997 GT3 price bubble bursting?

Yeah. It's definitely cooling off. Could be the combo of winter and getting over the peak at summer. Funny enough in all of the PCA events this summer almost no 997 GT3 took part. Most were afraid of a ding or possibly crash and losing thousands. So we had a ton of 991 GT3 while maybe 1-2 997 every 2-3 events. At least around my region.

Better or worse there is no reason why these shouldn't be 2x more than an TS America or 4x one of the 250k built air cooled SC cars people rave about

I picked up a 987 Spyder in October and LOVE it! Sort of underpowered but the handling is just magical, better than the GT3. Feels ands sounds (with factory sport exhaust) like a go kart. With factory shift shifter in place I also love the feel of the manual gear box, best I e driven in a while. Really enjoying this car!

I sold my 997.1 GT3 to another member on here in May, oh those feeling of regret...
Here is what I have noticed, it seems to me that cars are priced higher but nothing is really moving, as others have said, they tend to sit on the market for a long time. Fair market price for a decently low mile 997.1 GT3 is probably about 87K. The delta in pricing between the 997.1 and 997.2 has really tightened up.
I've also noticed that Canada has caught up to the USA for pricing, back in June there was a solid 30% savings to be had picking up a GT3 north of the border. I missed out on two different RS's to American buyers.
I'm hoping a specific car comes up for sale eventually, a rebuilt 997.1 RS that wasn't a horrible crash victim. I would rather own a GT3 RS that I could drive all the time, not care about door dings or parking lot taps, sliding into a wall at the track etc.
Brilliant cars anyway. If the buyer of my car wanted to sell it back to me for the same price, it would be on its way back to Canada.

I hope it cools down as my plan is to add one every year or so. The 997 with mezger and six speed go down in history as the last in the line of any real racing heritage.
As it is right now the only thing the 991 has related to racing is its thin skin

I have started to hunt for a 997.2 RS with, god forbid, track use and high miles so I can drive it.
My 997.1 is for sale for the right price, but at a penny below it, I'll keep it till I croak. Most other owners are the same way, no need to sell them as they are the perfect example of a Pcar

What one has to realize is that almost everything is cooling off...or will soon be cooling off. It's a good thing. But give it a few more years, the 997 GT cars will be much sought after.
I'll be searching for a 997 Carrera GTS as a daily beater before long, as 991 Carrera's will be flooding the market.

The 991 chassis is too good. Mistakes are forgiven and the car has many luxuries. So it's a great DD or GT car. The 991 GT3 R is being delivered with a DFI engine. Let's see how long those last.
The 997 GT3 cars, well these are real sports cars. Love the racing heritage, the engine, transmission, etc. We will never see such race car reincarnation to street car again. Never selling my 997.1 GT3. I don't care if I'm homeless. To me the epitome of the 997 generation was the .1.
