From Hagerty:

"Generally speaking, about 15 percent of vehicles leave the market every year. Of those, most are newer than you’d expect—those between roughly 10 and 20 years old see the highest rates of attrition, according to data from IHS/Markit. Where they go is a bit of a mystery. Many get scrapped, to be sure, but bookkeeping at junkyards is unreliable, to say the least. Moreover, a vehicle that’s “gone” could very well be parked safely in someone’s garage. This is particularly true of collector cars."

My opinion is that they are more active in the market of flipping than say Zweck…which is not a dig on them, just an observation.

From what I know, they are an honest dealer, with a great reputation, which seeks out top tier cars…and I wouldn’t hesitate buying from them.

I was merely drawing a distinction between the two.

I’m in the market and looking everywhere for the right car and because I’m really looking for yellow or red I’m getting to see cars on autotrader, cars.com etc time and again, over the last moth there seems to have been a noticeable drop in listing price for GT3’s, turbos and other models that interest me - anything nephrite green interior, 996’s, 7’s even a 992 that a friend sold to a dealer 6 months ago for $205k and it’s now listed for $209k. Jayemm just put out a video seeing same in the UK. Is this just a moment in time or a downward trend? I’m wondering if I should just wait longer.

I have a 997TT, SY996XAA and 987s in my garage so it’s not all good news and I’ll have to sell one to get a GT3, but more are feeling ‘within reach’ than they were months ago.

I know a lot of you are watching - would love to hear some thoughts. Of course if the one that speaks to me suddenly shows up above my budget I’m not going to nickel and dime, but I wouldn’t for one that doesn’t

56,279 MILES

$105,000



I bought the car 7/01/2021 from a broker in Orlando who was selling it for the owner on consignment. My intention was to make it track ready and run it at PCA events in the East. It had 55,792 miles on it at that time. I drove it from Orlando to my home in Fort Myers, FL. (180 miles). I scheduled an appointment with AutoQuest MotorSports in Fort Myers to get the coolant lines pinned. During the time they had the car, I suffered a stroke and for the safety of others on track, I made the decision to retire from my track days.



I put the car on my lift, fixed the alternator than quit working when they re-installed the engine, and haven't driven it other than around the neighborhood occasionally.



I love the car, and think it would be a great track car. I just can't justify it for the street.

Google the VIN and read the back story on it in pretty good detail.

curious that the PTS turbo wasn’t listed on admin.Porsche.com back in the day and comes up as a $ only record on vin analytics. Last 5 is 85518. If that had a nephrite green interior I’d likely hand over my wallet for it and not look back!!

I have had more comments on the 996 Turbo than the GT3. To clarify, the 996tt is not for sale and probably won't be. I bought it 10 years ago with 36k miles on it. It now has 100k and a salvage title. I can drive it anywhere. I can park it anywhere without guilt. I love it and won't part with it. It does have nephrite green interior for the guy who asked. I would like to sell the GT3 and keep the turbo.

Is it manual and does it have heated seats?

wolf300tt

They are both 6 speed. I can't remember if the seats are heated. You should private message me.

If anyone thinking of selling a clean 996 GT3, under 35k miles, please message me. Ready to pull the trigger.

hopefully he sits on it two years.
I got so disgusted with the 996 GT3 market I went out and bought a 997 for less than that.

JS

Not shocked at all.

All dealers are the same, but in this market you have a few that tie up all the nice 996 and 997 GT cars so they can manipulate the prices up.

Someone mentioned looking for a yellow car. There is a 22k mile SY 997.1 w/PCCB for sale $155k

SY 997.1 GT3

EDIT: Be wary of that car. It needs a PPI before making a purchase.

It’s very unfortunate. I delt with such tactics when I was in the market a 996 turbo. I lost a few cars to a certain shop in Miami who would then turn around and list the cars for 30 -to 50k more than purchased. Not a very pleasant fella to talk with either…but, boy I’d love to get a NA mezger if i had the extra garage space. For now window shopping will have to do as i follow the market.
