hate how they drive with turbo lag and a tail happy personality, but I think it’s the essence of the 70′s and 80′s Porsche 911.

This is a 1983 Porsche 911 Turbo up for auction on eBay. It’s got no reserve on it and is currently at just under $9000. That’s a heck of a car for under ten grand.

Sounds pretty clean with only 35k miles on it. Silver with black interior. It is a gray market car, but as long as it was federalized properly, that shouldn’t pose any issues.
