Wow. And the car wasn't even physically present.

My friend was at the auction selling a car there and was next to the guy who bot it. He is a 20 year old from Dubai who also has a home in Miami and is obviously from a rich family and who knows in Dubai maybe he can drive that car around with no issues.

This will not impact 993 prices or sales, especially approaching winter. This car, the sale, the buyer, are all aberrations, more telling about Porsche to begin the process and pander Classic, and the rich young jerk who bought.

Listening to chatter around the car during the preview on Friday, I took away that the car has several scheduled events/showings upcoming and that a qualified bidder would have been aware of these and accept those terms.

The car was loaded on a plane for Germany either Friday night or Saturday morning- it was back at the factory before crossing the block (in absentia). Buyer is responsible for transport from there to wherever he wants it to live and associated import fees......

Obviously this is a one off situation. Not sure why you’re disparaging the buyer. He could have bought 99% of any collector car in the market, including far glitzier Ferrari’s, Lambos, etc. Instead he purchased an old school “not very fast” classic of which the majority of the proceeds will go to charity.
Funny how as capitalists and free market people we love the system when it works for us, but bad mouth it when the system and supply/demand works for others. So the guy is twenty and maybe worth a billion dollars? Yeah it’s family money - but at twenty if I had had the choice of an inheritance like that or working my tail off for the next thirty years.......
