Rick V Posted 17June, 2019 Report Share Posted 17June, 2019 Love the look of a 997 GT3, even more so with my mate having recently purchased a red one. And the red one at Richmonds looks compelling value......only problem is I would have sell my 996.2 GT3 to upgrade, & I couldn’t bring myself to do that! Back to work to earn more $$’s I guess.

The 997 looks very pretty, but the performance step up over 996.2 is not big enough to justify 30-40 grand IMO. 996.2 is aging gracefully! hugh, edgy and Rick V 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been privileged enough to drive both. I think they are different cars. The 996 definitely feels ‘older’. Either way, I love them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 997.1 has a timeless look, its a very nice looking car, always was, always will be... and you are right, the 996.2 is looking better with age, I also think the 996.1 is starting to out edge the 6.2 too in the looks department... it used to be the other way round (I preferred the 6.2 look over the 6.1) 15 hours ago, GRK930 said: I’ve been privileged enough to drive both.

Either way, I love them both 100% agree... having owned both, that is accurate, actually there are times I sit and think about the differences, and the 996 probably stands out more as the "classic" Jason A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Black, appears to be a 003 - $180k ... looks like a good one to go to the track with? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2007/SSE-AD-5097400/?Cr=4 Mr white, 003 car - $210k ... started at a cheeky $235k, perhaps the time on the market and pricing suggest its not an urgent sale? https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-911-2008/OAG-AD-16749478/?Cr=7 Mr?

Literally NO one has told me selling it is a good idea... but I am thinking what I should do to keep me interested with it since I am not tracking it at the moment? I was thinking of a light freshen up, refurb wheels, new tyres, replace or fix worn alcantara, fix radio & climate knobs.. those kind of things? 2 hours ago, hugh said: Sunroof?

This car has gone to Tassie to a long time Porsche person, adding to a collection of very nice cars. My understanding is the sale was forced hence the reduced sale price.
