GTP911 Posted 22January, 2018 Report Share Posted 22January, 2018 1 hour ago, MezgerMan said: Which commentator said what after the release of the 6.1 that convinced so many more buyers to opt for the Touring spec 6.2?! It's a significant shift in the stats. My take on delivery configuration is based on: * Only 308 RHD 996 Mk1 GT3 made in total, * Australia allocated 90 GT3s in total, 77 CS (86%) * UK allocated 106 GT3s in total, only 28 CS (26%) 003 (CS) no cost option allocation was on availability and dealer order, noting Australia Nations Cup in Yr. 2000 had 14 996 GT3 competing (my understanding these were mostly road going GT3s/CS’s) Therefore my theory: Australian Nations Cup rules moved on (after 2000/1) and Ferrari etc. were more competitive and Porsche moved to RS/CUP cars. Therefore less race/road CS cars were required in the 2003 996 MK2 GT3 release year? micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symsy Posted 2February, 2018 Report Share Posted 2February, 2018 Bump - rare car still there ... 152k is too much for such a beast? I sense the GT3 market across the board under pressure .. maybe the lineup of potential GT3 owners were/are Bitcoiners ...

MezgerMan Posted 3February, 2018 Report Share Posted 3February, 2018 I know AUS got way fewer 996.1 GT3 Touring spec cars than ClubSport versions but I am waiting patiently for the right M003 to come along... #notabitcoiner micknine01 and symsy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a touring and is still in the PFA fold (although I did have the same initial thought) looks like a time capsule, one for the collector. 39 minutes ago, symsy said: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1999/SSE-AD-5241126/?Cr=2 seriously Your not going to make him an offer?

Troubleshooter Posted 4February, 2018 Report Share Posted 4February, 2018 4 for sale now on Carsales alone, plus a 6.2 --- I'd rather buy this one https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-1999/SSE-AD-4782446/?Cr=1 instead of the yellow one and with the extra 100k take a 3 month holiday O/S from work!

hugh Posted 4February, 2018 Report Share Posted 4February, 2018 Unlike latter model GT3's, it's very hard to find a clean (& straight) MK1. The 250k car looks to be a minter and to anyone wanting an original minter than the market is pretty limited. Speed Yellow was also the colour of MK1 press cars so it has relevance to some people. Sometimes it's not so much about what a seller thinks their car is worth to a buyer but rather what it's worth to them. I'll happily admit I value my cars higher than what the "market" may suggest their worth but that's the deal on the table.......... I know of 2 cars that sold only last week for very high prices, both to OS buyers sight unseen. Can't blame a man for trying, maybe he knows something that we don't micknine01 and GTP911 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason A Posted 4February, 2018 Report Share Posted 4February, 2018 I recon that car would be a bargain just below $200K. Provided it checks out. Very nice, everything is there. My favourite combo ❤️❤️❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Limit Posted 10February, 2018 Report Share Posted 10February, 2018 Suddenly Piston Heads is also showing some exuberant asking prices for very low km MK1's. Here's a LHD Club Sport with 20,000 km @ 125,000 pounds vs price when new @76,500. Just on exchange rate alone that asking price equates to $221K AUD. If you are a UK collector why not buy the Aussie car and get a RHD version that has nearly half the mileage. This one has to be odds-on the leave our shores. https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/911-gt3-996/996-gt3-clubsport-original-1st-generation-left-hand-drive/8321281 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looks like the Seller got very close to the asking price......shown as SOLD. I would suggest it was very close to the asking price, given the time it was advertised for. We might have to reassess the value of low k 996 GT3's. Better look at my Insured Value...... Cheers, Geoff. hugh and Fraz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Tinker Posted 14February, 2018 Report Share Posted 14February, 2018 I think that car was the one I inspected last March / April.

So if the yellow CS sold for mid 2's in 2 weeks and a 50km touring can't sell for mid 1's then I guess we know which one is more sort after ? Or was it just because of the 11 kms? Maybe i should own one of each, just to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
