What a bizarre approach to selling a car.

As someone who bought a Guards Red 997.2 GT3 Clubsport (from an absolute gent who'd owned it from new) in August I think I qualify as the target audience for that advert.

I would most certainly have not made any enquiry based on the content of that!

Although I may have been tempted to point out all 911's have back seats and could he perhaps replace them

If it's not had a new (G series, late number) engine you'd only have until the end of the month to get it to go into limp mode and assessed for a new one... Unless Porsche continue the engine replacement rather than rebuild. (If the problem is cam lobe wear).

You'd think they'd clean the alcantara, looks almost as shiny as leather.

991.1 GT3's look to me like they will be good value in the next 12 months, how low will they go??

Still plenty of time to get a new engine with a late 2014 registered one. They're fantastic cars, even without nose lift.

OPC cars come with a 2 year warranty, extendable until 14 yo I believe, so shouldn’t have to worry too much on the engine front.

Interested to know what people would currently offer on any of the .1 or .2 RS’s for sale. Literally nothing has moved over the last few months. I have the money but am new to the Porsche game….

I'd not be using the car until March/April, so I'd be waiting until early February and seeing what's what then.

Of course, but it's whether Porsche will supply you a new crate engine or repair the existing once the 10 year warranty specific to the 991.1 cam lobe / follower wear has expired, which is 10 years from date of registration (or 100k miles I think)

Where do the price experts see GT3 prices settling come the spring and what would be a good price to buy at this winter ?

Impossible to answer for sure (as with any forward price prediction).

At the moment cheapest cars are up for £90k but have high (relative to market) miles 20-30k.

The odd distressed sale may appear lower than £90k.

Come spring I wouldn’t be surprised to see similar prices, given this time of year through Xmas to Jan being rather slow (you can’t use them easily). Market starts to pick up again Feb into Spring. That is my view for what it is worth.

Ashgood flogged one for 79k recently…

991.2 RS is an interesting one now....assuming it is being bought to take on track is it a significantly better car on track than a 992 GT3 with that front end ? It is definitely serious competition for it as they are very similar prices.

86k miles on the Cali - good work that man

[NRG1976]

This looks like a nice car, ceramics, buckets, chrono, still under Porsche warranty and all for under 90k?

You mean Ashgoods advertised one for 79k, they probably sold it for less!

Where do people see the 992 GT3 market average come spring ? Still falling or levelling out ?

I think it will level out or may marginally pick up from Feb. But the question is at what level will it have dropped to by then. No idea really but I'd guess OPC retail ~£145-155k for an early '21 model year. Definitely not the same level of over-supply as the Turbo (S) and a lot of the flippers have already flipped, but financial pressures have certainly softened the market and will likely sustain further drops over the winter. On the flip side (non pun intended) it's the best car I've owned - there is nothing I'd rather drive right now for a short blast on A/B roads. It's not the fastest, not the loudest but somehow it gets under your skin, especially in manual spec.

None of really know, but my guess is prices will continue to soften. Once they have finished Uk production there will be a fair few 992 gt3 in the Uk.

I think that secondhand prices will have lifted with new cost prices but if depreciation does return to normal, list - 35% would be a good price for a three year old well maintained car with an extended warranty option ??
