Theres a 964 RS for sale from Cars of Malton for 50 K !!!

you can buy a GT3 MK2 for that !!!

what is the world coming to

The market decides these things, Tim!! LOL.

I think it makes Mk2 996 GT3s outstanding value. It also indicates the rising values of 964 RSs which marks them out as future classics.

People were saying the same thing when the 993 RS became more valuable than GT3s. There are non-CS LHD 993 RSs for sale for 99,000 euros now. Glad I got in when I did.

I better hang on to the GT3 RS then !

[johnny senna]

Well, I don't know? Is it air cooled? If not it will depreciate ike a Dacia Duster.

[timmo]

Should have held on to a VW Variant I had years ago
not much different to a 964 !

Specialist cars of Malton charge way over the odds IMO, always have done.
Who in the right mind will shell out 50k for 964RS?
Stevie Wonder?

They probably said the same thing about 1973 RS prices! Interesting debate though.

Yes but one might argue they are charging 2015 prices in 2007!

serious question to everyone... do you think that the 996.5/997 gt3s WILL be looked at as if they were an 'RS' or do you think that the mk1 996 gt3 will actually be the car to become the classic, with it being produced in lower numbers and because it was porsche motorsport built?

if not then 996.5 gt3s are an absolute bargain from what i have seen..!

Good Mk1s are already the same price as Mk2s... tell tale sign me thinks... that thread on PH a while back about who owned what GT3... Mk1s were the most popular on PH, but how many of their owners will be selling? Far less than those in the Mk2 looking to move on to the next great thing according to the classifieds...

Only once in a blue moon - the PolarExpress doesn't really do in-town very well (or often).

LOL... people hate it when I'm right... I've always said (and STILL say) Mk1 owners are different from Mk2 owners - the choice to buy a Mk1 instead of a Mk2 is something a Mk2 owner rarely understands... (yes, we're all mad/stupid/crazy... )

reading the modslist i would have thought that was the case - i presumed that's why you had the accord! maybe it was a replica there can't be that many cars that look like yours though!

It's possible as I do traverse that section quite often (used to work in Marylebone), although more often nowadays on the Vespa!

There's very few cars, even costing 3 times as much, that are as much fun as a 964rs on the road or track. talking my book? sure. but anyone who disagrees either hasnt driven one or can't drive. £50k for a pink LHD?!?!? nah. not yet

the karmin rot one's usually go for about 5-10% less than a 'less controversial hue' don't they..?
