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.
I don't see how availability of more used cars wouldn't affect the new market. If someone finds a low miles CPO build they really like, available NOW at an attractive price, that's a nice alternative to getting a new one. And with so many Porsches being garage queens, not that hard to find a GT car that hasn't been tracked.

Because you are still spending a quarter of a million dollars and you may want it exactly the way you desire. I have a lowly GT4 but insisted on a new allocation vs anything in stock new or used because I wanted to spec the car to my satisfaction.

‘Based on what I read here your chances of getting an allocation for a car you can spec are pretty slim.
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. 😱
but before you vomit on the DWB suspension (which is what you doing comparing a 991 and a 992 gt) try it first perhaps?
or dont - if u do the convertible 991.2 will be for sale and sold before the 675
I think you’re missing the point, and not pissing on the 992 ……..I’ve driven the crap out of the car and also the 911 R. It’s a choice I don’t want the car, and I like driving my Speedster because it’s enjoyable. Not sure if you saw some of my other post I sold my RS, not because I don’t like it …..too many hobbies and the track stuff had to go. Speedster it not a track car, and I don’t want a GT3 just to say I have one. I do feel for guys that can’t get cars, and I posted the list to show many are for sale make an offer …….some just like talking about it but cars are there. Some want new, but reality it’s not going to happen. 🍷

Just stick and comment with what you know pls.
‘Just breath and relax man ……you’re reading too much into this.
My sense is a few people here just want to argue to seem smart - what I have begun to term Renntwitter -
But here is some analysis of the Gt3 market through October 22 including all generations, but a good section on 992s.
Conclusions - market isn't homogenous anymore and some models don't have a lot of data thus there are general conclusions rather than validated correlations, but:
Tourings dropped ~6% or $20K due to more supply and higher mileage
Its an active market, things will change. Your local area and view of the elephant may be different - but for those rational humans here hope this helps!
