GT3LOUI Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 The most expensive used GT3 for sale in Australia at the moment is a series1.996. How about that!!! Granted, it has 125kms on it. That is one hundred and twenty five people. It may have the lowest kms of any one of its type in the world! Conversely, What a shame its never lived... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2000-porsche-911-gt3-996-manual/OAG-AD-18668204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 Pretty sure it’s the only 996 GT3 for sale at the moment on CS as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suspect it’s just been parked up. I believe it was a “spare” and obviously not needed. The owner does have plenty to choose from so I’d suspect most of his cars have few kms on them.

James P Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 2 GT3's were purchased for GTP nations cup racing but he decided to run Dodge vipers instead, one of the GT3's was left in the shed no big deal... i was part of the team & a few other GTP teams that had 2 cars luzzo, LeeM and hugh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod C Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 Years ago when I was involved in equestrian circles Rusty's blonde haired wife rocked up one day in a bright pink truck with all the bells and whistles that he had built for her. As he always had most of his toys painted black including the plane until it crashed everyone from that day referred to them as Barbie and Ken. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstone Posted 17September, 2020 Report Share Posted 17September, 2020 Dunno, the world has a lot of people in it. Like most sales, you'll never know what it goes for. Can't hurt the value of his brother's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3LOUI Posted 18September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 18September, 2020 I too thought $390k was delusional. I also thought 2mill was unachievable for a gt2, but a 993 went for in excess of that a couple of years ago. Assuming it's the only one in the world with 125kms, and considering they are asking 390 during a global recession, in ten years, who knows what it could be worth? 1 million??? In that case, and also considering it is the first Porsche landmark car of the modern era with a lot of firsts and limited production numbers, and 1 mill is not out of the question in a decade or so. And as firstone said, it can't hurt the exposure and price of its better used brothers. I'm also surprised to see its the only one for sale in Australia. Additionally, There are only 2 996. 1's for sale in the UK. Does that mean people are starting to see the potential and hold on to them? Time will tell...

firstone Posted 18September, 2020 Report Share Posted 18September, 2020 Funny thing perception. When i was 20 something a mate's father was selling a spec build he was living in while building another. He was listing in the 400s and had little interest. I knew nothing and joked, 'put the price up'. He did by 100k or something and it sold in a week. No good to me. I'd have to live in it. Which would be ok if it didn't have a bloody scaffold. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, How good would it be to have a ball driving it for few years, and still make money at the end 🙂 I'm working on the thesis that when I get sick of changing gears, or arthritis sets in, I'll be able to swap it for a couple of year old 992 PDK (or whatever the next model is to be called)........

Harsh Posted 21September, 2020 Report Share Posted 21September, 2020 My old man and his brother used to sell apples out of the back of their utes, picked/bought from the same orchard in the hills of Perth. They parked both vehicles on the same street out front of their house (opposite sides) one had a for sale sign $2.00 a bucket and the other $2.50 a bucket ....guess which sold out first?

StevepGT3 Posted 21September, 2020 Report Share Posted 21September, 2020 Or, consider it a new GT3 and maybe it is priced accordingly,if you prefer that model over the newer ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
