these are 200k cars, do you see how many people track them, do you see the cars folks have in their garages... so yep $30k is like a $20 bill here. Who cares how many calls you get from dealers. Like the other guy said, people in the market for these know the market, or they don’t care.

Bottom is blowing out, hope some of these dealers come to there senses. With the interactions I have experienced earlier this year (no returned calls or pm's after the initial contact, with the two top dealers on this board) that will take some time, albeit for 997 RS.

So true. People want what they can’t have.

I get where you are coming from but I think what most are basically saying is, "where do you draw the line?"

I think everyone here accepts that you are lighting money on fire to some degree when you make these types of purchases. I know when I bought my GT3, I took a look at my finances and decided that the purchase would not negatively impact my overall financial health. So I did the deal. Whether my GT car depreciates 0k, 10k, or 100k between now and when I go to sell it is irrelevant because I approached this purchase with the mindset that a total loss would not be ideal but is an acceptable outcome.

At the end of the day, these are track toys and there is always the chance you could crash the vehicle and have an issue with the insurance company where they refuse to fully cover it. Happens all the time.

I take the same view on pretty much all luxury purchases. Whether it's watches, cars, or whatever, I just buy what I like and if it gets ruined, stolen, destroyed, or the value goes to zero when I'm done with it, I really don't care. The rest of my income is working for me so I can enjoy the small percentage of my income that doesn't have to.

I have never sold or traded a modern car and thought, man if I only would have paid X less, I could have gotten X more back in my pocket... If you have the means, make the purchase and just enjoy it. If you happen to end up with a slightly higher resale or trade in price when it comes time to sell, that's just a bonus.

I forgot what I paid,
the car is way too fantastic to allow me to dwell on prices.

Seriously, these are great times for GT cars and they may not last forever

Get out and really enjoy these monsters!

Amen!

OP, no disrespect intended at all but you wait for the price to drop, and I’ll keep driving the value clean out of my undesirable .1 GT3 (shockingly high miles) and depreciating .2 RS (nearly broken in and debuting at WGI next week). At the end of this driving season I will only have a year and a half of full warranty left on one, three and a half on the other, years of good memories, a very stupid grin on my face, and possibly less money in the bank. If you don’t buy, you will hopefully have more money and maybe a stupid grin on your face if money in and of itself makes you happy (nothing wrong with that per se). Driving the cars makes me happy. If it doesn’t do the same for you, save the money. The value of these mass produced, overweight, dynamically superb luxury sports cars is in using them, and sharing them. Investments in anything but enjoyment they are not.

If only money could buy years gone by.
