997 GT3 prices .....
Discussion
Disagree, as there's enough cars available for sale relative to the number of buyers just now. This should not change much over the next few years. It's not like the recent surge in prices of the 94 RS which was made in much smaller numbers.
I'd like to be proved wrong though !

It's been suggested to me (by a Porsche dealer) that prices may harden and possibly start to go back up with the 991 GT3 being launched as PDK only and at a higher price tag than the 997 GT3 had when new.
What do people think?
I agree with this for a number of reasons. In general, I think the firming of values will have more to do with the technological shift than it has to do with the price of the new 991 GT3 which I think is pretty much bang on.What do people think?
Whilst Porsches are rarely sold by traders with anything other than a quick glance at "book" (except perhaps when they're buying your car); the gap between the "book" and what some of the Porsche dealers are charging is amazing!
Speaking to one dealer, I worked out that they will only buy stock in with a minimum of £8K of margin built into the price and ideally over £10K! I know the Porsche warranty and the inevitable paint refresh etc costs money - but that's huge!

That bid/offer is current market for OPC (does include costs for 2y warranty + porsche assist) thoughSpeaking to one dealer, I worked out that they will only buy stock in with a minimum of £8K of margin built into the price and ideally over £10K!

Prices will harden. They always do when a new more expensive model comes out. Happened when the Gen1 997 GT3 was released and also when the Gen2 was released. I just traded my Gen2 to an OPC and got really good money for it.
Good news and yes the Gen II's seem to have been less affected by the dreaded depreciation in the last year! Are you going to get a 991?MadMark911 said:

That's cheap. Ferrari / Lambo will work to £15k to £20kSpeaking to one dealer, I worked out that they will only buy stock in with a minimum of £8K of margin built into the price and ideally over £10K! I know the Porsche warranty and the inevitable paint refresh etc costs money - but that's huge!

LOL! I'm thinking about it OK 
No harm in ensuring I don't step out of it just as prices rocket .... 
I have sent you a PM by the way, have a read when you get chance and give me a ring if you can.
I think its too soon to expect prices to harden for 997 GT3, gen 1 or 2. They will still depreciate similar to the 996 GT3, then level out in my view. What happens after say another 4-5 years is anyone's guess, but as the last of the mezger engine and last of the manual box, and still made in relatively small numbers they will never drop that low. Cars like the 4.0 and GT2 RS will be mega bucks I reckon in 10+ years time.
As always, condition and history will determine value, with the GT cars still being fairly mileage sensitive whether good/bad for the car it's still the case that low mileage is more sought after and will be priced accordingly.
