Hello. I’m Otto M. Asian. Welcome to the Weekly BAT Watcher All Marque Edition for July 29 2023.

We start with a 2009 Porsche, Turbo Coupe. With 31,000 miles, according to the listing.

Manual Transmission, In Atlas Grey, with Black Full Leather interior.

There are 7,633, 997.1 Turbo, in the SC Sage database. Of these 5,166 are coupe. Of these coupe, 3,343 are manual transmission.

The average market price for this model is $99,317, with 43,412 miles. This is for all transmissions combined.

Looking at the SC Sage Market Value app, for manual transmission only. The average market price for this model in Turbo Coupe is $119,966, with 39,176 miles.

The current market inventory for manual Turbo coupe, is 37 units.

This specific example has been logged on SC Sage beginning in August 2022, priced at $145,000. With the same mileage as today.

The car has been at the same dealer since then, and was most recently priced at $132,000. Again with the same mileage as today.

The dealer has chased the price down for the past year, and has now put it on BAT.

Looking at the Autocheck report, the vehicle has no reported accidents and 4 owners.

We can guess that this car will not sell here for anywhere near close to what the selling dealer has seemingly, been hoping to achieve.

We now have a Ferrari 488, GTB. 2018 model year. In Grigio Titanio, and Nero leather. It has 9,000 miles according to the listing.

There are 1,249, 488 GTB. In the SC Sage database. In this coupe model, only 25 are in this exterior color.

On the market are 122 units. Close to the 10% threshold, where we consider the market to be oversaturated.

The average market price for this model in coupe is $263,448, with 12,580 miles.

This example has made a frequent appearance in the SC Sage database. Last priced in November 2022 at $274,999, with 8,635 miles, .

Looking at the Autocheck report, this vehicle has no reported accidents and 3 owners. Most recently with Texas registration.

This example does have less than average miles. However, the market has too many cars for sale at the moment, to give this one much hope to achieve anything over the average market price.

In fact, looking at the SC Sage Inventory app, there are 5 of the 25, Grigio Titanio, currently on the market. And their average mileage is less than this one. They should be given a look.

Offered up is a Porsche 991.1 Turbo coupe. A 2015 model with 14,000 miles. P D K transmission. Black with Black leather interior.

There are 1,176, 991.1. Turbo coupe. In the SC Sage database.

There are 49 of these models on the market today.

The average market price for the coupe is $120,095, with 30,015 miles.

That would make this example quite low mileage.

In the SC Sage database, this example was seen in February 2020, priced at $119,950, with 9,396 miles.

Looking at the Autocheck report, the vehicle has no reported accidents and 4 owners.

We can see from the SC Sage Market Price timeline chart, that prices for this model, have fallen steadily over the past 12 months.

This car should sell here. But unfortunately for the seller, for something less than a premium over average market.

Offered up is a McLaren 675LT. 2016 coupe. With 3,200 miles.

Outfitted in Silica White, with Carbon Black leather.

There are 259, 675LT, in the SC Sage database. 132 of these are coupe.

A scant 13 units are on offer today. However, this is a high percentage of the build.

The average price for this model is $300,309, with 6,068 miles.

This car has been continuously on offer, since November 2022, by McLaren Scottsdale. And since that time the offering price has moved very little. First, at a $279,900 offer.

Then raising to a $294,900 offer,

Then again, in May 2023, back down to a $279,789 offer.

Nobody was buying it. This car seems to have something that makes it undesirable to buyers.

If the seller lowers the price at this auction. Will anyone want it even then?

Looking at the SC Sage Market Price timeline chart, McLaren 6 75 prices have recovered a bit after quite a steep fall over the past 12 months. Probably due to a shrinking market inventory.

A buyer could grab this one here before prices climb further, And the seller may just want to let it go. And not take the risk that prices head back down.

We next have a Ferrari 458, 2013 Spider. In Rosso Corsa, with Nero leather. Carrying 3,900 miles.

There are 1,727 of Ferrari 458 spider in the SC Sage database. 76 units are currently on the market.

The average price for this cabriolet is $255,103, with 13,001 miles.

The Autocheck report shows 1 owner, no reported accidents.

This car is attractive in terms of low mileage and one owner. However, it has been on offer starting in January 2023. When we see it offered for $299,990, with 3,811 miles.

Looking at the SC Sage Market Price timeline chart, prices for the 4 58 have fallen substantially since that time.

Yet the seller of this car raised the price. It was offered at $309,000 just this month!

There is no reason to believe that this car will sell here. Unless the seller admits where the market really is, for this Ferrari 458.

Next we have a 2019 McLaren 570S spider. Carrying 11,000 miles.

Featured in Storm Grey, with Carbon Black Alcantara and Carbon Black leather.

There are 1,736 5 70 S, in the SC Sage database. 814 of these are spiders.

76 units are on offer today.

The average price for the spider is $178,102, with 13,629 miles.

This car was first seen in the SC Sage database in July 2021. Priced at $207,991, with 4,315 miles.

It has since been offered in June 2023 for $181,000 with 9,745 miles.

The seller has had the car on offer for around six months, with no takers.

Prices for this model are on a slow steady decline. So it might make sense to leave it here.

If the seller can get accept below the market average price, maybe the seller can move it along.

We conclude with a No Reserve, Porsche 991.2, Turbo S Exclusive. 2019 cabriolet. In the common spec Golden Yellow, with Black leather. It has 187 miles.

The average price for this cabriolet spider is $298,717, with 3,457 miles.

Ten cabriolet are on offer today. So examples are there to be bought.

Prices range from a high of $325,000, to a low of $284,980.

However, these models don’t move quickly. It’s a car that seems more a marketing exercise than its power kit would imply. And interest is somewhat limited.

This one is low miles. As most probably are.

Bottom line, these cars do not sell for much over MSRP. But the owner may have paid more than that to get it when new. Added dealer markup was rampant at that time, among Porsche dealers.

Making selling with no reserve a very interesting gambit.

We do know it will sell. Let’s see if it can achieve more than its $281,780 sticker price.
