Wheres all the GT3s for sale?

[Digga]

Renewed insurance and, because I'm still (only very slightly) mulling the idea, got a comparison for a 997.2 GT3. Quote was more than my mate's paying for his McLaren 650S spider, so I went and checked the price of those and was surprised. Porsches hold up well.

All Maccas are pants though with regard to residuals.

I still do like them .

Remarkable how prices of all Porsche 991.2GT3/RS prices have shot up in recent months.

Yep even though a couple of the usual naysayers on here still reckon they are still in the mid £130ks.

Top comedy.

Anyone know why white 991.1 gt3’s seem to be 10k cheaper than other colours?

They may be slightly cheaper than equivalent colours on the 991.1 due to excess supply new.

Flat Carrara was the most popular colour ordered on the new 2013 14 15 991.1 GT3s in the Uk in contrast to the 991.2 where it was less popular new with only 72 Uk cars (incl Tourings) out of 622 total.

I've had this in one on my AT watch list for 2-3 months. Whys it not going anywhere? Price seems fair. Is it perceived high miles? Not a main dealer, Shortish OPC warranty? The spec seems good etc etc.

Maybe it has sold and dealer hasn't updated their website ? A

I have an air cooled car which I bought in December. Previous owner bought it in 2007. It is currently on the front page of the dealers website (showing as sold) from 2007 !

Having a very similar car, 2 things.

First not an opc worries me a little in case of problems when buying. Second, finance rates are better with OPC than a lot of indis making ownership more expensive.

Also, they may simply not have updated a sold car as it seems a good spec, price, milage etc.

It does say deposit taken.

Then probably leaving it there as it advertises the company.

^This. Just like the sundry "wanted" ads that clutter up the PH classifieds for the various series and generations of GT3 and RS.

Looks like that car sold a couple of months back. Not unexpected having regard to the price which relatively seems very cheap now. Someone got a bargain.

As others have said the ad remains live presumably for free Company advertising.

Interestingly even the Autotrader advert says the 10600 mileage is 2809 miles above average even for a 2017 GT3.

Well that just shows the majority dont drive these cars if that is high mileage.Quite pathetic really as they are fun cars.

That is clearly not in dispute.

It is high mileage. Relatively. For a GT3. As the advert rightly confirms. And in fact it would also be the same for any other car in this price category. Obviously.

But as has been said a thousand times before many GT3 owners have several cars to use and as it is their car it is quite clearly their choice entirely how they use it. Whether they do lots of miles or very few miles. To suggest otherwise would be frankly ridiculous.

Well at least everyone is selling like hot cakes despite some being over 10-12k miles with multiple owners, it tickles me when the adds say full Porsche Service History, really, 99% hasn't had its second service .
Good spec .1 cars are also making good money on the OPC.This 7 year old one in particular with 21k miles.The seller I would say got in region of 90k, so holding its depreciation well.

If it’s the car I’m thinking of, that’s done some travelling. Was in North Yorkshire this time last year and sold then for sub £160k. Since then it’s been to the south west, the south coast and is now in Berkshire.

How come the touring has had an early second service, thought it was 2 year intervals on GT cars.

2 years or 12,000 miles
