95% of current owners selling their rs probably forgot they even own the car.
I doubt they give a **** if it sells, because they will just leave it in their stable. They'll never lose money on it.

 

I think there are plenty that have another thought as well, "My car is worth an extra $75-100K so I BETTER NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE...
I foresee a scenario similar to the GT40 (except for their first few years) That market has segmented into two camps, those that have several thousand miles on them now and those under 1K miles down into the 100's of miles. Those low mile ones are going from museum to museum as "investments" never to be driven except maybe a parade. Then there are those that might get taken to tracks ~6-10 times a year. I think those have about a $100k spread.


Is there a fuse or plug that can stop the ODO on the RS? Check it for fingerprints! (lol, thats a rental car hack I came up with )

 

I would agree with this as I would include myself in this camp. Europe doesn't have quite the same obsession with ultra low miles though so allows more flexibility when it comes to driving for a while.

 

Is that so? Is that why the price of that Lava RS in AZ from the private seller kept bleeding lower until it sold for around $50k over? Anyhow, the vast majority of the RSs for sale are dealers/brokers so the motivation to sell will continue to build.

I do agree with you that we are slowing chasing equilibrium prices as there is a fairly wide bid/ask spread. Sellers who actually want to sell will keep going lower in price until they hit a bid price.

I said it once and I'll say it again.....TIME is on my side. The only direction that RS prices is going is down...even if it's a slow bleed lower. I'm not saying that prices will come down to MSRP or below MSRP because at the end of the day I'm a buyer at a "reasonable" amount over MSRP for the right car.

 

Can I be guest member?

 

Yeah, come on out West and join us.

 

I'm putting back the band. 964RSA goes for sale soon, than just make the 991RS my DD and DE car again like it used to be sans the tools.

Good times, but most went racing but some are still there like Erik and some are sliding back into DE like me, Juan porro has been beating on his GT4 and some new guys in 991 (Deacon) are stepping up.
I'll race less and do more DE's. Racing doesn't mean a lot of driving, 20 minute sprints don't do it for me. Plus I like driving my DE car better.

There were some RS at Sebring last week but most are doing parade laps but there are some healthy nut jobs getting faster in the 991 GT3 group.. Fun stuff, I don't have a lot of time this year but if they keep strapping coaching in the cars its gonna get fun again. That's how the East coast GT3DE club got to where it was, everyone cot fast!

I love my DE pre these days. have car prepped at shop, grab helmet bag, Harry's lap timer on my I phone and go. I don't even bother changing tires or pads. Drove it home and to the office all week and didn't even bothered taking off the numbers yet. Its getting a full detail tomorrow because it smells like worn socks inside LOL.

I' hope some GT3's on Hoosiers will show up and some RS's will be used as intended. There was 1 997RS last weekend.. With a for sale sign on it..

 

If you keep places posts like this I'm going to have to drive down to Florida.......

 

of course, you coming west in march? BW and TH, back to back weekneds. i got 6 days lined up.

u can drive my GT4, if the damn slow ship ever docks....


he's gutting and caging his 964 as of 3 hours ago.
you need to get him with the program.

 

This new Ebay listing will be interesting to see if it gets any $250k+ bids. It would have been much more interesting if the $250k was a starting bid without a higher reserve...

Btw, 43 RSs on sale on autotrader now and looks like no more $400k+ RSs as Taggart lowered their price from $420k to $380k for their UV RS.

 

Errrr, you just said exactly what I said...

And yes, an undesirable color RS selling for $50k over is actually evidence of exactly what I'm saying. The market will slowly bleed down to a range of prices where more cars will start exchanging. The good builds will likely go for $50-75k over or be kept by their owners.

 

Wait, when did Lava Orange become an undesirable color?

 

I need to get up to th. Maybe 964 spends summer up there for track days.

I don't have an addictive personality. But I do like the gt4. But I think I like the 964 better.

You're the kingpin.

Maybe I need a car in nw too.... I like Seattle and Portland. Don't like rain tho.

Anyway, I'm a day late and dollar short. Always behind the trends. That's ok. You first movers have fun. I ride the depreciation curve.

 

Yeah, since when is Lava Orange an undesirable color when that's the #1 color that was ordered? Someone hurry up and tell Scottsdale Porsche because they are asking $50k over on their Lava GT3. Ultimate pricing will be dependent upon if more RS allocations come out and if the .2RSs are N/A. If either one of those two things happen, we are heading towards MSRP and if both happen then we might go below MSRP (on non-PTS colors).

 

Did you see what else gigij79 is selling on Ebay?

I think you should be able to get this Martha Stewart stuff thrown in when you plunk $275K on the RS he (she?) is keeping out back.
