will feel slow coming from your GT2..if you can push to the 430 Scud much better car

If you're used to a 997 Gt2 then agreed

Its not about speed, it's about how the car makes you feel. I drove my Lotus into work today which is a lot slower than the porker but it just felt way more fun. Its a happy little car and thus made me feel happy to be in it. The 360 still feels analogue and I like that. I imgaine the 6RS does as well.

yes it definitely does i love them great cars...wouldn't wanted to have driven mine to work though. Ideally you'd keep the gt2 and use the 6RS for occasional hoons/trackdays as it'll get pretty tiring on the road. Gt2 better for all that stuff

They are the same price bracket - one is private and the other is dealer that's probably worth about £5k
In fact the other might be better value...slightly lower miles, ceramics, dealer provided, etc.

I would have said it shows where the market is. They both are within a similar negotiating band. Depends which one is in better condition.

I thought the PS advert said inviting offers. Wonder what my 9000 6RS might be worth now.

Yes they all need inspection without doubt so be it a dealer or private car you'd get it looked at by a proper specialist such as JZM so what real advantage is there paying a SOR dealers premium ?
It's not like it's a 996 C4.

A private seller at 115 may not play hardball especially now he sees another same car on the mkt.,

There has not been two of these cars advertised in the classifieds for a long time but now there are.
May well hint at something no?

Was there not a 'Beardy Bubble' thread y'day ?

Saw a blue rhd with 5000 on the Internet for £140,000 but a red one with 16000 went for £80,000 this week.

The above was posted on FB this morning.

it's a classic situation in a rising market that everyone believes their car is worth the top prices being paid,in my experience 9 out of 10 of the cars offered will be sub-standard and only the really perfect cars will command top money over time, if I had a ste example now I would hit the bid too with prices up where they are !

There can never be more "really perfect cars" in the future than there are now. So supply of "really good cars" is fixed if not reducing. What makes you think demand will fall? If it doesn't fall, anyone who can't get a "perfect car" will have to do with a common or garden car.

I appreciate there may be a bubble right now, but that doesn't mean that "average" cars will not be worth significantly more in the future. Especially if you start with the premise that "really good cars" will be worth significantly more.

I think that it's subjective. The 996RS is a MUCH better car than a 993 Clubsport - I have one before the missiles start firing - yet the maket values the 993 above the 996 currently. It also values it below a 993RS of which there were far far more produced.

If you are being objective, either the 993 had a huge fall coming compared to the 996 or the 996 has a huge climb coming.

Either way, it doesn't matter unless you are actually in the market to buy or sell.

What is a real shame is that cars will probably no longer fall into the hands of drivers that will continue to drive them as Porsche intended. This car represented the point at which ( proper ) racing and road 911's almost met. It won't happen again. What a shame that most will end up in heated garages

Steve,
My understanding is that the next car to have the RS badge, is much more track focused than any RS that has gone before..

A very salient point well made Steve....as soon as I can get the noise level down from 110db mine will be on track maybe only at 7/10ths though ....oh here's an interesting aside a snip from the Porsche sales brochure

I sincerely hope thst you are right. My point is that the 996RS and the 996 Cup were very close mechanically. The 991RS may well be track focused but i'd be very surprised it will be as close to the 991 Cup.

[agtlaw]

I have info on 40 of these cars. If you're a serious buyer then contact me for any info, as i'd prefer to keep it off the forum.

You just need the chassis number (last 4 digits only), registration number & previous registration numbers (get this from MOT history online) - http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-In...

I think it will be Steve,
A lot of the high tech materials used on the 918 are on this car, ie. forged carbon, super light alloy, magnesium...they want to go out with a bang on this..

There is a litte wrinkle with values on this.
i.e. when the 996 RS was a £60k car more people felt comfortable using it aggressively...this may reduce (and already has) as values increase
If the 991RS is say a £160k car OTR and then trades for say £40k overs....then as a £200k car there may be less on track (unlesd everyone who manages to get their hamds on one can also afford/has appetite to use as intended)
