991 GT3 RS sensible time to buy ?
Discussion
Interesting question...that car has been winking at me too! I'll probably be totally wrong but my feeling is that there are plenty for sale already (Top 555 alone have three) and I would expect a few more to come to market as new GT3's roll out in earnest..so I'm holding off for now but can well understand your temptation!!
Impossible question to answer. It's always a good time to buy a car like a GT3 RS !
On a more serious note there are definitely a few more cars available then in recent times but they're also shifting from what i have seen. i doubt Top 555 would have three on their website if they thought they'd be stuck with them.
Big question in my mind is whether there is a 991.2 GT3RS if you are worried about values.

Totally agree with the above.I had a UV GT3-RS that's still forsale, the price it's up for is less than I got for it PX back in September last year!
GT3RS currently, I'm my opinion, are like high stake poker, could buy it and prices may be stable, can buy it and your 100% going to take a large bath in it, which I did, and I was worried about actually driving it as putting the miles on would devalue considerably.
So I bought an PTS 991 GT3 and can drive it when I want and not worry to much on residules! I'm even certain that when the .2 rolls out that .1's will still be stable, I don't believe the new engine will be as na ice at the top end as the 3.8
Prices have latterly been undermined by political and market uncertainty from all sides, the usual summer lull and 'cheaper' offerings from the likes of Mclaren etc. Obvious result is much bigger spread between trade and retail.
Autumn into winter will inevitably see further price falls before an anticipated firming up towards next Spring in part supported by the likely £200k price point of the first flipped 991.2. GT3s.

I'd wait for sub £200k RHD examples to surface
Already a reality. OPC Mayfair have a 10k mile Lava Orange car up for £199,900...decent spec on it. They've had it for a while....at least they had an Orange one in there maybe two months ago but could have been a different car. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...

How do you feel prices will go over next couple years, I've got my eye on the GT silver one at Porsche Leicester. is now a good time?
What is going to win the 208 Epsom Derby ? If you knew already, you'd be a multi millionaire wouldn't you but of course you don't and you're not.One things for sure, cars aint going up anymore. All these adverts stating "INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY" in big bold letters, their creators want shootin.

Had steels so around £15k to £20k cheaper than a ceramic car. Otherwise top spec.

With regards to an RS - not sure where prices are exactly in the UK but a LHD RS at under 200k Euros (so basically list price) doesn't sound too bad value-for-pleasure/car wise to me assuming you like PDK. Sure it might lose some money (I don't think they will half in value over 3 years like most cars), but if one always worries about that, then maybe buying expensive cars is not the best thing to do in the first place

Those considering one should read this. I've been offered two 911r's this week at sub £400k, and politely informed the flippers that I'd love one but rather not catch a falling knife.

2-3000 miles will cost you £50k +.
Same applies to the 991 RS, but even more so in relative financial terms, as there are far too many of them.
You are looking at stratospheric levels of depreciation if you drive either, hence the reason they are sticking.
So, you can't really drive them and they are not an attractive investment ....curates egg.
I agree with you on the 911R. That is quickly loosing its allure (as was predictable) and hence they will be mileage sensitive. Regarding the GT3 RS I don't think that they are that mileage sensitive, as they are not going to be collectible in that sense. You said it yourself - there are too many of them. It is a hugely accomplished car and will hold its price better than the normal 991s but will follow the normal depreciation curve. My guess only.
