I have a client of mine who is selling a 996 gt3 comfort spec in black and it has 8k on the clock. I think its something like 8069 or there abouts. Anyway, do you think the value of these will go up like many porsches have done? I know its not got the cage, but i think its got the carbon bucket seats.

The reason i ask, is because if its something thats likely to go up in value, i have one or two people that might be interested in buying it an most likely put it away for a while as an investment, but i don't want to suggest something and be completely wrong.

Its already happened, you are too late. That car is probably worth near 100k.

Well, he told me that he's looking around the 70k mark. Shall I tell him to ask for more? Lol. Or get a bank loan and buy it myself!

Its possibly been a great investment for the current owner, the next, who knows?

I think its a 3 or 4 owner car and has been with the last owner for a very long time. It just never got used, but was always serviced at opc silverstone.

If it's a genuinely straight car that passes all the relevant checks then you certainly wouldn't lose your £70k if you could actually get it for that, as already mentioned it's worth more than that for sure.

Clark, i couldn't buy it lol. However, when spoke to him last month, he was looking for about that. It is a great car, with a very honest history. Its just not being used.

I`d take up a loan and try to flip it tbh, could easily net you an easy 15-25k.

You wont lose a dime thats for sure. talk to your family if that aint an option.

What you want is a Cayman R in PX wink with one of the lowest miles around.
