At the time you could have bought all 3 Porsches for £65k . And it wasn't that long ago .

That's pretty identical to mine except mine's a clubsport (very little difference in the cars)
Having said that, you have the right seats and a comfort rear cage is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Personally, I would expect the price to start with a 6.... especially given the colour
All the recent 5... ones have sold in hours/days

They are just far too good once properly setup

That's a bit cheap I think. How long was it on sale for?
I suspect not too long...unless there were other factors.

i have been thinking about selling my GT3 and change to a 997 gen2 GT3...
it could be a silly idea tho.
i think i would use a 7 a lot more though hence the thoughts...
where are values now and where are they heading??
Good 996.2s are in the mid 50s and heading up. Remember that in UK spec they only outnumber the RS by roughly a little over 2:1 (unlike the rest of the world where the RS is a lower proportion) and decent RSs are now 6 figure cars. Your corresponding issue is that the 997.2s are now in the 80s and some are known to have sold in the 90s (low mileage or interesting colours), so your cost to switch is an appreciable chunk of cash. The gap between them seems to be fairly constant though, and there is no reason to expect a seasonal dip this year (there wasn't last year).

Almost certain it was £49,995.......it sold in less than 24 hrs I think. So confirms well priced.

You say 'well priced', I say 'under priced' smile

All the recent 6GT3s that have been priced in the fifties have sold in days....so imv all underpriced.
Apart from the yellow mk1 at £58k which was the first one and took a couple of weeks or so.

I was offered (cursory glance of my car) £38k for my 996.2, 50k miles, black/black comfort with buckets, PCCBs and CS rear cage by JZM with a view to putting it on for £43k a month ago. I think I could get £10k more now 😊 but I'd only sell to get an RS.

Comfort spec??

I'll give you a tenner for it, and that's me being generous.

Even a month ago I would consider that to be a very low bid.

I spoke to 911V around the same time about my car which is identical to yours minus the PCCB's (same spec and mileage) and they said they would be looking to get £50-52 for it.

Yes, a bit cheeky that.

I suspect it wouldn't have gone up for 43k at all! I had an OPC tell me they would retail my 997.1 turbo for 10k less than the 997.1turbo already in the Lovett group. The one they had was tip, 35k more miles, no pccbs, and generally low spec, so at worst a 16k mark up on my car!
