GUT Posted 17October, 2021 Report Share Posted 17October, 2021 I’m over the moon with my 996.1. To hell with value. I’d definitely have an RS - in fact I may have had an RS if the seller bothered to call me back - but that’s another story - good luck with his most recent listing... I’m not that upset to be honest. I’m just glad I got in when I did 7,000km and counting… Drive them please! spiller, 911B, P-Kay and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s changed? Both seem to have appreciated at similar rates over the past 6 months. If we are talking the last two years, the non RS has moved more. I would love an RS. Cannot justify it right now but one day. I expected them to run away against the GT3 by now but they have not. I still suspect they will in due course, given their rarity.

hugh Posted 17October, 2021 Report Share Posted 17October, 2021 996 GT3's have been reasonably 'cheap' up until recently. Given the premiums for vanilla AC 911's, it shouldn't really come at a surprise - it's about time they were valued somewhat relatively. They are a great car, be interesting to come back to this thread in 1-2 years and see what transpires for future values. If there is a 'trend' its that people who own these cars are hanging onto them, they have become keepers, special, rare. I believe that is being reflected in the asking prices, making it a worthwhile exercise as I'm guessing most owners won't be able to find another. Again, same goes if you are selling a clean, straight & honest AC car - good cars are only becoming harder to find and commanding a significant premium as a result. spiller, Shedpest, 911B and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me want to go drive. Also enjoyed the little run around of the EP3 civic type r at the end. I daily drive one and they are the Japanese FWD poor man’s GT3 (in a good way!).

Still not sure why so many are popping up with the centre console option though..... Also interesting that the main centre console appears to be the black rubberised surface rather than body colour like mine is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tas, mine has the black main centre console. I think you had to tick the option box to get it painted body colour AFAIK. Watching with interest as I need some sales evidence to give Shannons as they currently won't insure mine for more than $200K TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 31October, 2021 Report Share Posted 31October, 2021 Anyone done a refurb on their gearchange knob? Mine's looking a bit chatty after 130,000kms and in need of a refurb. Thinking about best way to do it - do the black first, then use something like Tamiya Maskoll over the black while you do the silver, or do the silver first and then very fine brush to do the black? Is the silver Arctic Silver or a different silver? Or is there a commercial option (thinking BM Leather Creations)?? Any suggestions or thoughts welcome.

Cam Arnott Posted 4November, 2021 Report Share Posted 4November, 2021 Current list price in Oz for the shift knob is $580 + GST I'm probably going to remove my Alcantara 996 GT3RS shift knob, handbrake and steering wheel to go back to stock if they're of interest to anyone....?
