I am contemplating a high MSRP GT3, near the $200k mark MSRP. I was wondering what you guys think the resale value in 3 years will be with 10k-12k miles granted its manual. Yes, it depends on a lot, but in general, would we assume a 20% depreciation regardless of options or less? This is based on the 14/15's current pricing.

Checking crystal ball... I’d guess more like 30-35% for that high of a starting MSRP.

14 GT3's are going for $130 which is 20% less than they started when new. 30% sounds aggressive.

$85k.

Market will crash in the next three years. If you can’t walk away from $100k, don’t buy one.

A correction is bound. But that would be for all luxury goods at that point. Assuming market conditions stay the same without the macro economic standpoint. I have a 14 TT so the same would happen to it as well, it would be worth far less.

You want the car, buy it and drive it. Who cares about 20% depreciation or 30% depreciation. Your old and dead before you know it, enjoy and stop trying to figure out what any car will be worth

Geez. Another value thread. Aren't their enough on here already?

Cliff notes:
Options will never bring the same % as base cars. More options = lower %.

You mean a higher % of depreciation with more options since they are not as valuable as the car gets older. Correct?

pitt911

20 % is way too optimistic
the spread between whole sale and retail is at least 10 % by itself and that will happen immediately after purchase
you are looking at list price on 14 gt3 not actual selling price and not whole sale price
and yes more optioned cars depreciate more than base cars
I have owned both .1 gt3 and .1 gt3rs . for 200 k you probably will do better picking a .1 gt3rs imho

Mine will be 155k. Yours won't be worth much more. You will take an instant 30k or so hit.

Is this threads serious, the OP hasn't even purchased the car yet and is worrying about its depreciation...in 2-3 years no less!! There should be a rule that depreciation threads can only be started by someone who actually owns car in question and has owned it for at least 1 year...geez!! To the OP, the depreciation/value of the car in 2-3 years will be whatever the market for the car is at that time, based on the multitude of demand/supply and myriad of market factors that affect the value of GT Porsches.

Totally agree on both points
1- YES
2- The bigger they are the harder they fall, simple but true.

Isnt that the purpose of a board. To have other like minded people share opinions and at time answer questions? Im presenting a very practical question that I am sure many will ask and many will search on google and find this thread indexed. Thank you for contributing.

Reality is many buyers in the market for GT cars are banking on limited depreciation risk. They would need a diaper if the car lost $50K in a year like all the competitors do.
