I just don't get why people go with a matt finish and make their high end car look like it was painted by a teenager in the back shed. Not a fan either, but you can pull it off and get it redone. $6k at this price is a drop in the bucket anyway. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair result? spec - Within $1,500 of last time so I guess the market has spoken, at least as far as that particular car is concerned… Did auction comments indicate whether anyone got an over-rev report in the end?

You can decline with comments so that’s already done 😂. I assume Porsche doesn’t want dealers squabbling over cars so will be interesting to see what happens next. Interestingly the offer was more than that manual on collecting cars achieved so for sure that dude sold below wholesale. Not a great endorsement for CC - was that car over revved or had some other issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have suggested to Carsales a couple of times is that they do very little to encourage the start of a conversation, e.g. sellers should be able to send messages or offers to those who have the car saved in their watch list exclusively. Also I see the new 992 touring was announced today. Big $. For example, https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2017-porsche-911-gt3-991-auto-my18/SSE-AD-7285661 This car went from 333-->325-->345. If it wasn't going to sell at 325, what makes one think it'll sell at 345?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you get a heap of lowballers, so pump the asking price and the lowball gets closer to what you'd sell it for.

Those lurking and following price movements had an opportunity to buy and didn’t so I don’t give a shit what they think. But for new buyers coming into the market, it’s well priced at 345k relative to all the others. To prove that point, I had the “I’m working offshore” buyer try it on immediately after I put the price up………that poor sailor is still trying to pinch someone’s car 😂 On 04/07/2021 at 22:57, Kiwiland7r said: For example, https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2017-porsche-911-gt3-991-auto-my18/SSE-AD-7285661 This car went from 333-->325-->345.

Porsche Sell Direct might increase their offer now……🤔 But seriously my view is these are 320 to 325k cars, they’re all sitting around for that reason. Listed at 345k but I’ll take 320k. But if I say that in the ad then all the goons are back on email offering 295-300. Wife says 315k on road, can’t afford a dollar more as I have too many cars………..yeah whatever, heard it all before and played those cards myself…….no deal. Ultimately, you can think what you like, it’s my car, I’ll do what I want without justifying to you or anyone else.

I subscribe to that…….most cars bought from interstate sight unseen and mostly WA for some reason. I’d driven 991.1 GT3 on track 2017 but never 991.2 and never on road. To be frank, I’m bored with it on road and I don’t want to wreck it on track. My plan to replace the Mazda track car with one dual purpose car hasn’t worked out. And I like modified bastard cars. I just bought the wrong car for me. No big deal, I bought well and I’ll easily cover costs and I’m happy with that.

mc968cs Posted 5July, 2021 Report Share Posted 5July, 2021 Sadly I think market for the 991 GT3 has slowed for at least 2 reasons. 1. Some of the latest car buyers at that end of market drove the new Turbo S…a fair few fell in love and have purchased one. It’s apparently very very good at pretty much everything - much sportier than 991. Some delivered and some still on way but it seems the new cool toy. Multiple 991 GT3 could therefore be getting out and into that new latest and greatest toy. A whole bunch of nsw owners bought them. 2. Second reason is just 992 GT3 is pending, and we are now into ‘changeover time’ for a lot of 991.2 owners of both GT3 and GT3 RS. I don’t think it’s much of a money issue for a lot of them, this is really just play toy money. I think this this slowdown and subsequent price drop in the superseded model happens every time we change up a model. edgy and spiller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
