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-April 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.

This $31,900 Shelby-Dodge-Simca Mashup Goes Like Hell
The Dodge Omni was not an exciting car. Interesting, maybe, with its FWD arrangement imported from Chrysler’s Simca over in Europe, but certainly not exciting. That all changed when Shelby got their hands on the car and turned it into the GLH-S, and if you’re looking for a way...

At $20,000, Could This “Lightly Modded” 2007 Porsche Cayman S Get You To Lighten Your Wallet?
At $20,000, Could This “Lightly Modded” 2007 Porsche Cayman S Get You To Lighten Your Wallet?
Today’s Cayman comes with both some modest mods and all the original parts those replaced. Let’s see if it can overcome that “other people’s project” burden with perhaps a not so burdensome price. I’d like to point out that there really aren’t many bad engines offered these days. Modern...

What Do I Want For The Holidays This Year? You Really Didn't Have To Ask
What do I want for the holidays this year? Oh, you. You know you don’t have to get me anything. The only gift I need in life is your friendship. Yes, really! Why would you ever question that? You know better. Ugh, you know what, fine. If you’re going...

At $4,800, Could This 1997 BMW 318Ti Be A Good M-Sport?
Today’s 318Ti represents one of BMW’s most infamous mullets—E36 upfront and E30 in back. Let’s see if this M-sport spec’d car also comes with a hair-raising price. Have you ever watched one of those amazing episodes on car building? I find it fascinating to watch the ballet-like machinations of...

The Ford Mustang RTR Series 1 Makes 700 HP Liveable, And Everyone Loves It
Ford Mustangs have always blended into the grey for me. Even the really rare or crazy ones. Mach 1s, GT500s, EcoBoosts, or even the rental spec V6s; it doesn’t matter. As exotic as they try to be, they’re always part of the norm here in America. But that concept changed...
