Lovely 997 GT3 RS, but…

[estacion]

I know everything is crazy money at the moment, but why does this Gt3 rs have such a high guide price? Am i missing something?

Does seem a touch rich but as the old adage goes ‘go try buy another…’
What a car.

To some it's the holy grail (or as close to).

Lotto win would see one in the garage for me over anything else with a Porsche badge.

I agree. But circa 100k more than ones that can be bought in the classifieds? Ok, it’s an unusual colour but that doesn't warrant such a premium does it?

Madness. Flat black does nothing for it. Horrible colour on a RS, probably swirl city on closer inspection.

I suspect they have looked at the prices of 997 GT3 4.0's as benchmarks (which appear within same search criteria) and not realised the error/difference with a 3.8 commands a good £100K+ less.

That said, the PTS black is very a special order and the combo with the red looks amazing. It might be the only black one in existence. Its certainly the best looking one I have ever seen in my opinion.

Seems about right compared to this recent auction sale https://www.broadarrowauctions.com/vehicles/jc22_0...

Just found this one that sold recently. It’s in US so may not have any baring on euro cars, but…

I'd happily sell my white 3.8 for a lot less than the estimate, then I would add some cash and buy a 4.0 for not much more

Difficult to put a value on these cars at the moment. We are surely reaching the end of a bull market but if you have the money this is probably where you want to put it in terms of securing a future collectibles and a truly drivers car.
