There was some great information on here that I wanted to thank everyone for and I feel peoples' perception of 997 GT3 market values is pretty much spot on... I listed my vehicle about 2 weeks ago and it was snapped up within 48 hours with transaction pending... 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 997 Series II Manual MY10 (carsales.com.au) From a seller's point of view I just wanted to add the following to the many great points made here by other members that might help other sellers (and buyers alike): - Contrary to the belief that interest rates etc have killed the market, there are plenty of keen buyers out there for clean cars priced correctly. In just over 2 days, there were almost 20 enquiries on my vehicle. Sure, there were some people looking for a bargain but equally there were many keen buyers who appreciated what was being offered and prepared to pay a reasonable price. - The reality is that the crazy covid prices are gone as many have pointed out. Sellers have to adjust their expectations. If you've bought high, you can't expect others to make the same mistake to make it right for you. There are far too many 997.1 cars asking more money than mine and the remaining 997.2 GT3s are insanely priced (with the greatest of respect to them). - If you've got one of these vehicles for sale and the phone isn't going crazy you've really got to consider whether you've priced your vehicle correctly. Cheers You had priced your car correctly. It was clear from the start your car would sell quickly . I also spotted 997.1 GT3 priced very low $200K last week. That car sold quickly as well . 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc968cs Posted 4November, 2023 Report Share Posted 4November, 2023 Well done. Seems you got a good quick exit. I didn’t see the price - what was it roughly sold at? 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, hoping to get myself into a 992 RS if a later allocation can be secured otherwise likely a 991.2 RS. After 13 years of driving pleasure I felt it was time to scratch the digital itch... I know there will be regret but that likely would have been the case had I not tried a newer generation car 😬 SS 3, Joz, GTP911 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no doubt about this in regard to track use...100% My main reservations are around their usability on the streets and the fact that PDK is no match for a good manual when used for country drives IMO. Have done four-week European deliveries with a US friend in both a 991.1 and 991.2 RS. The 991.1 was comfortable on the streets, the 991.2 was a handful on B roads although it carved up autobahns and racetracks like few other cars I've been in. The 992 might well up the 991.2 on firmness and therefore compromise street use further, time will tell. The 997.2 platform was the perfect balance for street and track when dialed in, just short about 70hp 😁 luzzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me i know the performance is there so don't need to seek that validation everything else I can live with. I've owned Macan S for 6 years so familiarity is there. Ecstatically they are very beautiful, Definitely would hand over the money if one comes in right spec and price. My preference is for one with aero kit I guess it stands out bit more from all the other 992s. But I've only seen one through window at Ferrari dealership and that was sold before I had chance to even enquire. Plan is to keep looking(GT3s included) If nothing comes up might pull trigger on the new uglier 992.2 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
