WTB/FS: 991.2 Touring GT3
#31
this is not what I’m saying, would you take the exact spec 991.2 touring over 992 for the same money? Sure, people prefer one over the other but there’s a $50k+ price delta.
Chris Harris never owned one I don’t think… he really wanted one and then cried about it when Porsche wouldn’t give him an allocation. Haha
also, the double wishbone and ITBs are game changers

And I don't necessarily agree that the delta is $50k, the last few 992 Tourings sold on BaT, for instance, were far less than that.
What's more interesting to me is that the current 991.2 GT3T values have already factored in the impact of a generation change, the 992.1 has not yet had that depreciation hit. I will be curious to see where values sit a few years from now.
Of course none of these cars are investment grade collectibles , so this is all mostly about bragging rights over pennies compared to the big boys.

I would argue look at the trajectory of the sales on auction sites. 992 touring prices are definitely softening. 991.2 touring prices are stabile or going up, last few sales commanded $60-70k over list. However I never recommend buying a car on speculation but buying what you love.

Hold on, you mean to tell me that on a 991 thread, a few folks like the 991 more than the 992!?! We’ve all seen this before (991 vs 997, 993 vs 964, etc.). To each his own.
All joking aside, they’re both splendid cars. IMO, the 991 GT3 (winged and touring) looks better than the 992 counterparts and the 992 has better driving experience. Not my opinion: scarcity value is the single most important factor in determining value for these cars, and neither car is particularly scarce. Thankfully, sounds like most of us are sober enough not to confuse these as legit investments, but fun cars they are indeed! I wouldn’t rule out picking up another 991.2 myself…I hear they’re going up in value!

Agreed. People are appreciating the 991 as compared to the 992. It’s more special, limited and at least to me more desirable.

💯 and another auction sale confirming the $70k over list is not an anomaly but the current market. Personally I see them already as a classic and destined to continue climbing. 911r>991 touring> 992 touring and everything beyond. But that’s just one man’s lonely opinion.
