Ran across this sage advice for guitarists, which I think applies quite well to us car guys also. Bottom line is to find a car you enjoy and can afford, and drive it, rather than perpetually shopping for the 'next thing'.

Yeah but literally almost no one says "I am so confident in my prediction that you can ban me if I'm wrong".

Now on another point - some people don't seem to understand the difference between an allocation and when production ends. For example, there may not be any more allocations going out to dealers and consequently to you - but that is not the same as production has ceased. Production is still occurring and seems like for at least a few months into 2023. Happy holidays to all!

240 used GT3’s for sale lots of opportunities make an offer. It’s like 101 Dalmatians out there no need to wait take a poor GT3 home looking for a good owner to love them. By the way I’ve never seen this many GT3’s for sale launch year ……wait to the RS deliveries roll in. 😱

Okay, so 240, 18 are duplicates, minus 62 which are incoming cars that are pulled automatically from dealers inventory. Leaves 160, now you’ve got options and things that people want and don’t want and you’re left with people still complaining about not having a car they could never buy.

One man’s trash is another’s treasure. Some of the same were complaining at 25k ADM, hell I should have taken my MSRP car last year and flipped. Kidding it went to a person that wanted the car, 992 is not my thing ….but it’s an interesting side show.

my friend - we share a 675LT in common so pls take this for what it’s worth and give the 992 GT cars a try. They fat and too much tech but the DWB suspension is worth the upgrade over the understeering pig a 991 GT car is - unless u just driving to whole foods?

What filters are you using?



there’s also 22 speedsters for sale and 8 911 R’s. Highest I’ve everrrrrr seen….. it’s all relative. Not just 992

News flash.

Sometimes people just want a new, not a used one.

Some people just prefer being the first person to pop the soda can. And will pay for the privilege.

Just because used cars are flooding the market, does not necessarily mean the new car market will be affected. It might, but it most likely might not.

Speaking for myself only, when I was in the market for a 1.1 GT3 and a 1.2 GT3 RS, a used car was not even in the consideration.

Merry Christmas all, don’t get wrapped up. One, I said I’ve never seen so many GT cars for sale which is a fact not good or bad but people are flipping. Second, got it all don’t want used cars so what, my point is cars are out there for people take it or not. If you can’t get a car that may be the only option for many. I passed on my car so a person that wanted it could have it, vs being a flipper. It’s just a car nothing more they make lots of them. 😎

Agree relative, but the thread is not about Speedster’s or R’s for sale. Those cars have been out for some time vs all the 992 flips. Point here many are saying they can’t get cars lots are for sale to buy is simply my point nothing more.

I would never include a speedster in the same breath as an R. Nor should you.
