I for one have never seen so many GT3s for sale at once, i dont think the market will hold up for much longer. Seen that many Gt3's before never seen that many 997.2 GT3 's for sale at one time DM911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe_racer Posted 23August, 2022 Report Share Posted 23August, 2022 I think the potato head guy who runs the Duttons cafe got that car from Porschaden. What was the ask on it? Looked nice in the window! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe Posted 27August, 2022 Report Share Posted 27August, 2022 I sold my Cayman 2006 manual S for $72 k, it had 25,000k on it, a very nice car, Looked around for a replacement, took a MX5 RF 2017 for drive and bought one for $36k. So it handled better, the build quality was better, a far better manual 6 speed gearbox ( no bloody cables), roof retraction system superb, no extended plumbing to a remote radiator simple servicing ,and half the price. Not quite as quick but lighter. So yes the market is well over priced for any Porsche ATM. The Cayman was not my first Porsche, two Boxsters and a 911 before it.

sjm Posted 27August, 2022 Report Share Posted 27August, 2022 Wouldn’t a more direct comparison to the Cayman be the new BRZ/ GR86. I have taken one for a drive and was suitably impressed ( at 1/3 the price of my 997😳)The RF MX5 I drove last year was good but being 6’2” my knees rubbed on the dashboard and was cramped overall.

LeeM Posted 28August, 2022 Report Share Posted 28August, 2022 Maybe I'm too Porsche biased, yet I'm not sure how anyone can compare an MX5 or any Jap car to any Porsche model, as they're completely different cars. Yeah it's half the price, handles better etc etc, but it isn't a Porsche. I understand the price difference, and fair enough if you can't justify spending $60, 100, 200k over a $30k Jap car, but if you want a Porsche, you buy a Porsche and have to pay the entry price. If you want a better handling car and don't care about what it is, then you buy something else. A tuned WRX I've driven that I could have (should have) bought for 11 grand a few years ago would absolutely hose anything I've driven...but it isn't a Porsche. If I want to drive at 10/10ths and be king of the hills, I'll buy a Jap car for 10 grand and tune the shit out of it. sleazius, reggiegums, crsedge and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatesy Posted 28August, 2022 Report Share Posted 28August, 2022 I agree with Lee, I’ve owned and have driven much faster & better handling cars (and all of them were cheaper) but not a single one of them had the character & soul of a Porsche.

sjm Posted 28August, 2022 Report Share Posted 28August, 2022 i guess its a comparison of pure sports cars not hatchbacks/sedans. Also the perceived over priced Porsche market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cayman new is a lot more than the MX5 new, so different leagues. And resale will always be better on the Porsche LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldknees Posted 31August, 2022 Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 Porsche don't miss you with the MY23 price increases. Not sure if this will have an effect on used values. Driveaway in the config, with no options : Base carrera $283K Carrera S $323K GTS $362k All with probably a 18-24 month wait and probably another $20k+ price increase whilst you wait.

Yep, I reckon the base car is the pick here, it's not like any of them are track cars, so the extra power isn't really necessary. Near $100k to go from base to GTS, that's an awful lot of option boxes ticked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldknees Posted 1September, 2022 Report Share Posted 1September, 2022 I agree. Unless your tracking every day of the week - base (for me ) is the way to go. I'm also sceptical of adding sports chrono & sports exhaust. Cost a lot of $ for those if you only use them occasionally. Remember every option costs another 43% (33 LCT & 10% GST).

The GTS gets a handful of extras as standard which if optioned on standard brings the pricing much closer. 54 minutes ago, Oldknees said: I agree.

cafe_racer Posted 1September, 2022 Report Share Posted 1September, 2022 I get it, but I struggle to see what an extra $80k of options included in the GTS does for a 911 that makes it an $80k better drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWY Posted 1September, 2022 Report Share Posted 1September, 2022 I never believe the line the salespeople give saying you will get your money back as highly optioned cars are more desirable when you decide to sell. Load of hogwash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load of hogwash. In the Porsche world there are certain options that can help sell your car faster, but not ones that substantially pay you back their initial outlay. GT cars with CS package for example. Might help you move sooner, unlikely to get any extra money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
