The sorry thing is that it will most certainly be worth more than you paid for it. I prefer that it does not go up in value and just depreciates slowly. I know it may sound silly on my part but I never want to open my garage door and think that I now need to be careful driving her because it is an appreciating asset. Nice to know it slowly depreciates and holds value but I am not interested in being worth more than i paid

 

But buying a used MT6 can be risky. With the PDK you can not mis a shift but you can with an MT6 and it comes down to how the prior owners treated it. Buy new and you don't have that concern
Wild extreme case: Used Ferrari 430 MT6 buyer from dealer finds bad synchro on PPI, $40k+ repair by dealer

 

That all sounds correct from everything I've seen and been told.

 

Well said - I'm in the same boat. I paid this amount of money to enjoy the car, not stress/worry every time I take the car out if I'll be hurting the resale value of the car. If I'm fortunate, planning on a long horizon with this car

 

I think the future is all but guaranteed for this scenario, at least that is what the current GT market is dictating. These cars are street legal race cars and the .2 is not 50k, better than the .1 on the track. Not to mention less than 5% of GT owners actually track their cars, so you have 95% of GT buyers for the coolness factor, speculating, collecting, and last but not least flipping er.. I mean unexpected life changes. These 95%ers are def driving up the demand and thus ADM because they can and its worth it for them. The market is good and money is abundant and I do not blame the dealers for taking advantage of this as its fundamental capitalism, (It does bother me however if a dealer promises a MSRP car and changes their mind due to said demand). So alas while I definitely wanted a .2 I am sort of glad I didn't get one, esp the unicorn PTS I wanted as I would never push the car in a turn like I could a "cheaper" .1 GT3 for fear of a ding, not to mention it had already lost "value" for being on the track in the first place. I've been searching for a neat spec .1 GT3 for a while now but I think those guys are hanging on to them, a stripper with buckets and red brakes with medium miles that I can beat on may be in line with what I want to use it for... The search continues in a different direction.

I was in panic-mode when I heard the 991.2 GT3 production was going to stop after MY2018... Then I thought to myself, "Why?" And I couldn't really come up with a reason other than I wanted the hottest hot. Yeah, it will probably be the last NA GT3... but the worlds moves on. The next GT3 won't be a piece of crap, and I'll get mine (second market NA or new... whatever) when the time is right. I've decided to approach my first 911 purchase with Zen and go where the current takes me.

Edit: I have noticed some 2018 GT3s popping up on Autotrader at MSRP, but I'm not sure if this is just a hook and a start to a "bidding" war.

 

 

 

But if you can't bone up for a Cup car considering a new RS and def a 2RS will take down a Cup car from 5-6 years ago thats pretty damn good!!

I have seriously considered the cup car for track. Can you share some concepts with ongoing expenses with the cup car compared to GT3 or RS Please?

 

Wow, I guess it's ok to call people out for having them cars that don't track them, but don't dare say anything about that! Or you post gets deleted!!
FYI, I never said you shouldn't track your Gt3! You can all you want! You can track your base Boxster or your GTI, too!
But to whine that your not getting a car because others who won't track it are, is absurd!
Delete this post too!???!!!
You'd think a pm with a reason would accompany the lost post!
