Market commentary
Sold by Gooding in Scottsdale last year for $82,500. That was a monumental price at the time for a 912, and while this result only a year later is still expensive, it's sign of Porsche-mania settling down. The Gooding bidders were probably keeping their powder dry in anticipation of the Jerry Seinfeld Porsches coming across the block an hour or so later. Sometimes it's good to be a buyer with the courage to stand up for your convictions and not wait for the star cars.
