991.1 is an awesome car, wish I still had mine, especially with the enhanced engine warranty. If they drop in price much more I may buy another one.

Again... we are less than 30 days away from the next generation 992 launch. It’s not unreasonable to think that the launch of a new generation 911 may have an affect on all current generation 911 model values. This is my only reason for considering waiting and seeing but I’m most likely just going to pull the trigger on the car next week. Just doing my last minute due diligence.

I stated from the very beginning that I realize that this is a crystal ball question but possibly 997 GT3 owners may have some insights if they saw any price movements when the 991 generation launched.

BTW, I was just reading an older thread where you all gave the same “you only live once” type responses to a prospective 991.1 GT3 buyer right before the 991.2 GT3 launched... And then there was an instant 30k loss in value across all 991.1 GT3 years. I don’t care who you are, a 30k loss just because you had to have something right now is a hard pill to swallow.

I work hard for my money just like the rest of you do and didn’t get myself into a financial position to go out and buy toys like this by not being strategic with my cash. The most important part of a purchase like this is ownership experience. Could I go out and buy a new 991.2 GT3? Sure but I refuse to pay ADM and the inflated .2 prices that will be coming down soon would make the ownership experience less enjoyable for myself. I realize there are others that don’t care about those sort of things and that’s completely fine 🙂

Thanks again to the few of you that provided thoughtful responses.

Is it absolutely assured that the GT3 will be in the first year line up for the 992? Has that happen with any of the previous generations at all?

I'd also keep in mind the 991.1 GT3....is super desirable because of the engine warranty. Is it possible it might drop 10k when the 992 comes out? Sure....but I'd be really surprised if it did. I just picked up a .1 for 112k...it was a phenomenal deal and I plan to keep it for 3-4 years of Daily + Track driving. If I can get 60-80k on trade in down the road I'm good with that.

The 992 GT3 is not expected in the first year.

The question was to those that have owned previous generation GT3’s when a new generation 911 launched and if they saw any noteworthy value changes.

Example; 997 GT3 values when the 991 Carrera’s debuted in 2012.

^ My assumption is that there was a little movement on all 997 models when the 991 launched but I just wanted to check and see if anyone could comment from experience.

I’m very excited to be getting my 991.1 GT3. Love my Carrera S and looking forward to the GT car experience.

Nice. I traded in my 991 S yesterday for the GT3......I'm pretty amazed at the stark difference between the two cars. Now to kill the engine so I can get the latest and greatest.......

Do you remember when the 991 GT3 came out.

People were not Happy.....
PDK only
Engines were burning and replacements took months.
Only GT3 with a non race tested motor.

997GT values went up. I was looking at a 2010 for around $100k. It ended up selling for $115k after the 991 launch.

991.2 situation is a little different. Race proven engine that everyone loves. Manual gear box.
992 maybe a turbo car...at least a year maybe 2 before the 992 GT3.

991.2 is the car that will cost the least to drive over the next couple of years. If the 992 is a turbo may sell over MSRP forever. Similar to the 997 RS. (Last of the best).

Ya 991.1S. Its hard to believe these 2 cars share anything in common. Steering is tighter more precise. Brakes feel much much better. And it feels planted at speed. I never liked taking the S to 90+ just didn't feel great to me, on the 3 hour trip back I unitentionally got the GT3 up to 110 while trying to pass a conga line of people........amazing is all I have to say. And then there's the 9k rpm redline.....the car just screams as you get closer and closer to it.

You are inflicting a lot of brain damage for your perceived loss of $10-15K. When 992 comes out will you wait til they then announce the 992 GT3?

Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait 🙂. Do you notice a big difference in terms of ride quality and cabin noise? The few drives I have done in the past, I didn’t think it was very noticeable but I also prefer a more aggressive driving experience.

God you are right... asking GT3 guys if previous generation owners noticed any major price movement when a new generation 911 debuted is absolutely insanity... 🙄 I don’t know what I was thinking.

992 is launching in Geneva 2019, not in LA in Nov 2018.

I believe that was rumor and it has since been corrected. 992 is confirmed next month for LA auto show somewhere in the 992 threads if you dare try and read through those lol

It is absolute insanity and as fastmd said wasted energy to make a decision on this purchase because of the LAUNCH of the next Gen 911. Not one had been delivered. Not one has sold used. Zero word on the next GT3. Not even done with the current .2 GT3. Do you honestly think prices will move the day of the launch?
