wilson59 Posted 9August, 2018 Report Share Posted 9August, 2018 9 hours ago, Mafia88 said: When I was trying to purchase a gt3 last year I enquired on this one. It was very strange as it was with a dealer but being sold privately. When I enquired about getting it inspected I was told I could only use “their specialist” for the inspection. Everything about the process, car and seller put me off. Splashing circa $200k on a car and not being able to have it inspected by an unbiased party turned me away. Not saying it’s a bad vehicle as I never saw it, but unfortunately this bloke has not run the best advertising campaign. And I offered more than the $188k he had it up for. Anyway, glad I didn’t buy as I found another in the colour I really wanted and close to immaculate. The car is actually priced really well today but to be honest if the car was given someone with a little more experience in selling and marketing and a decent detail this car would have sold a long time ago . The car presents as filthy even in the pics . symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 10August, 2018 Report Share Posted 10August, 2018 Update to my previous info - Apologies The car was sold 12 months ago Observation - The current owner moving it on within a year makes it look like it was never sold. Apparently the car has had a PPI at Porsche Brighton recently and a couple of offers have been rejected. My Opinion If I were to market this car - I'd get rid of the carbon air box and wing bits and pieces - detail it properly - I'd consider changing wheel colour back to the sliver - Have a photographer take some awesome pics and ......if I got it at the right price probably keep it and drive the hell out of it ? hugh, g_match, Troubleshooter and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honostly do not know all I can say is what I do when I buy a used car For this kind of money or rarity I really do my homework which does take a bit of time but hey that’s just me. - I talk with the current owner - I verify service history making sure it makes sense (Most GT3’s will) - I track down and try and talk with previous owners - piecing together the history as I go if things meet my criteria up to this point I express interest based around a positive PPI completed at an authorised Porsche dealership. - only then do I negotiate for real I have been reminded recently that forums are a great place for sharing information and supporting fellow enthusiasts at all levels however if you are committing large sums of money on a car make sure you do your own Due Dilligence what ever form that takes.

GRK930 Posted 12August, 2018 Report Share Posted 12August, 2018 Yeah I agree. First time I have liked a car the more I drive it. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could get a group of gt3’s together for a nice drive.

I think 210k for a clean clean car is good buying. The other cars that under that , have histories or impatient owners and have moved them on .. dealers maybe trading them 180-200k , I havent seen any peachy CS or heard of them going sub 200 Slightly left of field but also giving you an idea of what goes on behind the wholesale/dealers curtain , is the GT2s for sale , there is a 997 on the market at 350k on carsales https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2009/SSE-AD-5351849/?Cr=7 , they guy quotes the wholesalers and dealers messing him around , when the nearest car is up for sale at 440-495k in the , im sure the reality of the numbers would be the same if applied pro rata to the GT3's. All philosophical but I believe June 30 and also the mild glut with the 991.2 manual being available also has fractured this market , albeit temporarily . I have driven a shit load of cars an these are very very unique .. I think many will realise that after parting with them. I would have a tring 997.2 and my harder CS 997.1 if I could .. oh an of course my 993 Reality is for this for those that have head these cars since 2015, they arent loosing real money 997.1 were at 150k , they have all bubbled and mostly the RS 997 that were 210 are 350k-450k … really they are special but that much growth…..??? I feel the RS prices in particular are prematurely unwarranted , maybe in 10 years time.. Shit I would want one in my garage but at what price!! I sense some of the bubble riders may have to get slightly deflated.. The bubble buyers , may have to hold on for their loss to be normalised .. Paying 50 for on a previously 150k car bringing 997.1 to 200k arena isnt so bad , but paying 150k+ for the RS premium lunacy, someone wallet is gonna get hurt ..

From my side of the fence it’s the other way around I wouldn’t trust the paper it’s written on from pcb and that’s from direct experience across 3 seperate PC dealers. The independent guys are porsche enthusiasts with a depth of knowledge and it’s their own business, Say no more. great buy if you can afford to roll the dice.... anyone want to buy a 997 4S?...
