sleazius Posted 28October, 2018 Report Share Posted 28October, 2018 It was more about the US economy than anything. The vast majority of those cars are in the US. When people were paying $50k USD ADM on a RS because of the wait lists, why not cash in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon02 Posted 27November, 2018 Report Share Posted 27November, 2018 Playing around with the idea of trading my 7.1 CS manual with 11,000kms on the clock for a 7.2....3.6 vs 3.8, front lift and centrelock wheels; has anyone driven both to provide comparison/feedback? This one looks peachy - https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-911-2010/OAG-AD-15460545/?Cr=26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzStriker Posted 2December, 2018 Report Share Posted 2December, 2018 That black one has been for sale for a very long time, probably six months now. Stage 4 overrevs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being black it’s always hard to start with, but said dealer should know better. It needs a 3 stage cut minimum if not a paint correction.

For $190k, I’d expect a cleaner body and not to have to re trim seats, steering wheel and gear knob. I’d also expect original centre caps, probably not worn slicks on the car, incorrectly placed fire extinguisher etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I remember seeing it 14 months ago and the paint was typical of a car that had done some track days without any protection, I had spoken with Doncaster in the last 6 months whereby they indicated they had done some paint work however I have not seen the car since.

edgy Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 So toward the end of 2018, the 997 GT3 market is down to: Mr Yellow @ AH - https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2008/OAG-AD-16311104/?Cr=5 Mr I've been asking $225k since 2016 - https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2008/SSE-AD-4047460/?Cr=6 Mr Scotch-Brite™ 7.2 - https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2010/OAG-AD-15460545/?Cr=7 Looks like the supply is drying up, how's the demand?

I don't know... to me it seems the 997 is in this awkward limbo mode between not the latest and greatest and not a classic I was looking for a car over a year ago and never got a reply from Mr 2016 . I tried several times . They all seem to sell . I think Mr Yellow is an acquired taste while people always say they love the colour they never seem want to actually pay the money and own a yellow car . For me I have considered to get the latest and greatest but just can't seem to want to part with my current car . I think I will keep it long enough to become a classic edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symsy Posted 11December, 2018 Report Share Posted 11December, 2018 Good cars are still being traded , we have the stale cars of the market on offer , it. Is changing market but. I have been looking for a few 150+ cars for friends and many cars at this price level they are all sitting ... RS prices have shifted downwards , I would love to grab one of those tasty cars , some have dropped 50-80k As for 997.1. A 25k spread is nothing for a good maintenance outlook or a car with fresh service , brakes and tyres 200-225 is still the money for plum cars I feel . edgy and SS 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 12December, 2018 Report Share Posted 12December, 2018 I really think that the 997.1 and .2 GT3's are held in the upmost of respect by the Porsche fraternity World wide which in-turn will help underpin values moving forward. The 997 has numerous attributes that emotionally connect you with the car; I own a 997.2 for these reasons. Classic it is not however that said technology is moving so rapidly right now making 10 year old cars seem like they are truly from by gone era. symsy and edgy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
