PAWGT3 Posted 3August, 2023 Report Share Posted 3August, 2023 I assume most people after a GT3 are after the clubsport configuration rather than a poverty spec car with couches😁 DJM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the point is, at $490k it hasn't moved, and the next cheapest car is nearly $40k more on asking... also with sofas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, Carsales logic in 2023 is: Step 1: List your car for utterly stupid price, like everyone else Step 2: Notice that it doesn't sell. Step 3: Lower it a little bit to a still absurd price Step 4: Notice that it still doesn't sell Step 5: Convince yourself that if it's not selling at either price, may as well keep it listed at the original, utterly stupid price so put it back up (or go even higher). Not sure what it takes for people to make the leap to the crazy idea that ... and stay with me here ... maybe you should put the price down some more to sell it? I can only assume most of what is sitting on there the owners don't really want to sell, unless someone gives them an utterly stupid price? Having said that ... I suppose if you're not some sort of Carsales degenerate that looks at it every day and has a working memory of 500 cars and how long they've been listed, maybe it's just not obvious to a normal person that they shouldn't expect to sell their car for what everyone else is listing them at ... 😅 The problem is the cars that are priced normally and sell do so in like 2 days, so no one actually sees those as a sensible reference ... edgy, 911rox, Yeatesy and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGA Posted 23November, 2023 Report Share Posted 23November, 2023 This car has sat around for quite awhile. IMHO, for the price, it's a pretty basic spec. 4 way seats and plastic dash. There are better specs out there for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknostar Posted 23November, 2023 Report Share Posted 23November, 2023 I feel sorry for this owner. How could you buy a GT3 and then not drive it...

I feel sorry for the person next in line who missed out on an allocation for this guy to spec poorly and park it in the garage for a year... And who specs a touring variant not to tour with?... I had 400km on the clock after the first day with my first GT3...

Should I ever be in a position to spec one new... 😄 Having now been through this process and have come out the other side (sold) I would go about it differently next time round. Hopefully i will get a next time... GT cars (IMO) are supposed to be special and out of the ordinary. You can (and should) spec them accordingly. Meaning tick the options list all over the place, go for a crazy and awesome colour, get the buckets, get the cage, etc. Spending another $30k on a $500k purchase doesn't make any difference except on the day you hand over the cash. Obviously when you tip the car into the first corner at 200kph (PI turn 1) none of the options make any difference whatsoever apart from the bucket seats, but when you are living with it day to day you want it to feel more special than the base spec. Next time i will option: CS pack PTS Carbon roof Extended leather (dash definately) Coloured seat belts / calipers / contrast stitching Illuminated door sills and probably a few other things I wouldn't spend my money on the upgraded sound system again - the lack of sound deadening, thin glass, and rev hungry incredible souding everything made this a ridiculous proposition that was rarely used. PS silver with silver wheels on a GT car is as boring as crap... MFX, cafe_racer, luzzo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
