The Porsche sold today for ~300 Bitcoins! If this isn't proof that Bitcoin is a legitimate currency, then I don't know what is. The buyer purchased his initial Bitcoin investment at around $4 a piece so they got an amazing deal. I'm not sure if this is the single largest item sold for BTC, but I can guarantee it's the first $40,000 vehicle sold for ~300 BTC. The buyer wishes to remain anonymous, but I've asked a bitpay representative to come and post in this thread to confirm the transaction occurred.

Unless you guess want to keep this private, I would record the handing over of the keys and post it for the world to see.

This will be huge.
Congrats CB - hope BTC doubles for ya. Wait until the media runs with this....
Nice!
Yes, the transaction is occurring this evening and assuming the deal does not fall through I'll mark the item as sold.
I'm thinking this should be big news for bitcoin, I'll post on reddit after the sale, something along the lines of "Porsche Cayman S sold for 3xx BTC". Anyone have any ideas on which news organizations to submit to? I recently noticed a man putting his shanty up for BTC in Canada making the rounds, surely this is more interesting?!
Second that. It's crazy to think nobody bought it before now. The seller was smart to challenge buyers with a switch to a fixed-BTC price tomorrow.
In the long run, Bitcoin needs more sellers to switch to a fixed-BTC price instead of an exchange rate. It strengthens the value of Bitcoin.

Sold! I'll post an update soon.
For Bitcoins??
Sold! I'll post an update soon.
This is very interesting. Buying a car for bitcoins.
He's just trying to light a fire under someone's arse. Good on ya.
355 BTC right now. Pretty amazing, but it seems all potential buyers are waiting indefinitely for a higher exchange rate. Today is the last day to purchase at market rate, I'll be moving to a static pricing model tomorrow morning. Barring a dramatic shift in value, tomorrow's BTC price will be 400 BTC.
Are you expecting BTC value to drop then? Or just not interested in selling for BTC anymore?

wow, only 376 BTC, someone's gonna take it soon
I've added a picture of the vehicle cover included with sale. There are currently 3 buyers interested in picking up the car soon. All are waiting for BTC to hit a certain price before they pull the trigger. I will be selling to the first buyer that can make it down to Austin who's willing to pay the current BTC market value.
Automatic?
The last thing I need is a porsche, but I'll bid 235 coins. If anyone wants to step in front of me, please do.
If it gets close, I'll put up 20 coins in earnest money, and you can do the same to complete the deal. As long as the title is clear and there isn't a raccoon living in the backseat, I'll find a way to get it home.
Automatic with TIPS control. Pristine condition, low miles, multiple upgrades, clean title, no vermin calling it home.
I like the license plate idea, please don't put a sticker on this car!
LOL that was my thought as well. Whoever puts a bumper sticker on this car deserves to be shot. Not everyone has the option for such a number plate...over here, the sticker is more or less the only option...
