I thought it was interesting to see that 911 sold 3 x 991 GT3s over this weekend. Looks like sales are going to take off again chaps!!

BS if you ask me. Those cars were £170k plus a few days ago and went to "POA" and all miraculously then sold, whilst stock of (some cheaper) cars at OPCs increased.

It is an odd market, still feel sub £150k is where it will be at soon and not £200k as Sidicks mentions.

A really nice red one for sale at Aberdeen OPC I see, just over 900 miles

Will be interesting to see how prices look in 6 months if a change of government. Exodus on some non doms, mansion tax, 50% tax rate etc. None of this will be positive for the market. Some dealers may catch a cold. LHD market should be ok

Plus with 991 GT3 RS, Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder all arriving a lot of new Porsche entering the market.

Are older GT3's and 991 GT3's really worth a premium?

I sense quite a few jumped on the bandwagon when they felt these cars were on the up, but looks like people are looking to cash in now and supply is greater than demand at these prices.

JZM Yellow car just sold..... looks like maybe 911 Sport sale of three might be right?

Has to be the cleanest car out there.

[Sandy59]

I bought mine from 911 Sport last year, can't see how that could have been any cleaner, basically in brand new condition as described, and still is to be honest.

Hopefully no will take on track or may get a stone chip !! although supermarket car parks are dangerous ...lent my GT3 to a friend who took it through a gravel trap at high speed .... nice stone rash to polish out.. haha

Your contention would seem to sadly be well supported by the sizeable proportion of cars on offer with car park mileage... All those OPC cars where the high miler has only done 3500 miles in 2 years...

Personally I wouldn't, given my usage of the car, but it could certainly make sense for someone who would do more track days if they couldn't obtain a RHD 'RS'.

2 years?

Weren't the first cars delivered in November '13 and off the road for a month or two due to the engine change fiasco...

So more like 12-14months.

What was the typical mileage for a 997 GT3 in its first few years of ownership??

Didn't say you did...calm down Sidicks.

I reckon Apollo bought the lot - he's convinced they will be worth £200k soon...

Apollo would never do such a thing, hes not a trader ya know

[slippydiffgt3]

I think Apollo thought that GT3s might get to £
200k if the RS was well enough received.

I considered bringing up the months of downtime, but in fairness most of it was through winter-spring (the low use season). But it is relevant as most of the cars on the market have indeed had only 12-18 months use.

But I can answer your question as in a similar age range I was actually tracking the market and can reach for a handy spreadsheet. There were in fact only 5 997.2 GT3s on the market at the time (all being between 12 and 24 months old). The lowest mileage was 18 months old with over 2500 on the clock, then one at 4k, one at 5.5k, one at 10k and one just over 13k (oldest one on the market).

At that point, there was actually twice as much choice of the equivalent (and 6 months younger - none older than 18 months) 997.2RS. Those were generally higher milages than the year to 18 month old 991s are at the moment too (most having 3k-6k on the clock, but with a handful below 2k and one car below 1000 miles).

RS being a little late not helped, but they seem to be sitting at 165-175k, its what 18months old now and 50k plus over list...
