firstone Posted 6January, 2020 Report Share Posted 6January, 2020 Tyre kickers. Public auction craze started all that shyt i rekon. Everybody thinks they're gun buyer without spending anything. Brag with other wankers with the same mission about what a dick the seller was so i didn't buy it. It's a fuchn sport. You only need one buyer that actually wants it.

Even more reason why good cars are sold off market. Once they hit carsales you open yourself up to a world of morons.

Thanks Theo yeah priced to sell in the market like everything open to negotiation. Would have loved to have sold off market to a member or enthusiast as it is a great car, and would have kept if I had the means...It was sold however fell though at the last minute as the guy was a moron. maybe a time of year thing, see what the new year brings.... hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not across .2s but I did follow .1s for a while and they appear to have flat lined for at least the last couple of years. They settled at high 100s and stay there even as 991s fell from 300 to nearly 200 now and 996s grew to mid to high 100s. It’s not far off 996, 997, 991 all being pretty similar in price. i say this because in August ‘17 i very nearly bought a while 07 997.1 GT3 CS from RSR. I reckon I could have bought it for $180k (list was mid to high 180s I think). I ended buying a GT4 instead for slightly more. Haven’t really seen any 997s below that level since but nor have they jumped up. The current cars listed are in the 180s to low 200s as they were when I was looking. This one has been on market the whole time at 225k, it has just sat there bookending the top of the price range for 2.5+ years. I reckon the owner forgot its there bottom end is the orange peril written off car at $145k mentioned above but it’s an over priced outlier for obvious reasons we need not discuss again 😂 2008 Porsche 911 GT3 997 Manual MY08 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2008-Porsche-911-GT3-997-Manual-MY08/SSE-AD-4047460 edgy and Troubleshooter 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the what looked to be a very clean 997.1 gt3 in white that I posted to you about 3 months ago in Perth that was initially asking 150k that I offered to test pilot on your behalf in the Perth hills. I thought what's the catch at the time and super zoomed in on every photo and it looked a much cleaner car than the red one at circa 165k at Richmonds in SA that took a while to sell and everyone was banging on about how cheap it was and surprised it had left the building at that price much earlier.. The Perth car apparently had all dealer stamps, major service just done at dealer circa 50k on the clock and fully detailed. If I recall, correctly, owner was very forward in the ad saying bring on any ppi. Appeared to very a clean car even for polishers and to me it indeed was very well polished for the photo shoot for the car sales ad. Reckon that car sold in around a week or two. With that as a reecent reference point, ( been tracking prices at the low end as well) to me, a bit puzzled a few opined your view of circa 120k for the white / orange peril / previous WOVR / jig saw puzzle of a history was a low ball market talking down insulting view of whats it worth. For me relative to that Perth car, even if that had been previously written off ( pretty sure it wasn't) a much cleaner car and reckon 120 max is spot on for the white / orange peril and like you, a WOVR would not be an issue to own if priced right. Each to their own what they are worth, but surely a WOVR is not a mere 5k discount on a non WOVR using the Perth car ( 150k asking) . as a good car to compare against with both cars being similiar build years and base colour. Did anyone on here pick up that Perth outlier ( way too cheap if your already vested?) and been silent so they can flip it down the track with some upside or was it a bucket of crap in terms of drive train or had some panel damage that was repaired really well but avoided being put on a WOVR, i.e a far away princess. PS If some think 120k is a low ball insultation offer on that white / orange peril, look up what what glass's guide consider the trade in range on 997.1 gt2 is worth, noting they have no views on a 997.1 gt3. But surely a gt2 is worth more than a gt3 ( gt3 rs's excepted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be about right although its very hard to pin point with very little open market transactions over the past 12 months. (GT3cs) At the moment it appears 996 sellers are holding tight at 135 - 150's 997 as above the down pressure is coming from the 991's .1's anywhere from very low 2's with the .2's now appearing below 300k DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedpest Posted 10January, 2020 Report Share Posted 10January, 2020 I certainly agree that most cars sell “off market “ and it seems a lot on the open market hang around for quite a while. Has the white 997.1 with the sunroof been discussed/been looked at? Been on the market for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
