I think they've topped out personally....there might not be many on the market but they are taking longer to sell than they were six or 12 months ago. Romans have just got back into stock a Grey/Red car that they sold only a few months ago and the Mexico Blue 4.0 RS that JZM sold last year was back on their website recently for slightly more money but has since disappeared....
Don't get me wrong I'd love one but can't see them going up from here.

Think we're a little early in the season to really judge that to be honestDon't get me wrong I'd love one but can't see them going up from here.

Porsche has some way to go until they can dream of matching Ferrari's arrogance... for example unlike Ferrari they let you drive your car wherever and whenever you want and they are very transparent when it comes to recalls. Unlike some other company. (Happened in the 80's and the world always travels in circles)
[quote=SWC]Do you think the values will continue to Hold / Rise on these cars on long term?
I think having followed the market over the last 2 years the RS market is static and a few are chancing their luck with 150+ asking price. These have hung around since the autumn so at present yes I think they have maxed out.
Also the original hostility to the 911 GT3 (non manual) has abated a bit and the value of the 911 is making the price of the 997s a little hard to digest. I'm sure the traditionalist for the manual shift will protest but there is as many that like the 991 as that don't.
Yes it's not an RS but new versus old means the justification for the high prices seems hard to swallow when looking at a newer car and tech and extended warrenty period.

In my mind values have nowhere near peaked - I agree they will now settle and may even go backwards as economic factors change over time , but I'm convinced , that in the long run they will become more and more desirable and as such more and more expensive - outside of the 4.0 , it is the last of a generation , never to be seen again ; Manual , naturally aspirated , race bred engine , proper steering and really silly stickers - what more could a man want ?
The 991 is the start of a new journey and it will be a very exciting one at that , finishing with a hybrid version of the RS at some point way off in the future. As such , every new 911 generation is getting further and further away from the analogue 997 ; the bigger the gap , the more quant and rare it will become.
I bet 50p (this is a huge bet for me) that pristine , low milage examples will pass 1/3 of a million mark (plus inflation) in the next 20 years - promise

Hard to argue with the part in bold above! Did you get one in the end? I remember you were looking.The 991 is the start of a new journey and it will be a very exciting one at that , finishing with a hybrid version of the RS at some point way off in the future.

I intend to use my 991 GT3 RS as the (almost) daily driver and the 4.0 for the special occasion. I think that will apply to most people who have the luck of owning both models and probably that will reflect on residuals as well.
The 997 GT3 RS was a last of an era whereas the 991 GT3 RS is the first of a (new) era - unless they go to turbo charging thereafter.

Seen regular Gen 2RSs coming up for sale, hav'nt seen any Gen 1RSs for ages ...were there more built I wonder ?
Taken from a thread on 911uk...996 RS = 113 UK RHD
997.1 RS = 119 UK RHD, wonder what the split in colours were (most orange I guess) and how many have survived.

I know from a thread on here a while ago that about 25 were Orange and about 15? were Green ,don't know about the rest....but just wondered about the overall Gen 2 Rs's imported as there seems to be a fair few coming up in the classifieds as compared to Gen1"s996 RS = 113 UK RHD
