Any idea of sale prices actually being fetched here?

Yes the red 996 GT3 at CTS did sell for 139K .........I know this because I purchased the Black C2 S on the weekend as was talking all things Porsche with the sales people there ...............

Unsure about the WA car but it wasn't around too long at $109k so would guess it was sold for not far off asking price. Only guessing though.

In regards to the yellow one I know it was sold for a 'little less' than asking price of $149k.

I have had a small argument (which I think I've won) with Shannons and I believe they will now agree to insure my car for $150k.

All of that said the market is nowhere near as hot for our cars as it is for 911 SCs for $80 - $90k and it will be interesting to see where things head in the next 6 months with the heat coming out of the market generally and the world economy looking more bearish. Having tracked mine on Sunday gone by, if pricing comes off they are an absolute bargain in terms of how unreal they are to drive versus cost.

And so they should. They agreed to 150 for mine based on that red one and the yellow one your mate bought further justifies that I believe. Looks like your mate got an awesome car.

150K is justified in this market ,,,,you are struggling to get one at the moment ,,,let alone a low mileage mint car ,,,,,,the insurance company,s have to come to the reality that this is what they are worth .....

Yes the speed yellow car is a belter. Yet to see it, but it sounds great.

Thanks guys, it's great to see that they are fetching prices more representative of the pedigree. A friend of mine struggled to sell his 996.1 for $105k about 12-18 months ago. Super clean car with full CS package...

Haven't seen a 997.2 come up for sale in a while just to see how they go... Mine will likely only leave my lifeless hands

I probably need to revisit insurance value too...

I had the opportunity to purchase this car around 12 months ago for $105K.......at the time we were building a new home and I was short on storage space so I decided to wait till we finished the build...As I didn,t want to put the car in storage
What a mistake that was ,,,,,,as prices have risen sharply as we know ,,,,,still kicking my self for missing the boat

I remember that car, it was online for approx 18 months and just wouldnt move. I think the original asking price was around 127K? If I remember correctly, its a PR Tech car with some great track mods. Funnily enough I ended up with a PR Tech car with pretty much identical upgrades, except not a clubsport.

Yes I was kicking my self at the time for passing it up ,,,,,,but am happy I did so now ,I think my recent purchase was a better choice for the type of weekend touring I do ..........

So after too much referring things to supervisors and being asked a bunch of questions Shannons have finally agreed to $150k on the GT3 and also $150k on my 993 Carrera S (Tip so not as expensive as the manual).

$155k with 85k klms. Tourer. Nice looking car.

Interesting. Only $25k more, 25k klms less and next gen 997 compared with the SY 996...

Which would you take?

spiller

I love my 996 but id take the 997 with less kms over a bone stock 996 tourer every day of the week.

Raven 666

I would take the 7 ,,,,,based purely on the fact that the 7,s are more of an attractive car in my opinion ,,,no disrespect to those that have 6,s ,,,,the 7,s just do it for me ..............
