To me the true test of how great a car is how the owner feels about the car years after purchase. Well my 981 BS is over eight years old, and I enjoy driving it as much today as I did eight years...

Agree. I have a 2013 981 BS with a manual, PSE, and a few other options. I was offered an insane price for it in June, about 20% less than I paid for it, and I was tempted to sell but what would I...

I always go to sites like Carvana to determine the wholesale value of my car. For a private sale I'd ask 110% of wholesale and dealers will typically ask 120% of wholesale.

Of course you would think that the GT4 would retain its value, but the 5 owners may be a concern when you sell. Looking into my crystal ball I'd still say that the GT4 will be the winner.

In my area low mileage, late model 911s are listed at the original MSRP and 992s are listed over original MSRP.
There's a low mileage 2020 GT4 for sale at a dealer near me for $140K. Dealers...

Your question may be a moot point since I can't find any 987.2s in the US. I saw several 981s but the least expensive was $50K. There's a used 2020 GT4 near me for $140K which is no doubt over the...

A multi-tasking error on my part. :)

To the OP, in terms of the 85K miles it wouldn't concern me as long as the car is priced appropriately.

So you are still in the market? When I saw that this thread is a year old, I was hoping for your sake that you bought a car last year.
If you find a good buy today, jump at it.

It's always the buyer and not the seller which sets the price for any commodity. So your problem is really with the buyer and not the flipper.
