I sold my 991.2 C2S last week as values were strong, and have just put down a deposit on a gen-2 manual GT3. I know i'm buying at the top but life is too short. That engine is worth every penny as far as i'm concerned.
Can't wait !!

You won't regret it! Which one have you gone for?

RPM Technik have just taken in a GT Silver GT3. I looked at the Jet Black one with the lovely tartan seat inserts but couldn't move quickly enough at the time to get it. This one came in 48 hours later. Photos not yet on the site, but the ones i've been sent look stunning.

TF prestige have a silver one at a bullseye under 140k with only 8,700 miles which looks lovely ... but surely now we're into September and approaching winter and the new 71 plate is here the prices are gonna tumble (not sure even I believe what I have written ! ) https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108316...

I’m almost certain that was my friends car. If not it’s a doppelgänger.

Sold 2 years ago for 130 with just under 7k miles on it.

I think its nuts , the 991.2 GT3 I purchased last year is now being sold (equivalent mileage and spec) at £10k more. This is despite the introduction of the 992 GT3. I think that the relatively few cars coming to the UK in the 992 guise are not enough yet to have a knock on effect and their difficulty in trying to buy one is also a factor. This is keeping the 991.2 market buoyant but as the poster above has elluded , winter is coming and sales will slow as per the norm.

this seems really good value in the present market a 2018 gen 2 manual touring, led lights, lift, steels at 160k with 12k miles https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/12092594 .. but LHD does that resally affect the price that much although appreciate we are RHD here ?

Left hand drive comfort spec no extended leather (plastic dash and door tops) and steels.

Looks a touch expensive.

History and owners needs checking thoroughly too.

Stunning nevertheless ...

Precisely...... Left hand drive is a big no no for me. Have to put the whole car on offer to see if an overtake is on or not. Ok I spoke if all you want to do is trackday it or take it on the continent.

Plus all the piss taking for the poverty spec dash !!

Well if you didn't get a 992 allocation ,and with the whole covid thing I expect there will be less 992 gt3s than 991 gt3s,you would have to pay what ....£250k for a 992 gt3 to get one,a 991.2 gt3 at 140-150k is a bargain comparatively.

What's everyones thoughts on their potential values over the next 1-3 years?

Porsche offering a GFV of c.£70k after 3.5Y from about £140k today.

Unless you are getting a nice discount to compensate, why would you use Porsche to finance? Plenty of options out there.

Everyone seems pretty close to 6.9% APR?

So you reckon a car valued at 160k warrants a plastic dash?

If I bought that car for that amount and it had a (poverty Spec) plastic dash, the piss taking would be endless......

Yep, very poor spec considering it is a touring and would have thought the inside would have had all the bells and whistles.

A year ago I remember JZM had a LHD Touring for £150k which took ages to sell. Yes the market has changed and yes it's "cheap for a Touring" but it's a LHD car and to me a Touring is a car you really want to be using every day so if anything I'd want a RHD Touring more than say a GT3 RS. Very limited market for that car I think.

and so back to the theme and JZM just reduced their yellow absolutely exquisite GT3 clubsport .... is this the start of winter and prices tumbling ??... or maybe its just a colour thing ?

Racing yellow always been a slow seller on the 991 GT3.

Most buyers want extended leather too which this car hasn't got with basic placcy dash and door tops.

Interesting topic and market dynamics.

I'm a lucky owner of a 2018 guards Red Manual CS with just 2900 miles on it.

Big question is whether to sell now or to keep and enjoy. Hmmm.

Sell it as you don't use it, let someone else take enjoyment out of it.
