that seems like a really good deal for a relatively low mile white car...at a Porsche dealer no less!

 

Good luck finding a 996GT3 manual stick shift. Those are very rare...

 

I get the joke I know they only came with manuals, 😂😂😂 also I saw this one but the car fax or report for the repairs and oil and filter change and how much it has sat is not attractive. And they come with my problems if they sit for too long

t

 

😂😂😂 yeah they are really rare, you can’t find any manuals only automatic 😂🤦🤦 man It slipped my mind that they only were manual back then, honest mistake 😂

you served that one up real nice, everyone had to spike it! 😉

 

My father has an 04 and from all the trivia I have learned I should have realized 😂😂 but I am glad everyone was able to make a joke out of it 😂

White???

 

It’s silver haha 😂

 

Ooops...the photos were so light it looked white on my computer. My bad. Still a good deal though!

 

No problem at all, I can understand why that might have looked white. I think it's not the wort I've seen for sure, I am going to email them and ask for the DME report and historical vehicle maintenance report and see how it is.

 

This one had a "track incident" with repairs and repaint... clean Carfax.

Thank you very much! I had not come across this one, I am very worried to see the Track incident though. especially 6k worth of repairs. My best guess it was the transmission from not putting in the clutch as it spun, a Money shift, or if the coolant lines had not been pinned when this occurred it could have dumped coolant, and needed to be repaired.

 

Hey Vernin, to clarify my post, this is the same car that was posted above that is currently for sale at Porsche North Olmsted. They would otherwise likely be asking > $130k.

Best of luck on your search.

Preamble History:
There were a TOTAL of 3,230 2.7 Carreras built between 1973 and 1976 but the 1583 built in the 1st year are worth all the money. 1st generation, like it or not, will always command a premium.


I know of a really nice black one is but it won't be $110,000. Not marketed and owned by a collector broker friend.

Regarding economic climate.
Guys I know or have known in the business with staying power and the ability to weather market fluctuations have done very very well. The pumped and dumped Turbo market finally came back but the weak hands bailed and a lot of money was lost out of fear. I recall an auction house specialist telling me that he was turning away 930's when the market tanked and the owners all wanted reserves that met what they had paid. Doesn't work that way in a falling market. BTW, a well known PCA contributor wrote an article hailing these as great collector cars and put some pretty wild numbers on them at the time.
Here's an article on that ugliness:
https://www.hagerty.com/media/market...che-911-turbo/
The aforementioned gentleman holding the Black 6GT was at Amelia with a very nice silver over lobster 930. He got out JUST IN TIME and was happy to miss the falling knives.

Holding in uncertain times can paid dividends but you may have to hold for longer than is comfortable so YMMV. '73 RS's bounced all over the place for years until roughly the time the 6 GT's took off (circa 2014)
Watched a '73RS go across the block for 7 figures at an auction and recalled I could have bought the same car for $72,000 in 2004. The '73S I had at the time I viewed and drove it was not a lot different to me. Sure the RS was up 10% hp and 8% torque on paper. Flairs are neat but "no real value here" I thought.
These retreated some in the past 3-4 years but are back now in the midst of a poor economy.

Good luck with the hunt!

 

^^^ sage advice. These cars have softened a bit lately but the long term trajectory will be up.
