Things could get pretty ragged before the next adjustment??

The reality is; if you own an R you have the self-serving motive to talk it up and prop up it's grossly inflated value due to your bias.

We all know the 911 R is a 991.2 GT3 with a lesser motor minus the wing. Sure there's other differences but that's 95% of it right there. A car is simply the sum of its parts and the 911 R values only happened because flippers speculated it was the last manual GT car. Now that a better manual GT car has been announced in wide availability -- prices are rightly dropping back to reality. Hell -- even the 911 R owners know it privately; Andreas Preuniger talked about how they were writing him letters not to kill the value of their cars

When you go on to say it's a GT3 minus a wing, it just proves you don't know what you're taking about.

I'd like to buy the R... Someone said they were blowing it out for $40,900. Everything must go. Wholesale to the public!
