MSRP + 20.
Might drift down to MSRP over the winter until everyone is done selling and by spring demand will outpace supply and prices will go up barring another economic melt down a la 2008 in the US.

01-01-2008 997.1RS 50 over
01-01-2011 997.1RS at or 30 under for high mileage track cars.

That's if history repeats itself 997.1RS including meltdown 997.2RS no economic meltdown, production stop in 2011 with 4.0's selling at MSRP while demand exceeded supply of 997.2 3.8RS. Demand started to outpace non existing supply in 2012 and we've seen the run up of the 997.2RS and pulling the 997.1RS up with it.

I see no RS of any flavor ever experiencing serious depreciation if bought at MSRP or 50 over compared to anything else in the price class.

Apologies for going a little O/T, but do regular GT3's also typically hold a premium, or see initial markups over MSRP just as the RS's do? Even if obviously not as significant of course.

Naturally with the 991.2 GT3 getting a manual, that will change the map for how the next GT3's will fair. I'm gonna try to get an allocation on a GT3 Manual as along with being desirable to drive, I have a hunch those will be highly desirable and hold a great value on the market, for anyone who can get at MSRP.

I think some are forgetting there's an "elephant" in the room. Paying a premium for a time bomb may be a little risky. Best, Allan

RS'es not blowing yet?

God I hope not

That's why I'm tracking mine...if it's going to blow up it should do so on the track.

The last thing Porsche needs is not to take care if all customers that experience catatrophic events. Good way to loose customers on top of the VW issues. Porsche has acquired a lot of new customers, and this group can clearly switch brands very easy.

Numbers in the Northeast myself and a number of friends have been told across multiple car dealers/wholesalers are $15k to $20k wholesale, $30k to $40k retail. This is what they're selling at, no what is being asked.

I think those numbers only tell part of the story. The number that most people don't discuss (in part b/c it's not disclosed nor readily available) is the number of days a particular car has been listed on the market.

jlee504

Yeah but most of that count probably spans a few model years and most of those cars aren't asking above msrp? I think all that factors in.

Basically with 52 cars it's one car available per state which is low volume of available cars to buy. Many of these dealers have no problem with a trophy RS sitting in the middle of their floor having gawkers look at it saying I want one someday. It's an RS at the nd of the day and the dealers still has control. The only way to control over paying is to remove the people willing to do so, and that will not happen in a supply and demand market. When people want they will pay to play. I do believe the price will come down, but MSRP no time soon .........and it's not winter on the west coast they still buy cars.

Nate, I know you have another track car to use and quite busy but you haven't talked much about your gorgeous Viper RS. Have you tracked it and if so, what are your thoughts?

mass27

I guess I should be surprised that people still think this way, but it's so rampant that it appears to be the norm.

You have a new GT3RS and you're already asking/hoping for the car's value before it's even delivered???????

I would just pass on the allocation to someone who really wants the car and not as an investment then you will be 100% confident you won't lose any money.

Mass: In all fairness most anyone dropping 6 figures on a car has some interest in value and resale. MHO.

I love the Mac 650 and saw one I love the other night that I was seriously considering selling my FGT for. I just can't get around the Mac's inability to hold its value and decided I would switching a car/asset I love that will likely appreciate for a cutting edge supercar of the moment that will likely continue its decline in value. That was and is an important factor to me. I work too hard for my money. This was also the factor why Porsche got my money when I bought my RS instead of the Mac 650. While I didn't know if the RS would appreciate from the price point I bought I was fairly confident that it's resale value would not evaporate nor as precipitously like the Mac's.

Good assentment and agree. A MAC can drop 100k in six months ^^^^^^^^^^
