996 GT3 FS

[Onetrackmind]

Hi guys,

How much do LHD versions of a 996 GT3 go for on British shores? Is it the same as mainland Europe?

[DasChin]

I think are lot are selling.

if you ring the dealers they are gone and went a while ago

its the old dealer trick of leaving up an advert.....it gets interest and shows they are a specialist in this area.

oh you want a GT3 sir? sorry that one is sold but we have another coming in soon....what a great way to pent up demand.

It doesn't change the fact that some cars have been selling (see the 6.2 comfort at JZM for £80k as an example). It makes me think my 15k miles clubsport is potentially undervalued at its current £75k!

You do know your meant to drive them don't you and not polish the st out of it???

You can do both you know. I did 800 miles in two days a few months ago on a West Coast of Scotland trip. Work and family commitments mean I can't do 1k miles every weekend!

Photographic proof that the car does get used!

And my old man's low mileage RS got just as dirty!

Saw my old speed yellow 996.1 GT3 at RPM Technik today. I was sad that it's no longer mine and made sadder still when I found out it had been driven less that 1,000 miles since I sold it 2 years ago.

If you want a good 'un and are in funds then definitely worth a look. Markets have moved on, and my perception of what I would be happy to spend on a 6, whilst on the up, just can't keep pace with current price reality. Yep get the world's smallest guitar out for a proper #firstworldproblem.

My advice is simply never sell a GT3 unless you you are moving up to the RS!

I would like to know, to your knowledge, which ones have sold of the list below (ones that have been on for a while)

Polar silver one (no A/C?) 44,500 miles £62,500
Basalt black 41,000 miles £67,995 (on for months)
White/blue RS 26,000 miles £149,950 OPC approved (on for months)
Atlas grey 36,500 miles £76,985 (on since 200BC)

I see the SY Russian one is no longer advertised - sold?

[jackwood]

The cars that are shifting fast at top price are the ones with perfect provenance at the most respected dealers.

Clarke, I think you are right about yours. £75k is on the low side of what you should expect for yours.

I love this car, it catches my eye each time it comes up for sale at RPM (3 times now I think?). SY is an great colour on the MK1, or indeed any GT3. Someone hurry up and buy it!!!

Lovely car Slodge. Is it a CS or Comfort? I have a 996.1 GT3 CS in SY and have only seen one other SY 996.1 at a track day about 10 years ago.

My best mate has a completely original, standard SY 996.1 GT3 CS

Would love to know what it's worth now....

My old one is a comfort with factory fitted leather buckets. I bought it from SCoM at what I thought was a toppy £44k back in 2012. At the time I remember seeing a SY CS but with the Manthey conversion at JZM for the same money.

I sold through RPM T in 2013 for similar amount I bought for due to change in my circumstances (which has now sorted itself annoyingly). Back there now for the 2nd time.

Great straight car! Please buy it before I do something my wife will regret....

My 996.1 GT3 has the K400 mod done by JZM and also a cup steering wheel as well as 996.2 brakes. I know totally stock cars will most likely command the best money but the Manthey K400 upgrade
seems to be a popular upgrade on 996.1 GT3's along with fitting Mk 2 brakes and I have kept the original airbag wheel.

All academic as cant see myself selling anytime soon as no obvious replacement.

Geoff, your car sounds lovely and the Manthey conversion in no way would put me off, supposedly makes it even more fun and louder? You should have seen what I did to my 996.2 GT3 which featured further up this thread! Hope you enjoy it in good health, MK1 gets prettier every day IMO.

Then put it back into hibernation? ON a serious note, didnt we buy ours at the same time (5 years ago now), i know we spoke about led lenses.

Im looking forward to your 96'3 vs GT4 comparison but you need to get more wheel time for it to be fair

Sorry you've lost me on the GT4 comment? I've only had mine for 3 years in December so you must be confusing me with someone else

and can't drive any of them !

[jackwood]

I just let the wife chauffeur me around in them I don't drive myself any more. That's for paupers.

[rallyeman]

I'm trying to be realistic with my advert, on price.
What's the general thinking, should I mention the live re-map, or just not mention it, because it's not standard?
The cats, look stock, and all new OE clamps used.
Thanks in advance
