15 991 GT3 for sale on PH

[Scott Parker]

I would settle for 150k if and when came the time to sell, heck I would even settle for 140k trade against an RS. I think the GT3 will find its own level once the RS has been done and dusted. If the RS goes stratospheric it may well pull the GT3 up again

For track day use, the forte of the older GT3's, the Cayman GT4 is likely to dominate. So it is new positioning of the GT3 imho.

The GT4 will struggle to dominate much without them actually making enough of them, and with a properly track specced example costing more than the value at which 996.2 GT3s have started to vanish from circuits I reckon that the future of track day pork might as likely as anything be the 3.4 987.2C...

Heh tread carefully there about suggesting the prices are high or you will be accused of being obsessed with talking down the car again, possibly due to being angry at bailing early just because you don't think prices will necessarily continue rising.....

Yes I know but it's like the Emperors New Clothes now with this car.

Funny how people chuck stuff about on here but have no clue what I have bought / sold when and for what price. There are now more Gt3 to choose from then there have ever been since the car was launched and prices are going to go up?

Edited to add: I see the yellow car at JZM has been reduced by £4k. No doubt someone will be along in a minute to claim it's not an actual reduction in price but something else entirely.

+1

Especially if the used market trades at a premium. If it does not then they may get used more. IMO

Hours match miles.

I always assume that the guys that offer the "Mileage correction" can do that too so I will use an assessment of overall car condition and a thorough inspection of all paperwork as a pointer to whether the odometer on a car can be accepted as showing the true mileage.

Am I wrong about that?

[Buffalo Girls]

Surely the prices will have to weaken on the 991s for sale. There can't be that many people who want to buy a year old GT3 at the same time

[av185]

With c 10 cars for sale at OPCs this represents only c 5 percent of UK cars only a couple of which may be of interest to a particular potential purchaser bearing in mind spec, age colour and mileage etc. Hardly 'oversupply' especially mindful of the supply of similar priced 458 and 12c stock the price of which has remained relatively buoyant.

[Kananga]

Would be interested to know what others think about spec, but IMHO the GT3 needs to be a Clubsport with axle lift. Appreciate maybe not everyone wants a clubsport but I think the car 'deserves' the Sports bucket seats at least.

Interestingly, the only OPC car which is a clubsport with axle lift is the [riviera?] blue one up for £180k... Even if it doesn't sell at that price, some of the cheaper ones may not appeal to some buyers (eg. the cheapest one (£149k?) doesn't have axle lift, which I imagine is a must-have for many buyers ?

Will be interesting to see how spec influences differential prices over time...

Clubsport not a must, axel is, imo. Due to the 991 GT3 attracting a new breed of GT3 buyer.

For me personally, buckets would be essential but not necessarily full ClubSport. As far as axle lift is concerned, you can survive without it but you'd need to get used to crunching the front splitter on a semi-regular basis.

[Charles22]

Certainly for me Clubsport, buckets, front lift all essential. That's the spec I have and on speaking to my OPC yesterday its what they desire most. He also said the colour white was now a bit 'played out'? However that said, in the grand scheme of things I wouldn't trust on OPC to tell me the time.

Sounds boring..... though its probably the perfect journey for an automatic

Its a joke guys!!! Please don't kill me

Actually, £105k sounds like a bargain compared to UK prices!

[av185]

Agreed.....a boring journey IS perfect for an automatic.

Far more interesting with a PDK S.......:

Better than a RHD £75k GT4 imo. RHD GT3 prices are really a little unrealistic.

White 991 GT3 in Italy with 1500 miles for 129k EUR (92k GBP). Sport seats though :-(

[Gander101]

Interesting debate on specification.

Personally, for me, not at all interested in Club Sport, so mine specified CS - "C" being comfort

I'm sure the base car actually has all the essentials as standard, in that you could order it with no options and it would deliver the same driving experience as one with all the options ticked.

At sale time, whatever the specification your car is, it'll be wrong. If yours is Club Sport then all the buyers will be the "new generation" of GT3 owners looking for comfort and if you have Comfort all the buyers will be track enthusiasts looking for Club Sport. It's all about getting your car for as little as possible and maximising the margin.

Anyway going by other posts here, I have the worst specced 991 GT3 ordered, White comfort, PCCB, with apparently the only useful option being front lift ..... but I'm happy with it

Someone's previously reported new LHD cars being available at this price....of all Porsche cars the track orientated GT cars surely should be least sensitive to whether they are LHD or RHD.

I agree they look cheap compared to both the RHD 991 GT3 and GT4.

[av185]

Talking of brakes......and steels v ceramics, Sportautos very typically thorough informative and interesting test of the GT4 found the car with steels created more front downforce than the one with ceramics due to greater wind turbulance around the smaller rotas. Better turn in maybe. Perhaps this also applies to the GT3.

Food for thought.
