hugh Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 There was previously an atlas Grey one in Sydney being sold by a dealer, am I correct in saying that you both think its the same car? If so I believe that car had previously been involved in accident - can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 (edited) Only 4 Atlas grey 996.2 GT3's, I have seen all 4 change hands in the last 12 months. There has only been one with such high Km's and that livery! I am confident it is the ex Sydney car indeed. Not sure about the accident sorry... let us know if you know any more though.

spiller Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 One of the other Atlast Grey cars that comes to mind was also sold in WA by a place calleed Xoticar about 2-3 years ago - had an aftermarket cage in orange or some similar colour. Had about 50Ks on it back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 It sounds like there was a fair bit of interest at 129k. So the price has jumped to 149k. We've seen the same thing happen with other cars.If it's not sold yet (a few hours is now a long time in Porsche world) then I would say the market has spoken for a high km GT3 at 140-odd grand. It will be interesting to hear how close he gets to his new price. Claywong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say $220K for a GT4 new...............I reckon the first second-hand one will change hands for $260K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 Is 110kms + really high ?? Not for an 11 year old car! High for a GT3 though.... But I'll take 100k street miles over 40k track miles. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't comment on this with any knowledge as I haven't spoken to Porsche regarding allocations but I would like to think you could get one, just might have to wait a while. I'm not sure Australia is at that level yet (paying large sums over MRSP), correct me if im wrong. Out of of curiosity how many GT4s are allocated to Aus? Originally approx 79 non RS 996.2 GT3s which some have since gone to UK, been crashed, turned into pseudo cup cars etc etc. Edited 17August, 2015 by spiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we simply out of foreseeable Aussie build allocations? That's all folks! All over red rover! Hasta last vista baby! Only 30 allocated to Australia and all gone. No further allocation.And did I mention how much of an unbelievable and understated car it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 I'd heard global allocations we're going to be capped at 1200.... Seems plausible now you say that ^^ i guess time will tell if they'll make anymore in this generation? GT5 will be interesting should it eventuate...

kiwi911 Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 So now that 6.1 and .2 GT3's are $150K cars - who's a seller??Just out of interest, what is the more preferred version 6.1 or 6.2 in Aussie and which sells for the most?

Most of the cars on the open market in the last 12/24 months locally have been 6.2's, anywhere from 90-130k. This one @ 150 is up there in pricing especially considering the kms. Can't say what's preferred re MK1 or MK2 other than one that hasn't been bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 Not a seller at $150k, not at $200k... Can't think of a number that would temp me? To think a few months back I was having such a bad day I would have parted with it.... ? you hurt the ones you love the most they say! This ones a keeper.Neither 6.1 or 6.2 has sold for a premium over each other that I've seen.... Now they're on the up, it will be interesting! I think the low RHD numbers (308 globally iirc) and the "built in weissach" might stimulate some higher premiums.... I haven't seen it yet though!

kiwi911 Posted 17August, 2015 Report Share Posted 17August, 2015 I agree, a GT3 is just not like any other 911, to me they are Pcar heroin...........The problem is if you sell - what do you replace it with??Possibly an RS replica hot rod of some description?? spiller, edgy and Claywong 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, I don't think any amount of $$ would tempt me into selling as at 150 or even 200K what are you going to get that will give you the same or similar experience? In that regard (and I hate to sound like I'm wearing rose coloured glasses) I doubt the GT4 could match that experience, even though it's surely a better car than the 996 in many, many ways.the mk1 vs mk2 debate seems like a personal choice. Most (but not all) prefer the updated look, then there are the benefits of the mechanical updates (brakes, gearbox, engine). I guess we have to look to the euro market with this and from memory the 6.1s were fetching a slight premium?? Clubsport over comfort is also another debate but this doesn't seem to come into the equation in Aus going by recent sales. Both are about as rare as each other as far as 6.2s are concerned. There were far more clubsports than touring in the 6.1. Edited 17August, 2015 by spiller edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that 6.1 debate will have more weight much later in the cars life, I've always maintained that! So I guess I am saying 6.1 might just be the better long term investment proposition for Aussie delivered owners! But GT3 and investment in the same sentence doesn't feel right... 8000rpm does! Re: GT4, lord knows I'd love one... But it is NOT a 911 GT car.... It IS the first non 911 GT, interesting for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND I'm well aware of what cars have been changing hands for lately! He might have the market cornered but I think $110 is a high number for it.. not unrealistic though hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
