You are correct @motobri
Classified ad, vice an auction with a reserve.

This similar one was RNM at $120K (all in) two years ago...with 1/3 the mileage.

Who knows if RF or GP Motors actually get their lofty list prices?

As a seller, the only way to ensure max sale price is to ask far above what you might accept- so you can't blame the guy for the high ask. Clearly the car has been well maintained and tastefully modded- but the miles are double or triple what the upper range of "low" is considered to be for these now 13/14 year-old cars.

The Aerokit is not universally appreciated, but it does add to the unique factor-which sometimes fetches more $.

We will likely never see the actual sale price, but I would guess about $100K will change hands if a deal is consummated.

 

Here's a C4 GTS PDK Coupe at GP... asking $115K with 7K miles:

Couple of PDK GTS cabs also in their inventory:

If you want to dive deep into world-wide 997 GTS sale price data, this is the rabbit hole site- every dot on the graph is a link to the sale web site: https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/91...2/carrera-gts/

 

Congrats on your new wheels @993Guy !

I also own a 6 speed Meteor Grey 997 GTS Cabriolet. It's one of 21 delivered in the US. Here's a post I wrote that walks through how I determined the rarity of my car... https://www.gtsence.com/how-rare-is-your-997-gts/

I just reviewed all the data that I used for that post. Most of the 21 were delivered with the standard black/grey interior. One car.. yours.. had terracotta. So yes, very rare.

​

 

From what I can see, there were actually only two North American GTS models in total with terracotta interior (the other being a 2011 manual coupe in Black). Terracotta appears to be the rarest interior of all (other than the three cars produced with leather-to-sample interiors).

Oops, missed that. Will delete. Please delete from your "quote" as well. I don't want to muddy the water.

What was the mileage on the $115K sale? And do you know if they got full asking price? I can't find the listing. If it sold for anywhere near asking price, that's close to sticker for brand new GTS's back in 2011 and 2012. Sticker on my 2011 RWD was just shy of $118K but the PDK added $4,300 to the price of a manual. If they got close to asking price for a 4 GTS that's pretty impressive imo. since the RWD cars typically get a premium over AWD.

 

just a little surface rust on rotor hat. LoL I would have cleaned that up 1st before posting.

It should is nice to see the 997.2 GTS pricing so strong.

Here's another one that may just have been listed. Though PDK, seems like a great spec.

No price yet.

 

$135k build. Classic colour combination.

There are cars out on the market that are well below that. See below as an example (although not AWD but its CPO). That car from GP could have also been sold at wholesale auction. It is very hard for a normal consumer to see market pricing. The only real visibility we have into actual market clearing prices are, for the most part, auction sites.

I don't recall exactly, but think it was < 10K. (Edit: It was 7K miles)
No way to know what it sold for.
Ask and actual sale price may not be equal.
I think it's safe to say that the GTS is not depreciating. Not a lot of data points, since the owners seem to like them and hang on.
The "steals" in past sale history seem to be related to poor presentation, lack of maintenance history or just blind luck.

I just completed several mods to mine, all reversible and OEM parts retained, which have been in the works but not consummated since before Covid.
Shift box, ducktail, Speedster lip, OZ forged wheels, respray front clip and new lip, etc.,etc.
As you are acutely aware, the mods seldom generate increased value when selling- even good ones that are superior to OEM- but I am done worrying about things like that. Make it like you want it and drive it!
