Make sure the wing angle is correct otherwise your back wheels might lift off. That's some wing!

I reckon GT4 has impacted prices. Before you all howl me down, I know, you can't channel your inner Matt Campbell in a GT4, a GT4 is not a 911, mid engine is sacrilege blah and for some only a GT3 will do. I get it. But for a proportion of buyers (like me), it was more about which provided a more enjoyable ownership experience ALL things considered. GT4 typically under 2 years/10,000km old, just as fast and engaging, better balanced, rave reviews online, nicer cabin so has to be a very real alternative to a $200k+, 11 year old GT3 with 4x,xxx kms. Not all buyers naturally, but even if a portion of buyers do what I did, that reduces GT3 demand and prices fall. there are constantly GT3 & GT4 at $215, 220, 225 and more that sit around but those a tad under $200k seem to sell. The next GT4 will be much more expensive I'm told so it's probably a once off 981 impact. heres a thought, new GT4 is say $275k, does that make the GT3 tragic value a 997 GT3 for more than 200k.......ah, who bloody knows.

Your 997.2 GT3 CS in white with platinum (?) rims is a thing of beauty, always really liked them. my white with platinum rims GT4 is younger brother sharing a family resemblance.👍🏻 Yep and back then I was looking at a range of 996 GT3 CS for 85-90k and ended up buying a 996 GT2 for $125k. And I'd not long sold a 964C2 manual for mid 60s. And G body cars were cheap. And...... The whole market shifted up quite rapidly. Yes it could all conceivably go back down again but not sure it will. In 2014 991s were a fairly recent thing but we've now seen several years of big 911s with more and more power, mostly PDK, talk of turbo GT cars, talk of mid engined etc. I doubt very much we'll ever see raw, manual true GT cars again. Rarity normally means value. Most enthusiasts looking for a weekend blaster don't seem enamoured with the current stuff like they are with the older GT cars so my gut says demand will keep prices well above 2014 levels. will be interesting to watch, I don't think anyone can say for sure and I've certainly been wrong on prices before

Nope, gated manual here https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ferrari-360-2000/SSE-AD-3862796

I was thinking the same. I looked at 997 GT3s mid 17. I drove a schmick white CS at RSR, listed at 195k, I reckon I could have bought back then for 185k which was a very sharp price. Somehow didn't set my world on fire when I drove it though so I test drove a GT4 a couple of months later, loved it and bought that instead. Seems to me the market has not moved much in 8 months or so to suggest mid 130s (30% drop) seems VERY wishful thinking.

Not keen on the greens. Signal yellow or stone grey for me, can't warm to the aubergine.

Awesome, I was thinking of entering Targa Tas and along comes a car that's ready to enter (seller says all it needs is a cage and race seats). I better be quick before someone beats me to this bargain.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Looks like it's been to Opposite Lock and had a lift kit fitted for off roading, otherwise looks nice but that would be absolute top dollar for one of these surely? Still feel like they should be $60k......wishful thinking I suppose.

Not much clearly....😂

Fascinates me that plenty of people Will pay $200k for an AMG CLASGLEML 63 and drop $30k driving out of the showroom and another $20k per annum. But when you but a Porsche for $90k its a disaster if soon after it owes you $100k. Personally I’d be stoked to pay $90k enjoy for a while maybe drop $20k in bits and shits and sell for $80k. What price do you put on fun. The whole rising market has skewed expectation to the point of ridiculous. In general cars are a shit investment, if you can’t afford to drop 10-20% invest in property 🤑 i lucked it and with no clue what I was doing I made money on both Porsche’s until now but that wasn’t why I got into it. Then I bought a GT4 which again was not an investment decision - pleasingly it seems to be holding up value wise but if I drop a bit when time comes to sell it was worth it, awesome fun. Can’t think of a better way to burn some $$ (I don’t do cocaine 🤪)

Can't agree. My 964 sold for 25% uplift after 4 months, my GT2 70% uplift after 2 years. In both cases, net off costs and I'm way ahead, even after a new engine for the GT2. There are PLENTY of cars sub $1M that have seen stupid growth(964C2, 996&7 GT3, 996 GT2, 991R etc) that would outweigh holding costs several times over

So if I understand correctly - PCV is for Porsche isolationists in nappies drinking chardonnay and having late lunches with partners chatting about real housewives maserati is for blokes who like to flog around a track with a mix of fast cars and not. Maserati in sight.... hmmm 🤔 Stark choice. They both sound awesome 😂

Clever ad @hugh, the dalliance with the water cooled dark side has come to an end? Looks sensational as always.

Another Maserati member - unlike what you might expect, they are not pretentious and not Maserati centric - in fact I’ve rarely seen a Maserati at their events (too flaky?). They don’t look down their nose at my noisy, raggedy RX7 track car. Good bunch of people to deal with, very welcoming and helpful with well priced membership and well run events

Yeah something is odd with the image the P O R S C H E letters are on the horizontal tucked under the reflector. Can’t be legit.

Looks like some kind of high end boat, awful
