How the Mighty Have Fallen: 30-Mile Porsche 911 R Estimated to Take Measly $375,000 at Auction
How the Mighty Have Fallen: 30-Mile Porsche 911 R Estimated to Take Measly $375,000 at Auction-October 2024

Do you remember the ? The first one on sale in the U.S. was in late 2016. It didn’t take long for secondhand 911 Rs to start . But now, just a couple of years later, the 911 R is estimated to go for the dirt-cheap cost of just $375,000 at auction.

This specific 911 R is number 749 of the 991 produced by Porsche, and one of 296 cars sent to the U.S. It was delivered to a California dealer in 2016, where it spent most of its time wasting away, presumably just a showroom trophy collecting dust, save for a few dozen miles. Days, weeks, months passed, and down went its value.

And now it’s going to be wheeled out in front of a jeering, jaded crowd, overexposed to its incredible performance and standout looks, shrugged off to the highest bidder at estimates ranging from just $325,000 to $375,000 at the auction in Monterey later this month.

This green stripe over black, factory-condition faded icon doesn’t deserve this. And now somebody won’t treat it with the same respect as whoever paid closer to a million for theirs. It’s too bad.

That is until prices shoot right back up in however many years and the lucky bidder manages a massive profit.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
