991 GT3 Prices - 50 cars available!
Discussion
For every 991GT3 that has a £20k reduction, there are 2 being put on the market at top dollar - even one at £185k just now. This shows us that some are in no rush to sell at all and just speculating - the few that do need to sell will be the ones with the larger price drops.
The market is In a strange place and who knows what will happen when the RS hits the streets - fact is we don't know and the reviews may be so good that it pulls the values of GT3s up with them as the very next best thing. Who knows???
I've recently bought a 991GT3 and paid over list and whilst I wish I had been in a position to buy a new one at list, I do not regret my purchase as it is worth every penny. In my view there is no alternative for the money, even at current prices. I would bet that the majority that have owned a 991GT3 and have driven a regular 991 with PDK would feel the same way - as it is so much more of a package than the lesser models - for those that enjoy driving, which I would assume all GT3 owners would be.
Let's face it - those who want one will talk the values down and those who own one will talk values up - so a bit pointless as most have an agenda here

Refreshing, but there is a third group - one that has no interest in owning one (but can afford one) and is amused by it all and believes it will all revert to mean at some stage. Mermaid said:

I fear the third Partnership, of which you are obviously self elected Chairman, may be simply one or two serial posters who covet a 991GT3, but are fighting denial through a sea of green mist.

What does the R8 do better than the GT3 though? The R8 is also fundamentally a very old car.
Anyone would agree the GT3, even at £180k, is good value in a direct comparison against a Speciale. If however you can't afford a £180k car, then of course it's harder to rationalise.
GT3 get's nowhere close to a Speciale imo.Anyone would agree the GT3, even at £180k, is good value in a direct comparison against a Speciale. If however you can't afford a £180k car, then of course it's harder to rationalise.
bit like saying a 2.7 cayman vs a Gt4 the gap is so big.
however if you can't afford a £220k car then of course it's harder to rationalise :-p

ks on this thread can sure speak a lot of bks too. If you are advertising at 185k then you are clearly not a seller, more likely a market manipulator. No idiot, well there is always one I suppose, will pay 185k for a car when a similar car is available for 40k+ less.
I don't buy the GT3 RS b
ks of dragging up GT3 prices. We all know what the RS is more or less going to be like, the reviews are out there. If people want a RS, they want a RS, they are not gonna pay stupid overs to a get the next best thing. And wait till all the RS flippers hit the market .....I'm glad for you that you bought one and you enjoy the car. No one here is saying that it is not an awesome machine. However, this market has been manipulated in my opinion, and the fact that you keep trying to defend the *overs* price you paid, shows that depreciation of the car matters to you! If you want to tell everyone how great the car is there is another thread on that, this one is unashamedly about prices. Read the title '991 GT3 Prices - 50 cars available!'

If it wasnt for a certain someone talking about prices, would people be that interested in the 'market'?
Considering this thread is on its 12th page I would say there's more than one person interested in which way the market is heading!Not that he cares as he's probably flipped all of his by now, has a rhd/lhd RS on order (x2, one for driving, the other for showing naturally), 4x GT4's due to FOMO etc

I really am rubbish at putting across what i mean, what im trying to say if it wasnt for Apollo stating the cars would be £180k by x, then there wouldnt be this sort of 'rejoicing' that the cars are coming back down and proving him wrong.

Porsche halo products have certainly provided opportunities for traders.Not that he cares as he's probably flipped all of his by now, has a rhd/lhd RS on order (x2, one for driving, the other for showing naturally), 4x GT4's due to FOMO etc

Well said! Not that he cares as he's probably flipped all of his by now, has a rhd/lhd RS on order (x2, one for driving, the other for showing naturally), 4x GT4's due to FOMO etc
And I think he is not the only secret trader on here.

What I don't get is why they are allowed to continue buying from Porsche as a preferred customer. Surely it damages the brand to an extent and they are in a comfortable position of being able to hand pick who should buy these GT cars. Porsche must surely want buyers who take pride in them, and ideally chop them back in with the same OPC in 6/12 months time.
Prices remain high, but nothing seems to be shifting. Need them to drop a little further and find a light spec.

I'd suggest you establish who Apolo is and what if any his links are to Porsche AG, I think you'll then better appreciate how he's been able to access the cars.
Hmm. A poster on PH emailed me about his link to Porsche AG. I invite him on here to clarify his position ! (wishful thinking).

Hilarious, I wouldn't bother if I were him to respond to various ludicrous accusations either.FWIW, he's not a trader and if he's got a car or 2 (or 3...
) that he thinks will appreciate in value and has stated so, that's little different to a lot of other people here and certainly no different from those who keep on banging about how overvalued some cars are as well in the hope that prices go the direction they want.Slippydiff said:

I have often wondered this myself. Originally I thought he was a lottery winner 
Is he a Porsche board member?
