Eh, not a big deal to me. I've been around these cars and have enough shops around me that can literally take the car apart and put it back together and have no qualms about it. I'd probably blow up the new engine the way I use my cars.

Agreed. I think we are seeing the 991.1 GT3 level off. 991.1 S's have been about the same price for the last two years. 991.2 GT3's will continue to drop but stay above 991.1.

I have been on/off market for a GT car in the last several years and I have never seen such persistent behavior before. Usually they are very cocky and wont even entertain negotiating.
Cool! What Porsche's have you purchased? Or have you been waiting for the right deal?

Wish it had buckets, but oh well, maybe I'll swap them in in the future, if anyone wants to trade let me know .
Best wishes. Seems like a fair price to me. Not sure what all those leaving the comments were expecting.

Maybe some enterprising Rennlister can start an exchange where people can buy and sell GT car futures. Then start a financial consultancy to sell advice on GT car pricing. Why fight this obsession with resale value when you could monetize it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Market is too small. There wouldn't be enough breadth. Ferrari's maybe....lol

So name your price when they call and buy.

My local dealer has cars that havent moved even at MSRP for over 4-5 months.
Are you located in the USA or abroad?
Your profile doesn't list where you're from and I know some countries have completely different markets
