Purely speculative, but I think anything up to ~ $450k is probably safe money on an S/T.

Frankly, even at base price, it's an expensive car for a GT3 variant.

Agreed and when that house of cards comes crashing down it is going to be like an atom bomb. Folks are going to be selling a few cars to pay for all the back taxes, fines and fees.

Thats insane. At that price point the car becomes an investment and won’t be driven. any miles will start to erode ability to recoup that massive ADM, which kind of defeats the entire purpose of the S/Ts existence.

Oh don't you worry they will figure out a loophole for them to be protected and come after everyone else. It will happen and these folks will pay. It is only a matter of time the corruption continues evading these taxes and fees. With an absolute broke state that is CA and probably most residing in that state it will catch up to them.

There's no doubt about this.

It's comical to watch people in this actual forum repeatedly "brag" about working and deriving their income from here and running around in Montana plates.
Just a matter of time before someone reports them to the CHP REG program or the FTB.
Some of the egos here and the "look at me and how special I am" is terribly bizarre.
Literally "bragging" about it.

It’s a great vehicle to launder money; much like artwork. Pun intended.

Absolute fact. I know of 1 specific fact in which I will never name the dealer or names but he was a VERY good customer and loved paying ADM's. Always in cash, and I mean cash as in a suitcase full of it for every special car he could buy from said dealer.

It’s styling, presence on the road and the perception it evokes when viewed by others. A poster described it as a wolf in sheep clothing’s. Good description. The uninformed will view it as another 911. Does that matter? To each his own.

My point was $600,000 for that? I don’t see it. MSRP absolutely.

So you need a big wing and a bunch of vents to show you got your money's worth? I don't follow the logic there but to each their own. I enjoy the subtlety in cars that I will drive often. I only care about the show-y stuff when I'm on track and it's actually functional

Nope, I’m paying an ADM to get the 992GT3RS. The car is not worth much more than MSRP. I bought the car because I love the aggressive styling and the innovative aero. For the first time in many years, I will track the car albeit in a very controlled environment. I understand it’s not a very practical DD. The S/T is much more practical for daily driving.

@Nick are you saying if someone is willing to pay $600K for a $300k car, they might perhaps want to broaden their focus to include other makes that charge $600k for a $600k car?
