great to see it being sold to a true enthusiast and club racer. well done that man.

[mrdemon]

you could have 3 and buy the left hooker at Leicester, it's 100k less.

Nice garage to have ;-)

2010 and 140ish new I think.

RHD are 350 and LHD are 250 upwards I'd say.

Thanks, and how many made?

"Before we get into the nuts and bolts of this last and loudest laugh of the 996/997 series of Porsche 911s, you should know its run of 600 units is dictated not by demand, but that thereafter its parts supplies will dry up; and at a price of £128,466, Porsche will make no money from any of them." From Andrew Frankel

Er, wish I'd bought one new!

[pistolp]

Basic price yes. With options on this car I suspect it was quite a bit more. Not really the point though. How many buyers of 2.7s, 993, 964 RS' etc worry about the list price.

At the end of the day. Each to his own.

I saw your new 4.0 at JZM this morning, Stunning piece of kit. Hope you enjoy it.

[roygarth]

So the RHD has risen 'approximately' 175% FROM NEW in 3/4 years! Incredible, even in this market.

I wonder if, in terms of magnitude and speed, this is unique in the history of car price movement from new?

7.2 RS has risen 50% in less than a year, that is staggering.

A 275 GTB was 150k in the early 2000's. They are now over 2m. If I still owned one of them I'd be more worried about 1.9m in appreciation than I would about 200k.

Anyway. I didn't look at it like that particularly. More just that's bloody gorgeous and really special to drive. Done.

Congrats pistolp, a truly awesome purchase! Probably my favourite road going 911 that I have seen advertised for sale. Stunning. If I spy you on track in it I shall bow down

You should continue the collection. Here's one in a colour you don't have (yet)



Cheers

Needs lime green packing tape around the number plate to really set it off.

Nothing unique about that. Plus not relevant as It wasn't NEW in 2000's. The uniqueness of the enormous 4.0RS price move is the fact that is from NEW.

Well its not your problem is it. You're not a 4.0 owner so arguably your opinion on price isn't relevant either. Of course you could give me 400k and change all that.....

[Legacywr]

Weren't these available by invite only when they were new?

[pistolp]

I believe dealers offered them to good customers first, I was offered one at the time but had just sold my 3.8 RS and lost 20k. Nor did I know at the time that it would be anything like as great as it is.

Very well done Jamie, a very unique car that one.

I know of a person that owns more than two of these....wasn't that a great investment! Not RHD cars though.

Come off it, this is pure speculation you say you already have one to drive and unlike Apollo you haven't bought a LHD one to drive around your Riviera Estate..... As I posted earlier if it was the ultimate 997 GT3 drive you wanted you could have created a better drive than the 4.0RS but on top of a GT3 donor it would have cost probably £150K most of which would be unrecoverable at sale time and this is against your real primary motive of this purchase

[pistolp]

Pure speculation? The first one was that at 220. This was an awful lot more, I'd be a brave man to be buying now purely on the basis of making more money.

There are easier and surer ways of making money. As for making an ultimate 911, its a good idea. I nearly did that. But now a 3.8 RS is 150, engine upgrade from Manthey 60k and various other upgrades another 20k say so you are at 230k. I would rather pay more and have the real thing. But you do what you think makes sense....personally I am just enjoying myself.

If I were you, I wouldn't sell your car for anything less than £500k. I think it really is that good and will get there very soon

[pistolp]

I was going to negotiate up when he PM'd me! I'm not a seller....a buyer in fact. 598 to go.....

Where does 'problem' come into this? You seem to be missing the point, either deliberately or otherwise. I don't have an opinion on price. I simply have an interest in the nature of markets in general, and in particular the market for the 4.0RS as, by any yardstick, it is unusual, dramatic and, er, interesting. Not quite sure why you have a problem with that?
