Are 997.1 GT3's selling?

[g7jhp]

Any reason why these Porsche 997.1 GT3's aren't selling (time of year)?

No.2 or No.4 look particularly nice.

No.1 Comfort: Black '07 41k miles £49k Crifords

No.2 Comfort: Grey '07 25k miles £54k Wentworth

No.3 Comfort: Black '07 34k miles £55k RPM

No.4 ClubSport: White '07 28k miles £55k SupercarRooms

Thoughts please?

Because track day season is over, always a number for sale this time of year, plus the usual bent ones that are always for sale.

Well I decided to sell mine this afternoon. It was gone within the hour! It seems clean cars without a story are selling very quickly and making strong money.

Thanks to the team at 911 Virgin

If you speak to the OPCs they are desperate for good 997 GT3s - I spoke to one of the guys in Leeds and he was tasked with looking for GT3s as they think the release of the 991 GT3 will support prices of 997s (it's usually the other way)

My '07, comfort spec with 13k miles, sold within a week recently for the thick end of £60k from an OPC - wish I had held out for a couple of grand more now.

Similar experience: sold my '07 11k miles CS/PCCB car for £59k privately within hours. Got north of 20 calls in the next two days so I suspect it had some room for a higher price, even privately.

As already mentioned there are buyers out there, I am one of them who has bought in the last month.

For me I wanted clubsport spec which do seem to sell much quicker, I also wanted the car from an OPC. 997.1 GT3's through an OPC are a difficult thing to find and when they pop up they sell very quickly indeed! My local OPC also said they wish they could lay their hands on them as they are in demand.

There are probably other potential purchasers out there like myself to whom £60k represents a huge sum of hard earnt money and for me I felt most comfortable parting with that money to an OPC. I've stretched myself in the purchase and have the peace of mind that the car has just been serviced, has new tyres and brakes and carries the 2 year warranty, in theory this means I ought not be spending any money on it (although that theory seems to be going out of the window already ).

Hi Rob. I'm off to the world of Caterham for a bit. GT3 is a trully fantastic car but to be honest after lots of use early in the year, now doesn't get enough to justify the annuals costs which would come next year. The first year has been almost free, but it can't last. A caterham at 8k however is a very different proposition I'll use it less, but probably enjoy it more. Hope all is well with you all

[rob.kellock]

Hope you find a nice one and enjoy it - our neighbour has a little Westfield but struggles to find time to use it much as there are too many times when he prefers using his rather lovely 3.2 Carrera.

Off to Oulton Park tomorrow with PCGB so fingers crossed the rain disappears! Otherwise all well thanks.

Interesting of the original lot above only No.1 at Cridfords is still hanging around.

Not much else around below £62k.

I thought there would have been a few more 997 GT3.1 hitting the classifieds.

I'd love a Cobolt Blue car.

No.1 with rear seats fitted would be an interesting alternative to a GTS :-)

Yes. I'd be happy with a Comfort model, would probably just add belts.

Certainly no need for scafolding which adds weight. But buckets and no scafolding would also be an option.

I wouldn't take black. Blue, white, yellow, grey or even silver, but not black as it's a pain to clean.

g7jhp i may sell mine if interested pm me.

Always someone with an active imagination. (Although I did have a Rubystone Red, think 964 RS).

Ideal, but unlikely would be Viper Green or Maritine Blue!
