NBTBRV8 Posted 8May, 2019 Report Share Posted 8May, 2019 .1 prices have stabilised, but admittedly they are still very slow selling. .2 prices are a bit all over the shows but the general trend is they are falling in line with the upper car market. I too want a manual. 2 GT3, but am happy to have bought and still experiencing my .1 GT3 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume you could crunch a 299k deal here given lots of them on market how long before they start to list in the 2s and then what happens to the mid 200k 991.1s with their 10 (or is that 9 or 😎 year engine warranty 🤔 looks like the days of getting a GT3 allocation to flip for a profit are long gone, I assume these were $400k ish new? Back to "normal" depreciation with is good Great for buyers Doug combination of soft economics and the fact that they produced as many of these as the market wanted .....Oh we found another allocation slot 😂😂😂 Like the 991.1. Average price the 991.2 new with a few options was around $375K drive away with $358K being the cheapest. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black one has approximately $30k in options on it for those that are interested. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only 991 they've made which was 'truly' in limited numbers was the R... we've never seen so many GT3 and RS cars, GT2RS etc... I have not bothered to search the stats, but I am confident its quite a good number more than previous generations, which in my opinion is ok that they made enough cars as they had buyers, its an enthusiast car after all... but the US is at the point dealers have inventory gathering dust, yet still asking over MSRP!

Mick Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 What’s people’s opinions on 991.1 RS vs 991.2 GT3 ?? Which is the better one to own. Personally I still love that RS badge for similar money and yes track days will be applied. DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough one, but for similar $$ at present, I would buy RS...and just because they made a lot doesn't detract from the fact its an RS.

Personally I still love that RS badge for similar money and yes track days will be applied. Personally i'd have a 991.2 GT3 over a .1 RS for similar money. 3 or 4 years newer, less shouty which suits me (I'm not a fan of those front guard gills) and in my hands, I reckon I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference or go any faster round a track despite the myriad of detail changes on an RS. Still torn between faster PDK vs more engaging manual. Hate to admit it but probably have to go PDK, it's incredible on track (see Matt Close in Targa.....wow). For me the .2 GT3 Clubsport is the right balance of track focused look without feeling like a complete tool going to get the milk on a Saturday morning in your lava orange RS 😁. Meanwhile, the real question is which one to hire - doing another Spa, Nurburgring junket April/May next year 991.1 "RSR" https://www.rsrspa.com/car-rentals/porsche-gt3-991-rsr-edition Or 991.2 https://www.rsrspa.com/car-rentals/porsche-gt3-9912 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well driven GT3 will keep up with a .1 RS on track no problem and will be a bit easier to drive on the road.

Doug you crack me up..... horses for courses though, an RS is the ultimate racers expression of the Race Car for the road!!!! and yes its loud and bold and it certainly takes a personality that doesn't care about judgements to drive one. BTW If your going to rent/thrash drive one of those hire cars around the ring then I'm sure you can handle driving it to the local shops 😂😂. I buy the GT3 or GT3RS as an experience car - ie when you drive it I want that total involvement with the car I want engineering excellence, noise, road feel, exhilaration, something that may bite, the RS and a bright colour just amplifies this experience so who gives a rats what other people think, indulge and enjoy it I say!!!!! I too like the idea of a stealth GT3 with the CS buckets which is the touring for those daily runs and winery tours with the wife however to me the GT3 is the Club Sport Pack the wing anything less just doesn't do it for me... So -- Daily and winery tours 991.1 S man (or 992) with suspension and exhaust mods - Car for the racers experience - GT3CS (man for me). - Next level experience ---- GT3RS (remembering experience does not always mean a massive performance increase) Unfortunately you can't have it all in one car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a 996.2 CS gt3 and absolutely love it but I want something new school fast for the track I’ve done plenty of circuit racing in quite a few different categories and the RS is just something that draws me in. Don’t particularly care what people think about the loud out there look of the RS if you can catch me then you can call me a wanker 😂😂 but this is a car for me not everyone else so 👌 Troubleshooter and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vin Posted 9May, 2019 Report Share Posted 9May, 2019 RS is the most dedicated track car that can be driven to the circuit. GT3 is a better compromise for those who need to take their car for a milk run. 😛 hugh and edgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 10May, 2019 Report Share Posted 10May, 2019 I'm planning on picking up a Cadbury RS despite my engine reservations when the arse falls out of them.

I like your thinking... and I have been really impressed with the 986 Boxster, I really think we could see a 981 PDK base car in our future. sleazius and firstone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1q2w3e4r Posted 10May, 2019 Report Share Posted 10May, 2019 Same, I'd love a Violet Crumble one. Issue I have is punting two cars for 1, probably makes sense from a running cost aspect but our little one loves going in the back of the TT that doesn't have the scaffolding. It'd also be a step back in straight line pace an HP. Big wings, aero goodness and crazy paint schemes = win though! sleazius, vin and firstone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But UV is so rare, LO was just popular for new car buyers, I guess this was because it was the launch colour from memory. Black also is up there for me too.
