Only one problem with 991gt3.............................

there is no doubt the 991 gt3 is exciting and makes most look like a bona fide race car driver on the track. however, there is a certain charm the 993 has that is unmistakable with a balance of technology and old school characteristics. i favor the latter.

 

That's a solid answer to the question...

I have a 997.2 GT3 and a 993tt and also am at the point that the GT3 is way under utilized. It's truly an amazing car but it is not getting to the track where it belongs.... likely going up for sale.

The 993 tt is just plain gorgeous and runs like a dream.

 

The reason I got rid of my GT3s is the ride on the street was too harsh. My back was getting worse and I needed something else. I tried a AMGC63 but if you all Porsche guys know what I mean when I say I felt naked without a 911. So I drove the AMG for a year and then bought a 997.2 with PDK. A very nice DD. Then I saw the 50th anniversary 911 and fell in love. But I am feeling GT3 Pangs again since I heard the 991 GT3 was such a good DD as 997RS4.0 said.

 

I take it back. Insanity riens supreme..

Nuts indeed, but what's with the moniker "turbo 3.8" on the back. Everything in the ad suggests a stock TT.

 

Still just a nutty asking price, rather than a sold-for price. Probably a dealer who heard about how crazy the 993TT market was going and thought he'd get some bucks out of some Wall Street guy. That said, it is a pretty low-mileage car, but I still think it's way high.

More pertinent to the thread, I've been watching every 993TT auction on eBay for the past few months and it seems to me like things are at least calming to a degree. Very low mileage cars still go high, but I'd go as far to say that a majority of listed 993TTs go unsold because the asking prices or reserves are too high/greedy and bidding tops out at more sensible numbers. 2012 "sensible" numbers? Not at all. But the trajectory is flattening from earlier in the year, in my observation.

Not sure how reliable eBay is as an indicator, but being someone in the market, I see it as a good thing that it's not always just millionaires mashing Buy It Now regardless of the price. Maybe it's just wishful thinking too and they're still on a rocketship to the stratosphere elsewhere.

 

Wise man!
Not a humble opinion, a rational one that I share.

 

I agree , I just sold my 997.2 RS And replaced it with a 993 TT

 

Congrats Rudy! Now you can start collecting TT's like your S collection!

 

I sold my 993t because I really liked my 991s cab. and felt that two 911's was a bit much. It was the very dumbest thing I have done as an adult. While I still marvel at the capabilities of the 991, it does not put the smile on my face that the tt never failed to do. It is now for sale at Richard Sloan's at a few dollars less than half the price I sold it for. He is under representing it in my opinion. I would buy it back, but I can't bring myself to pay that much more for something I just sold!

 

Lol , I will try

I bought a .2RS and a 07 carrera S when the 993 market started to nuts , just sold them and replaced them with a 993TT and a 993 C2s , those water pumpers never put a smile on my face lithe the 993 do , so I know your feeling , hopefully you can replace your baby soon

 

You mean twice what you sold it for, right?

 

Yes. I sold for 82k and Sloan wants 145,900 or 140,000 depending on who you talk to.
