It all makes it a pointless exercise really. Nobody knows what the future holds, especially in the current climate. What we do know is everything has it's price and this is mostly guided/driven by subjective and non-rational logic (although people do try to spin it otherwise). Old mate has his 996 GT3 for sale and he is trying to sell it for as much money as he/she can. No need to be surprised, nobody seems to bat an eyelid when a bog stock 3.2 Carrera sells for circa 200k..................Hell, if you are in the market for a tired 964 or 993 you need to budget that + all the stuff that needs doing to it. I think people are starting to join the dots and a collectable & usable Porsche GT car that was produced in limited numbers and has a drive/feel that has been defined as one of the definitive high character 911's for AC drug money starts to make sense. I'd say there are more people out there buying 996 GT3's to drive than early AC cars - if you want a 'driver' it's an absolute no brainer. You are on the CTS payroll now arent you .. we agree on a few things , driving them ..and variables and the price of splitters ... Or you just got that favourite FUEL cap on and plumping the market anyways. You too .. get that car out for thrash , if I had one , i would be driving it this arvo , even if it was in 5Km laps of the house tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its all a foregone outcome really .. beer expensive or otherwise , occasionally fine food and wine .. get drunk .. claim the worlds gone mad even . We have these circular discussions if you look back in the history of the forum just the numbers change .. the model numbers and the prices we discuss 😀. Is that car of your warmed up yet to be taken out for its afternoon thrash Boags, brewed about 5 kms from where I'm sitting 🙂 Not a huge fan ,apart from their St George which is a mighty fine drop. GT3 not warmed up this afternoon, but will be in the morning for a trip to my mechanic to put a couple more screws in the nose cone to sort out an errant underpanel, and finish of a couple of small things from the clutch change. Already for a drive with some mates on Sunday for a GT bash - couple of 6GT3s, a 1.1RS and possibly a couple more. Gotta love Tassie's Covid free status 🙂 tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-it note stapled into a service book is taking the piss. @symsy German Sports Cars = specialist independent - now THATS a stretch! 22 hours ago, symsy said: I think if that price is achieved, you will also be quite crazy and if your not a gambling fan to say that this fake money world bull market is gonna stop its charge... But as previously discussed - more sense than a g-Body @$ 200K? Certainly a Better Drive..... even if the "g" was NEW... Australia doesnt seem to have any long term economic strategy , its people have a long term indoctrination into realestate and that markets booming and is a good source of play money. Just realising this now?? When that runs out of steam the cars , water cooled or otherwise will overheat. Other bullshit like NFT /Crypto etc has also created many play money multi millionaires The issue is Money has no "value" anymore - just stay at home and collect your $$$ We have muppets as pollies and they seem to be gaining more and more power.. I guess it will all end in tears , tyranny or maybe a revolution. LOL - we get the politicians WE deserve.... I can take that Red beast of yours off your hands If you want to get an NA car but maybe like me your addicted to boost .. Nah - Im knee deep in it now! I look at myself in the mirror and say, UK import, from the street, hated snobbery in the UK and hate it here 😀 . I like to not say that and maybe I got a few flaws and scratches . Maybe even a little rust in my brain and then I take me out for a real world blast beyond the forum and life feels better driving and I am the RS.. After all isnt the perception and personal experiences that defines what something worth.. ? Skids = smiling no matter what car you drive. Yes I do reflect that I am A- "RS" -E . I guess most importantly Im trying to have fun.

edgy Posted 11September, 2021 Report Share Posted 11September, 2021 So in light of current asking on 996 GT3, where would we think the market is at on 996 RS? I haven’t seen any trade lately or been close to a transaction in over 1 year… historically, they have been around 2 x GT3 price… except for last year, the gap was $100k~ give or take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some dialogue with the seller at the time. It was advertised on carsales with very poor photos. It was the one that was a “very REAR opportunity”. It would undoubtedly be more now.

Just to add for context, that 996RS was also originally UK delivered before arriving here (as a personal import).

When it comes to RS of anything 996 and earlier then, I really feel the delivery status is less relevant anyway, since it’s slim pickings.. especially for 964’s anywhow, I think the data suggests there is still a small premium for Aussie delivered cars, so anecdotal we’d be looking north of $400k for RS? it’s nothing to do with selling, as I have no interest but insurance will need to be reviewed shortly… I’m interested to see how we all good getting an increase in cover spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
