I love my car, but I don't use it really as a road car... my concern is, if I sell it and buy a cup, I may not be able to get back into a GT3 road car in future...

It may even close up a touch as the race cars are horrendously undervalued at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I know - Has to be pretty good value at that price having seen and driven it - Its not an immaculate car that would be expected to sell at $210-215K - The owner purchased through Black Rock motors. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the there are so many variables such as how people define condition/issues etc I'd prefer not to drill down in the detail. I will say that the car drove as expected I just like my cars immaculate and happy to pay accordingly. I didn't look any further into the history of the car as it was not what my friend was looking for. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9r Posted 22March, 2018 Report Share Posted 22March, 2018 I know it’s a different market than here, however the figures still make interesting reading. Excellence mag did a market update on the GT3’s recently and figures for cars in excellent condition were USD: 7.1 GT3 $105,000, 7.1 GT3RS $125,000 7.2 GT3 $130,000, 7.2 GT3RS $145,000 What is interesting to me is the %delta between the GT3’s and the RS. As pointed out by Scott it is in another universe here... any logical explanation Guys As for what’s the better car... they are all awesome and far more capable than us so just go and buy one and enjoy it however you use it because that’s why you brought it in the first place (well I hope it was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any stories? https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2008/SSE-AD-4670370/?Cr=0 Very cheap so in P land that means it must have been bashed and crashed, rolled, reshelled with non matching engine and gearbox with over revs and holes from the old roll cage front legs and dash mounted Tarmac rally gismos, owned by a chain smoker and running Nankang tyres. Oh did I mention hail damage. And it's white, maybe it used to be a cup car.........Ahh, no wonder it's cheap. in fact, I have NFI ?

Stab in the dark - they would've been about half the price of a road legal GT3 I believe 996 cup was 250K new in 2003. The road car was 240K. As the greed of the government has increased, the road car new prices have crept up. I think a 991.2 cup is just shy of 300K new versus about $350 (plus options) for the road car. 38 minutes ago, brian in buddina said: this may be a stupid question but... can a cup car be licensed for road use? road-rally rego would be the only way. Then you'd need to fit radiator fans and some sort of clutch that can handle traffic. There's an entertaining youtube of a guy in the UK thrashing his 997 cup on the motorway.

Troubleshooter Posted 23March, 2018 Report Share Posted 23March, 2018 Well there you go, as I said stab in the dark pricing, I based it upon when I was looking at Fezza 360's and a new unused race one was 90k and the used road ones were 100 - 140k - many years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which subsequently came up for sale when said member moved to Hong Kong or Singapore or something. Rare as rocking horse poo here.

Jason A Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 My understanding is 14 were delivered. Was 10, but 4 additional after original allocation. 7 delivered in Adelaide- none in Qld. Info from PCB, I was chasing one a few years ago. They are out of my price range now. Will make do with the Auto Art one in my display case. Amazing car and deserves its place in history ?

sleazius Posted 25March, 2018 Report Share Posted 25March, 2018 Interesting, my info came from PCM but this was while cars were being delivered. Nothing to say extra allocation wasn’t granted after the fact. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 3April, 2018 Report Share Posted 3April, 2018 Only 2 x 7.1's on the market now: $165K - 2007 - WOVR reported https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2007/SSE-AD-5058332/?Cr=0 $225K - 2008 https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2008/SSE-AD-4047460/?Cr=1 I am thinking long and hard about selling mine lately, mainly due to lack of use... what do we say a "good, honest car" is worth? Always tracked, well maintained (although 1st owner didn't document it very well), Aussie delivered, 2 owners only, no stories, Lapis blue, 55kms After 5 years of GT3 ownership, I am starting to think about other Porsche avenues Ozvino, micknine01, hugh and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
