The 991 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...

Saw this car maybe a month ago when I visited my dad up north.
The red wheels and graphics look atrocious tbh and keeping that wing up should be illegal (which the dealer still had up), but it just didn't look good in person.
I LOVE 911 R's...but this one just looked so meh, couldn't really tell you why...Maybe if they repainted the wheels silver and took the goofball graphics off and lowered the wing...
If it looked really good....some rich dude in Carmel/monterey would have just bought it, it has been sitting awhile.

I work for a dealer and you need your license to buy at wholesale auctions. Typically 4.5-5.0 is the condition you want.
Dealers have varying margins depending on many factors.
Some dealers will be taking losses or very little margin on some recent purchases too close to retail, unless they find non researched buyers… or ones that were purchased 6mo ago and still holding on and hoping.
typically dealers that only do consignment have 5-12% commissions on the sale.
Dealers that buy their inventory take more risk and output capital thus “try” for higher margins 10-20% however with the market changing so quickly that is a risky play. In addition, they have costs to overcome such as overhead, sales commission, detail, service, marketing etc.
A trade last week for a 10k mi gt3 was at $170k. It’s listed for $213k. 43k total mark up with likely costs of $5k service, $8k pac, $5k OH. So total net profit of sold at list is $25k.

I better sell my Touring quickly before it’s worthless! Prices on everything from cars to watches have begun to normalize again. On second thought maybe I’ll just go for a drive putting more miles on my car and try to enjoy myself without being so concerned about value. That’s why I bought the car. I still remember the good old days when we were more interested in the car itself and not what it will be worth tomorrow or next month. These value threads are getting a little tiresome. I know I don’t have to click on them, Just can’t help myself sometimes.

If you can get a 2014 with a G6 below $130K that will be a great deal. These cars aren't bitcoin - they are still Porsche 911s and GT3s to boot - they aren't going to plunge in value even if they soften along with the economy. The problem with getting a G6 car from a dealer is that if they actually know what that means they also probably actually won't let it go for a lower offer, but it's worth a shot if you are willing to do the legwork and not really worry about the miles and condition once you find the car. I personally don't want the GT3 you can get for 100K right now but maybe in 6 months or a year I will.

100 for a early 991.1 is a good value imo

Those cars pre covid were trading for between 110-130(with virtually no miles).= max
