That car is priced way too high. Only GT3 variant still holding strong is the Touring.
OK hold the phone here. Way too high?? Not sure I agree with that. Maybe $160's but not much lower. If lower than that I'd be waiting till next Spring IMO.

I don't think your price is $20-$25k off, that's ridiculous. The only 2018 GT3s going for under $150k are standard interior/no FAL/std brakes, no Bose. Your car doesn't have Bose but has the other options.

If the dealer is at around $155k, then you could ask about $167k and feel pretty good.

Folks jump on these price threads and it's like the Twilight Zone. They say "ohhh you should ask $145k for that". GARBAGE - get full value for your car.

If your car had no FAL/no Bose/std brakes/rubber dash, THEN maybe $150k. Gauge what the dealer offers and mark up accordingly.

Watch what happens in spring when new GT3 is unveiled AND the weak market worsening/recession, these cars will not sell for 6+ months even with discounts.

Bottom line is, the market for a 6 cylinder, low torque, unpractical expensive Porsche is quite small. It was always small, but those flippers or people who dont truly belong to a purist’s car somehow managed to jump ship. Now they are being nicely told to get out.
Yeah, nobody wants these cars, they're only made in Flacht by Porsche Motorsport and have a GT3 Cup engine- low torque...yeah what a piece of crap. Right?

Thanks. I’m aware of those on RL who like to blow smoke. I went to dealer right before posting and they are in low $160s with tax incentive, I was trying to squeeze another $5k-$7k out.

Regardless, I’ve turned a corner this past weekend and think I value it at $172k which (apparently) the market isn’t at. Good for me I guess, keeping the car and not looking back

The key is the value in driving the car, and worth is relative to what another person wants to pay. If you decide to sell and have a specific number it only worsens as time goes by with building inventory. Regardless good luck with selling, and not worth the time dealing with tire kickers.

Market is softening (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ish-collectors)
Fall is coming
Plenty of inventory (https://www.cars.com/for-sale/search...62520&zc=02332)

I don't know where your located but if you have a dealer friend, try running it at the auction, some cars are selling more at auction that at dealerships, I know it sounds crazy but I've been going to a lot of auctions lately and people are paying stupid money. I wouldn't waste money or time on BAT, nothing really special about it...

As another reference, here's the most recent WHOLESALE auction trend (via Manheim's MMR) and this valuation tool has a projected RETAIL estimated range as well...... obviously dealers/regions and market conditions will always vary so use this as an approximation tool.

Get way better pictures OP like others highlighted those don’t do the car justice and great job to others calling out the bargain trolls.. they’ll spend eternity trying to find an insane deal like that. Might as well just cave and get a .1
