997 GT3 RS realistic price?
Discussion
Assuming we are ignoring the Porsche Green examples that sky rocketed in price some years ago (not sure if this is still the case), does anyone have any experience of what a 997 GT3 RS would be available at these days?
I understand that in the classifieds they are circa £130K (asking) but I'm assuming these are mostly sale or return prices in which the dealer may have around 15-20% + spread on the transaction. That's fair enough, I don't expect them to work for nothing however buying via a trader offers little in the case of a cash purchaser with no trade in or requirement of finance-how much are people actually paying/receiving?
Are there any posters who have relatively recent experience of what is a realistic sale price achievable? If the GT crowd don't frequent PH much these days is there a better place to ask?

Price would be UK£, car would be used for perhaps 3x Nürburgring trips and 2x Spa track days only per year. Maybe a little more but another car would be used for UK track days so a low mileage garage queen isn't necessary.
That's not to say a track slag is un/acceptable should a good car be available.
What would be unacceptable would be spending £130K on a car that wasn't worth that in real terms. Appreciate that there is always a cost in motoring but if a £30k hit on ownership is to be accepted, a new car with warranty would be preferred in this case.
How much less than £130K are UK owners of typical GT3rs' getting?

Excellent advice all round, thanks for the info especially around the percentages involved with SOR. It would appear the margins are less than I was expecting at 5%.
CLR, many thanks for the info and we understand about the advantages of a German registered car however I think a RHD car would be preferred-perhaps one slightly less modified also although I have forwarded on your details to the purchaser-if he is interested he'll be in touch.
Are orange ones really worth any more or is this something that's come on the back of the green gold rush? One has been offered although no firm price has been given.

Not many of these on the ring this year buddy. Even the rich people cant afford to track them!Im pretty sure white is the rarest RHD 997.1 GT3 RS colour?
I like the black/orange ones but then I'm not buying it. I seem to recall a silver/orange one in the classifieds for a long time, there can't have been many of them. CH from Circuit Days had a white one many years ago.
