luzzo Posted 7April, 2020 Report Share Posted 7April, 2020 Seems like that great looking 997GT3RS is now gone. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2007-Porsche-911-GT3-RS-997-Manual-MY07/SSE-AD-6214981 Been for sale for such a long time, it's interesting that it would now sell in this environment?

It’s more about the seller for me. Unless he is oblivious to the current circumstances, listing now suggests a need to sell. Otherwise you’d just sit on it surely. And if he has to sell, how quickly does he need to sell. The small pool of cash buyers are probably right to be tight fisted with their cash right now. If he is not desperate it will likely languish or get pulled. There is a slim chance that a buyer has been waiting forever for a neat black CS to appear and will jump on it...🤔. Having said that, health conditions appear to be trending well such that the community concern may dissipate sooner than we all thought but I still thinks it’s a while before we return to “normal”. wilson59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed . I think to get things sold currently especially for a car like this it needs to be presented as a bargain . Only 4 months ago a car of the same spec with less km and cheaper sat on Richmonds show room floor for over 6 months The guy with the white 997GT3 for $275,000 is obviously suffering a serious head injury or has no idea of the market . Who with a sound mind could possibly look at the market and see that a better car of the same colour with less km has not found a new home in 4 years and is 50 K cheaper . Strange marketing to get a car sold James P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand some people are hurting right now, but there is many who are not, or even thriving at the minute, and there is so many other factors and/or circumstances that can lead to a decision to sell. It really seems crass to draw that conclusion to the Covid shaped elephant in the room... So we do we all just start taking pay cuts too “because of the market” Not a shot, I’m trying to understand how the rationale can be applied so broadly? 28 minutes ago, wilson59 said: The guy with the white 997GT3 for $275,000 is obviously suffering a serious head injury or has no idea of the market .

So GT3s normally attract a small pool of buyers...........right now the world is upside down, new car sales are already off 20% or more. Porsche was down 20% in Q1 before this chaos really took hold. It’s probably the worst economic conditions we’ve seen for a decade or more. Business owners and employees in lots of areas are fearful. I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong, let’s see what happens.

I agree,l it's far too early to assume this is a Covid related sale. Yes the car is possibly 10-15% above the realistic buy price, however probably no finance, based on its age and the seller may be on the market for all sorts of reasons including cashing up for other Covid related opportunities. The Covid related deals are still to come I'm thinking. edgy, SS 3 and DJM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have a brand new 2019 RS with mega buck MR upgrades (or maybe just a subset of the kit, a few tweaks?) for $399k and at the same time a 2016 RS listed at $435k..... if you had $400k in your pocket, do you buy.......or wait. Apparently Covid impacts are not evident yet so I guess we wait.......🤔 Perfect car to go bang out high 1:30s around Pi.

sleazius Posted 7April, 2020 Report Share Posted 7April, 2020 They were approximately $435k drive away no options. It is relatively lightly spec'd - approx $5k in options. $4-6k in PPF depending on what was used. $2.5k for tyres Hard to tell what else was spent. The main question is what exactly was done by MR? firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
