Nice spec 17 67 2 owner CS Agate red int trim 4.5k PDK sold in a few days at AP £135k.
OPCs have sold 9 gen 2s in the last week and are desperate for stock which is pushing up prices.
The Miami decent spec manual CS 17 67 with 8.4k miles has increased in price from £132k to £134k.
Truly mental car market across all sectors atm and prices £££ reflect this and the resultant demand especially for quality stock.

Really cannot believe people buy these cars and don't drive them, talk of 8k miles being high, mind-boggling.
Mind boggling it aint.This has been discussed numerous times.
8k IS RELATIVELY high mileage for a gen 2 GT3, end of.
If folks want to buy 8k or 12k or even 25k mileage GT3 gen 2s then fine, but understandably they will be and should be quite a bit cheaper ££ than the equivalent cars with 4k miles or lower mileage. And if folks continually bleating about mileage want to pay as much for an 8k mileage car as one with 4k then feel free, crack on. But they never do and are invariably and undoubtedly the first to demand money off if the car has higher than the equivalent average relative mileage car.
If you think GT3s are adversely affected by a bit of mileage, check out Mclaren and Ferrari prices... you are in for a shock.
Thats the market for any £100k+ specialist car and the market sets the price.
It really is as simple as that.

Your totally missing my point which I thought was very obvious , money does not come in to it for me, the driving does .You think 8k on a car is high, then am afraid your sad, but as you say the market dictates,and people who keep a car from new for over 2 years and put 3k on it are even fThis has been discussed numerous times.

ken sadder and does not know that car.These are the tts that will get the 922 allocations and flip them on after they have done 1 lap of a track and becomes experts or sat in the pit lane drinking coffee.I think one of the reasons a lot of these cars have relatively few miles on them is people own multiple cars. Clearly I don't know people's lives inside out but I'd say a conservative 50% of owners of GT cars on here own at least one other "fun" car...whether that's another 911 that's driven as a daily or say something more mundane as a daily then a couple of fun cars. That is quite possibly with the newer cars a consequence of the fact that you need to have bought several cars to get an allocation so those people tend to be the kind of people that own several cars.

Very true C.Most on here get this but unfortunately it may not suit their agenda.

to be fair i have other cars, i also spend around 150 - 180 days a year travelling around the globe for work. well not lately but thats a bonus I'm enjoying 
I'm not mileage shy, just time poor to do so.

Wasn't trying to be rude or personal, If I was then you would certainly know.

Stop getting your knickers in a twist. All I said was that at the price point we are discussing which is about £133k there are cars of same spec but one has 4k mileage and one has double that. Why would you go for the higher mileage one ?
Agreed 3 and 4k cars that are 3 years old is no mileage at all but it's good for us buyers and we cannot begin to understand anyone else circumstances and it's not for them to explain it either.
Anyhow ..... Off to look at one today with 4k miles

Av is right though ,mileage is the biggest single factor in the used value of such vehicles ,just because it’s not right that 8k miles is considered high doesn’t change the actual fact.As has been said most gt3 owners will have other vehicles ,some will feel very precious about the car and only drive them in certain conditions and then you have those who buy on the back of it potentially not losing money and fear putting miles on.
It’s the owners prerogative to do with as they please,it’s their loss not driving the car.

Not disputing that at all.I just cannot get my head around spending 130k plus on a car and not use it.But I guess it will be people like me who will struggle to get a 992 allocation to drive .
