It's not a 15k mileage.

They spent 15k - the car is good as new mechanically but for the clutch.

Replace the clutch later - wear it out and then address it.

These cars are 10 years old.

20 - 30k bills vs depreciation and driving enjoyment sounds more than fair.

ok, I just contacted. engine out 30k service. clutch at 29mm which is 35% left. not sure why they didn't replace clutch while engine was out. There is a deal pending I was told

16,000.00 clutch with 35% = 5600.00 of CGT fun.

The engine out with service is 4k.

One owners don't last long.

Who does engine out for 4k? I just had it done by a reputable dealer as major service and it's far more labor than that ... Didn't change clutch (30mm).

I was quoted from a dealer - 16k clutch 4k engine out service on a 3500 mile car but that's because it seemed to be under serviced.

Prices likely vary on dealer location / shop rates or one part of the job offsets the price of the other.

A shop rate of 125.00 and 30 est. hours to remove and reset the engine with some minor service seems reasonable. That being said I have a lot to learn about Porsche CGT maintenance.

How many miles did you pull the engine at?

There's a silver over terra cotta with 24k miles on it selling for $350k

Yes, it seems to me that the prices on the real cars "That Matter" are for sure rising in valuation. Its like watching the stock market or some index. If you follow the valiations on Hagerty's website - the cars that matter the values are rising. The Entire Market is for sure going up. Some more than others. For example the McLaren F1 had way more than doubled in price the past couple of years. While during the past 6 to 3 month folks with money are for sure putting their money into THE Collector type cars.

Yup, and a Clutch Job on a CGT can run around $25,000. That and the CGT is notoriously known as one of the toughest Clutches to get used too!

I thought about stretching for that car, but in the end most buyers of these type of cars want under 10k mileage. In the end I am going to buy a 4k mile ford gt for $250k.

I ended up buying a 2013 458 Spider for $325K instead of a CGT. I am very happy with the 458 Spider but will consider adding the CGT in the near future.

FWIW my neighbor with the 05 2000 mile CGT still has his (he was going to sell it). He wanted $375K a year ago. By the time I agreed he wanted $400k. Someone recently offered him $400K and now he wants $425K. His is a pristine, one owner collector car.

There are all sorts of prices but right now you can get a:
15,000- 25,000 mile+ car for $330K
6,000-10,000 mile car for $375K
3000-5000 mile car for $400,000
<3,000 mile collector car for $425,000

There is a 4500 mile CGT on eBay asking $545k

Prestige Imports. Notorious for high initial asking prices.

Greed. It's very unattractive.

But, s'cool. It's his car. He can do whatever he wants with it, and wait around as long as he can / wants for the right sucker to come around.

Cars in NY are over $500K and trading.

nuvolari612

Kyle - mind sending me his contact info unless it's a Silver CGT with black wheels cf steering and shifter been there done that and the asking is now 499k.

nuvolari612

F40 wasn't worth 250k now 1,250K

Ford wasnt't worth 150k - now 275k

Dino 125k - now 425k

An F1 just sold for 8 digits.

The CGT is worth every penny of an F50 at 1.5m.

For some reason the CGT has lagged but it seems times are changing.
