GT3 prices going up

I've been following it as well, the only ones that have sold at close to these prices are a low-spec one from Chester OPC at around £130k and a high mileage one from East London at £128k. Both were non Cubsport FYI.
This seems to be the first time since early 2021 where good spec and low mileage cars can be had for around £130k or less. I think around £120k they would be a great buy and they have been that low in the past so there's no reason why they can't revisit it as prices slowly decline with time.
I think these 991.2 cars are the sweet-spot in the Porsche range in terms of performance per £ and are finely balanced for a split of road and occasional track use. The 992 is obviously better but the price jump is huge and I'm nowhere near being able to afford one of those on the open market and my chances of an allocation are less than zero with only a Boxster S in my Porsche history.
I've also looked at 600LTs, even test drove a Spider and have actively followed the sports series thread as it's also a serious consideration as it is arguably the better car and more "exotic", which makes sense when you compare their new list prices and the ability to drop the roof or rear window adds another dimension to the experience, so they are a bargain, along with the 720s which is also similar money. What put me off one was that this would be my first purchase of car this value, so I thought it would be best to ease myself in with a car that had fewer things that typically went wrong (e.g. door hinges, paint, suspension components, electrical glitches). I still haven't ruled one out as it's more of a heart vs head decision with McLarens, which is why they're so popular. Obviously the GT3 isn't perfect but I'd feel more confident that I'd be able to jump in any day of the year and go for a drive without any warning lights/messages. I had an Exige 410 that I drove to the South of France with my partner, but it involved a detour to Lotus in Monaco to sort out an O2 sensor and a passenger door release that snapped on the ferry, so I've come to value bulletproof reliability quite highly in my search.
I assume you've seen this comparison which is quite insightful:
Another german competitor to the 991.2 GT3 is an AMG GTR, similar performance and more road usable and can be bought for much less nowadays
Since when did a 991 GT3 weigh over 1700kg?This seems to be the first time since early 2021 where good spec and low mileage cars can be had for around £130k or less. I think around £120k they would be a great buy and they have been that low in the past so there's no reason why they can't revisit it as prices slowly decline with time.

I’ve been offered 5k less than the list price I paid for mine (2018 991.2 with 15k miles and comfort spec) so prices are still strong in the trade .
Is that an OPC and has yours got ceramics F?franki68 said:

Is that an OPC and has yours got ceramics F?5k below is great bid considering it’s age.
McLaren is every 12 months servicing and a 12-month warranty was 4k last year.Having said that, you can haggle with the dealership. I dealt with Mac Manchester and got an extra 24 month warranty on a GT and 10k off, paid my 5k deposit and it was only when we double-checked the warranty did we see that Mac has now stopped their ferry travel on their used warranty but is still active on new manufacture warranty.I declined as the car would have to go on a trailer to get onto the ferry, dealership repaid my deposit without hesitation.

Px in against a Ferrari will go in your favour.
5k below is great bid considering it’s age.
I thought it optimistic as well ,but a quick check on motorway gives me a similar price .5k below is great bid considering it’s age.

Sounds like it could be a good time to sell, nice to see you have enjoyed it considering your miles. What Ferrari are you thinking of replacing it with?
No Ferrari for me ,tried a couple but they are not for me .My miles are odd ,I did 9000 in the first two years but several operations limited my opportunities to use it the last 3 years .
Probably end up with another 911 of some form to replace it .
