cafe_racer Posted 23January Report Share Posted 23January That backdate was interesting. Looks to have had lots spent. But I’d say the owner being “overseas” during the auction period and car not available for inspection spooked a few people.

Mike-S Posted 23January Report Share Posted 23January 5 hours ago, JWM said: Looks like they were all passed in ... anyone see the highest bids any of them got to? 993 got to $129,993, but hadn’t got any bids for over 24hrs. I got the email 45 mins before it ended to say the owner had dropped the reserve down, but clearly not low enough. I’m surprised it got to $130 to be honest.

Mondo74 Posted 26January Report Share Posted 26January I liked that 77. Found it odd that it wasn't disclosed as a rhd conversion in ad. Also seller was absent for most of the auction making inspections impossible. cafe_racer and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njb Posted 31January Report Share Posted 31January Does anyone have any information or backstory on this white 997.2 GTS manual? https://duttongarage.com/Porsche-Carrera-GTS~237477 I think it’s been up for sale for quite some time, previously was at CTS last year and now Duttons.

Yes, 100% agree, just sometimes get tired of the attention the GT cars seem to attract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy99 Posted 1February Report Share Posted 1February Duttons have a 997.2 GT3 for 10k less, for sure just buy that. OR buy the PDK GTS on Carsales for closer to 200K. It's a crazy world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know the car (not personally but the history). It was a Brisbane car until now. Was sold out of Porsche Centre Brisbane new, then sold back to them in Feb 2021. They sold it for $250k when it has 10,000km - it was not advertised online as I think Porsche Brisbane wanted to keep the car local, so it took about 6-7 weeks to eventually sell. I looked at it but thought was overpriced at the time, which was a big big mistake....... I actually saw this car last week when I was down in Melbourne and can vouch it is a mint car. I was semi tempted to trade my 991.1 GTS for it but having 2 x 997.2 GTSs at home was a little bit silly...... njb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So - a Manual Aussie delivered low klm 6 Speed is $200K? Not a chance . A mate recently sold a silver one (manual, Aus Del, low klms, good history - but light options) for a LOT more than that.....

There’s a “high” km one languishing at Autohaus for $210k … The black one @AH is IMHO good buying - if it checks out. Know nothing about the car - YMMV. The grey one - highish klms is well, grey - like it seems all of them @edgy ^^^^^ Both low spec = other than looks like 18 ways + SC. The white is THE one. Impeccable history + slicktop (one of only 2 in the country IIRC ) even though low options....... I think that black one that sold (tipper) was an outlier.... esp with those klms. I think you'd have to pay +$250K to get a nice one? ^^^^^^^ ALL the above is prefaced on CONDITION. JWM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I love this one … but not the price. 1 hour ago, on_booost said: I think you'd have to pay +$250K to get a nice one? If 997.1 GT3’s are ~ 220, shouldn’t a Turbo be less? Or are things different in 997 land to 996? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t888 Posted 1February Report Share Posted 1February Imo those kms were low enough to attract collectors/speculators. Price doesn't apply for something with say 130k kms which would be worth substantial less. As for the 996 turbo there are a heap listed around $130k that have been listed forever, and some that were around $100k that seem to have sold. (tip coupe prices). on_booost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't very many. They were substantially more $$ than a GT3 new - and much fewer sold. And yes - previous sales would indicate this is so.

Bugs77 Posted 3February Report Share Posted 3February I bought a white high spec low km 997.1 auto for $189k here in the west, I thought about where it should have been price wise but not a bargain. Couldn't justify the extra cost for a manual and am happy to say that the auto fits the use this car was bought for perfectly, its a beautiful thing. For a manual you GT3. t888, sjm and JWM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
