TwoHeadsTas Posted 12January, 2022 Report Share Posted 12January, 2022 Just got notification that the Arctic Silver comfort at same price is sold, or perhaps now withdrawn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 16January, 2022 Report Share Posted 16January, 2022 Slightly off topic but I’m pretty sure I’ve got most of the 996 GT3 bodies in this thread. Anyone got standard set of springs for a mk2? Mine has the standard dampers but stiffer springs and they’re too bouncy for Tassie roads which I’m heading to in tue next month. DM if you can help? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that most or all of the buyers for 996 already have their cars? This on top of a more common colour (preference is subjective), perhaps condition and type of usage are all playing a roll? micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter John Posted 28March, 2022 Report Share Posted 28March, 2022 Silver was most ordered colour, followed by yellow, how times have changed back to where colour deserves a premium. Can always wrap to any colour you like I guess. 996 Mk1 are definitely a sweat rugged thing- you have to wonder why it hasn’t moved.

cafe_racer Posted 29March, 2022 Report Share Posted 29March, 2022 For me - Once they got over $200k it put other (newer) cars available at the same price point into consideration . I know it’s a modern day classic that may appreciate from here, but as a track toy that’s fun to drive I felt like I could tick more boxes with other cars. I wasn’t buying from a “this will go up in future and is collectible” perspective. I was buying from a “what’s the most fun I can have on the track” perspective. So in short and to answer your question, above $200k I didn’t see value anymore in these. And I know I’m in the minority here.

If track days are your jam it’s hard to look past a cup car. Lotus Exige 420. Gave me the same feels as a vintage porsche. But with about 200 extra hp (the balance was also amazing in the car and it’s ability to rotate was impressive) I was considering a cup car. But I can drive this to the track and don’t need to worry about storage/one day having a massive repair bill. I do feel like I need to go to a cup car one day, but not just yet. The other thing I liked about the lotus is the importers. They have a full calendar of lotus events and I’m off to do laps of Bathurst soon. With the dash the cars have I’ll be able to analyse telemetry and get tips that way too. You can have a set of track wheels (stored with them) that they drive out and fit for you on the day for free, which to me highlighted how they don’t try to fist you at every point. I did targa high country sharing driving with a mate in his exige and loved it. And to highlight the lack of fisting again, their tour was about half the price of the porsche one and was fully supported. So hopefully it will also make me a better driver in the long term and not drain my pockets too much as I become a better driver. ps. I’ve still got a couple of deposits out for a GT4RS. The muck around with trying to get one of those also has soured me a bit on the brand. DT, spiller, symsy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know I’m in the minority here. I dont think a minority mate .. brand loyalty does a lot to swaying decisions and the heady times of high residuals and even profits too. Im with you , WTF .. why would drive a 20yr car vs any GT car 5 year old if you want a track experience, I will take the tech and the warranty thanks especially if its still manual. again why Someone else nailed it the other day to me .. with the Value statement as you have.. Price vs Value very different things , each to their own. I have loved the cars I have owned but I will be buggered if im paying the hyped 30-40% more than I sold em for , when they were already high of the last round of excitement. I think theres this FOMO and low rate/slow rate of production running strong in the psyche of buyers. and we all know impatience is a thing thats just gonna lighten your wallet even further. mc968cs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is people arent buying 20yo GT cars for track use, they're buying them as collectors and "cool" toys. Look at Classic Aussie Homologation Musclecars like GT -HO's, GTS's, A9X's etc. Nobodys racing them, they're garage queens. That's where the money's coming from, financially cashed up car collectors. Same is happening with homologation 911's. Actually all 911's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 31March, 2022 Report Share Posted 31March, 2022 Any GT Porsche is very hard to beat in terms of what they offer for the $$$. Performance, reliability, driving experience & sale residuals are all unrivalled IMO. That is why there is such a healthy demand for these cars. Get one whilst they are cheap. spiller, SS 3, GTP911 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
