The only 50k price delta i'm aware of is between GT3 and RS.
There are a number of sellers on here (you know who you are) who bought these cars in the 70s or low 80s and are trying to be bullish now.
Hence my reply to yours above.

Shrug - ok - remind me how many of these you have had?
I am a buyer all day long at 70k for a mid mile bucket'zed GT3 as well, and I already have a GT car. I know tons of others who would echo that.
If you truly want a car set a budget, list of options and go buy one. If you want to try to find a "deal" you likely wont do so here. Watch Craigslist and look for desperation.
$10k or even $20k purchase price difference is meaningless in a car where a new motor is $65k and a trans rebuild is 20. Set your options, find the best car you can afford upfront.
Do what you want, but your process works for BMW m3s not GT cars IMO and having owned multiple of both of those

I'm open. Definitely not a stock car but built with highest quality parts. But I know very limited market for a car like this. I know putting it back to stock would bring more buyers. Car that is definitely driven and cared for- 64k miles I'm the 2nd owner.

Just buy a .1 that already has miles on it. These cars are bulletproof as long as taken care of. Props for buying a car to drive not just one to do cars and coffee/golf courses/AARP get togethers lol

Talk to Switchcars. You should be able to get what you are looking for. You may pay a slight premium but you are getting a car that is going to not have a shady history which is important when dealing with these cars.

I apologize if my replies have been brash - I'm not trying to incite arguments over the internet as its just a waste of everyone's time.
Here is what I am seeing for the last 6 months of researching this purchase.
I have seen values for 997.1s between $79k-114k between 8k-63k miles.
I have seen values for 997.2s between $88k-121k between 8k-48k miles.
Right now the cheapest 997.1 GT3 in the country seems to be a red 50k mile example from NC - again $79k, carfax seems clean but 50k is quite high mileage.
Cheapest 997.2 GT3 is the infamous 2 owner engine replacement GT3 in Houston with from Momentum that everyone seems to pass on, although no accident history.
Ideally my budget for a .1 will be in the low to mid $80ks ideally 25k miles or less with a clean carfax and less than 3 owner prior history, good service records etc.
For .2 I'd like to be no higher than $95k with < 25k miles, again clean carfax, less than 3 owner prior history.
Is this unrealistic?
