Watching the market with interest but just as the 4RS is falling I keep watching Spyder RS prices and finding those more tempting.

I suspect these will bottom out very soon and just sit there, Spyder RS just above 4RS.

I can't see either model dropping to 5 five figures anytime soon.

Agree spider looks to be selling better, but values on these are still dropping.

Spring bonce isn’t here, but will be shocked to see these into 5 figures this year.

992 GT3 tourings have dropped about £25,000 since I bought my 4RS.
A couple of years back you could have sold a green ‘Hulk’ Rolex Submariner for over
£20k and they now go for about £13k.
I don’t think the fall in 4rs prices is in anyway specific to the model - it could be said of just about anything

First time I've checked AT in a good while prices seem to be the same as they were when I got mine in December maybe the odd bargain or there.

They will never be cheap enough for some people of course anyone waiting for them to be 100k is dreaming. Look how expensive a 991 GT3 still is.

I have the crap market to thank for mine anyway as I got mine with no buying history no sucking up to dealers or anything. I got offered 3 spec locked cars before Porsche caved and and have me a no strings allocation. Couple of mates have new GT3 RS with no buying history now too. You can just buy one if you want one.

Just buy them and drive them they certainly aren't investments any more and are unlikely to ever be again even the new 911s will never reach the crazy overs again. It's a bit sad that Porsche are still keeping a pretence of unavailability on the GT cars they have an opportunity here to rebuild relationships with actual proper customers.

Given the extremely bad situation they are in at the moment with nobody wanting their electric cars you would think they would be a bit more grateful for the customers that do actually want to buy their cars. We recently replaced a Macan with a Hyundai 5N as the Macan EV is such a poor offering. Having Hyundai as a direct competitor is not good!

Although Hyundai and Kia (they are within the same ownership) are making some very good cars ... look at how well Hyundai tackled the hot-hatch market ... now sorely missed.

Totally agree with your sentiment.
I was in an OPC recently and I enquired about the latest Gen 2 GT3 and the possibility of
a build slot- the salesman then replied that they had 500 names down wanting a GT3 build slot.
PLEASE- 500 folk wanting to spend circa £190k in the current economic climate??
I could only conclude he was talking absolute nonsense

If they asked for a build spec deposit that would narrow the numbers ... how many of the 500 would put up £500 ??

I also find that number very hard to believe. I suspect I could get a GT3 allocation without too much grovelling (as could most people), there is however a massive BUT - the cars are just too dear now. Long since gone are the days of new GT3 at just over £100K - near double that now with some spec plus the near £6K to Rachel from accounts. Not for me I’m afraid….

There's no way one dealer has 500 names down they will be doing every under the counter deal going to get the cars sold at list without having to advertise them. Which is exactly what they have been having to do.

If you consider nearly new 4 RS at 130k and Spyder RS at 135k they represent tremendous value compared to the specced price of a new GT3 . 65% of the price of a GT3 for a 718 RS on that platform! No chance of another “new” GT4 RS or Spyder RS.

Then theres the fact that the Cayman is a fundamentally better car.

Cayman platform is more fun. But many can’t get over the fact it’s not a 911 wink

One dealer with 500 names down for a 992.2 gt3 allocation….if that’s doesn’t sum up the games which have and are still being played I don’t no what does!

GT4 RS might be fundamentally better (and I'm not entirely sure of that), but on track, in mine, when there's a 992 GT3 RS circulating... They might be a lot more money, but they do seem in another league for "fast round corners". Aero and handling look really special, and I'm told quite a bit easier to drive even though that much faster.

The latest GT3 RS is certainly a technical marvel it's a whole quantum leap over the GT4 RS technologically but I bet it's crap to drive on the road and actually probably a bit boring on track doing most of the heavy lifting for the driver.

The big issue for the 911 is it's always dominated by everything being compromised around the engine being in the wrong place. If they stuck all the same aero and engine into a Cayman as the 992 RS it would be faster and better to drive. The GT4RS is still Porsches halo car to me and the regular 718 GT4 probably their finest road car.

Hi All

I’m awaiting locking spec on mine for a September delivery

Question for those who have had a factory order.
What was the gap between locking spec to delivery

Am I right to presume about 12 weeks / 3 months
