Why has this Zanzibar 996 GT3 not sold?

Its not got the Steve McQueen cool but it is the fist ever GT3 and i think that will stand for a lot in years to come.
It might not reach 2.7RS money but if I was going to buy a relatively affordable Porsche to make money on, this would be it.

I can honestly see Gen 1 and possibly 2 996 GT3 CS cars at stupid money in the not too distant future.

Looks fab, I am sure its a good one. LHD is worth less of course and silver isnt the most popular.

If its got proper history etc, then its a great buy for somebody.

Must be the weather, as soon as the sun comes out so do GT3 buyers, according to JZM they have an offer from Europe on that car and expect to close the sale any day so another good GT3 will be off the market.

There are some on here that are protesting current price levels are high, with the way the good cars are selling this month I fully expect to see in 3 months the same people telling you prices today were a bargain!

I fear you may be right.

It's certainly the case that there is no joy of ownership in a bank account ...

In fact there may soon be No Interest in bank accounts !!!

I mean ... 0.1% is surely an insult when they tell you the the max you will get back if they go bust, is less than the value of a really nice car ...

And yet an OPC quoted me 8% APR on a finance deal yesterday and mortgages are at 2-5% depending upon equity. The banks are coining it in and getting paid for every card transaction in the world each day.

Nothing new there then!

There are much cheaper deals than 8% --- it's just an invitation to shop around ---

I am pretty sure that the profit levels go in this order of magnitude;

1 - Finance
2 - Options
3 - Trade in
4 - Basic car
