Possibly ever.. whats the vies on the GT3 market place? I think the 997 GT3 market is in a worse place at present . Comments? I like the spec of that car, its got all the track equipment in place (alas as you say you'd want to check all consumables are within date, not a deal breaker) from the full cage, wheels and steering wheel, it appears to have done track work, which for me, is the kinda example I would buy to drive. I wouldn't think its a good short term speculation given the typical buyer, but long term, these things matter less and less... If you like it and its a good car, buy it and enjoy it. I think there is a lot of unrealistic 997 owners, I mean, think back to the peak market 15/16... even then, $200k + was pushing it for a 7.1, but some sellers are still asking this money and cars are not moving... and then there is the 7.2 market, don't start me. RS is an interesting topic I think... I have that 7.1 pumpkin book marked, lets see where it ends up moving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RS market seems to be working itself out still, on all fronts... 996 RS being the rarest of them all, what are those trading at currently?

symsy Posted 8October, 2018 Report Share Posted 8October, 2018 No idea @edgy but I guess if your gonna have a car that sits around with you thinking .. fark I got all that cash sitting there and probably dont drive it enough.. it mights as well be an RS something…. with a 997 I guess you basically paying for stickers over our cars.. now to consider coffee run to biggera waters or have the biggera ideas of RS got more appeal..

I know most investment good practices suggest you to spread your risk, but instead of having 2 x GT3 CS, I think the better use of 300 odd grand is to dump it all into a 996 RS, I really believe we will look back in 10 years and regret not jumping in when we could, hell I already feel stupid for not buying in the high 100's... because a 996 GT3 was only circa $100k then, I thought it was stupid to pay double the money for one 10 minutes ago, Jason A said: Well @ $349K another drop, around $80K less than the top of the market.

Wow @dipstick I must admit I didn’t see the RS @ $125K, but it did come and go pretty quick by the sound of it. As is recall $160 - $170K was the bottom in 2013. I have been watching the 996 GT3 market for about the last 10 years, recall the lows and the highs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 8October, 2018 Report Share Posted 8October, 2018 I’ll admit that I don’t completely understand the value proposition of a 996 Rs or a 997rs for that matter. The differences over a stock “CS” don’t just add up for me or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 8October, 2018 Report Share Posted 8October, 2018 @hugh don’t disagree, but not much difference between most muscle cars and a stock V8 edition from the factory - except the price now and the small volumes. Oh and don’t forget the stickers ? When the difference was 50-60k was possibly a bit more palitable, but the difference today is vast.
