Some crazy high prices knocking around for top spec 991.2 GT3s lately. Shows how much the expected mass availability of 992 was causing downward pressure on prices. Combined I suppose with the very incremental improvements of the 992, 991.2 prices are rising
Certainly some high asking prices and not a lot of cars for sale....it might be more the demand for cars rather then specifics of 991.2 GT3 vs 992 GT3 to be honest. Time will tell !
Yep the writing was on the wall and forcast this obvious rise last Summer whilst the usual naysayers were predicting they would be back to basic list ££ lol. biggrin:

Anyone panicking selling a proper spec 991.2 GT3 last Autumn unfortunately would now have taken a bath and don't think we have even started yet on achievable prices with lockdown easing Spring and the warmer weather together with track season fast approaching.

Main driver of these much higher prices is clearly the severely restricted number of proper spec cars for sale and relatively lukewarm reception thus far of the marmite 992 with the same engine as the 991.2 giving effectively no performance gains whatsoever but at a much higher price. How the unfortunate rapid spread of Covid throughout Europe specifically Germany further restricts the already limited number of cars being produced and availability for the UK remains to be seen but any probable cutback in numbers this will clearly drive prices of any 'used' /flipped 992s stratospheric which will in turn give a further boost to 991s.

The official roadtests of the 992 will certainly make interesting reading.
I was actually expecting this too happen, and I don't give a crap about prices. Its just the 992 is not cutting it, yet!

If any test mag downgrade its exhaust audio then it will make the 991.2 mega desirable.

Whats going on with the 991.1 , sorry, too lazy to look

Not unexpectedly K the 991.1 is showing similar percentage rises and later late letter newer replacement engine swap good spec cars in particular are selling straightaway often before being advertised.

Worth noting though demand is very strong and expected to continue just like last year across all used car sectors high end medium sector and vanilla fleet/lease mainly due to severe restrictions on supply coupled with general lockdown affluence.

Back to this thread after a few days. I think that signal car looks amazing.

Apologies Juno, my comment wasn't fair - jumping to conclusions. I hope you find yourself able to buy it back shortly and enjoy in good health.

tiny detail, but, does anyone know why the configurator shows the shift pattern on top of the gearknob in a dodgy looking yellow colour? can't seem to change it in the options

Is it to "compliment" the yellow GT3 badge adjacent to the gear leaver ??

Agree but I await with baited breath what MH and HC make of the new car.

Two quality journos who know what they are talking about in a sea of shouty diluted and tedious 'soschal meeja wannabees.' biggrin:
