Just purchased mine and i have never driven a car that has connected me like this one …i have only driven it twice…unfortunately i must drive it seldomly since ot has 6k miles …. Would like to buy one with high miles amd enjoy it every weekend of whenever just have not seen one with a lot of miles for sale

 

Why buy it if you ain’t gonna drive it?

 

. To have a vaue asset….. plus i enjoy it as an art piece but i do want to buy another one to drive

 

I’m speculating on value here, something I try not to do anymore, but I’d be shocked if even in 20 years, a .2RS (not 4.0) is worth more than $500-750k. So wouldn’t it make more sense to buy the high mileage car you’re thinking of, drive it, it’ll hold value I’m sure and then invest the money that you paid for the low mileage .2RS in an index fund and have a much more proven track record? But I also understand wanting to have that low mileage, perfect car. Nothing wrong with whatever choice you make, but trying to keep the mileage low to make a profit would be challenging and stressful for me.

 

Just drive it. If you put 2-3k on it a year that would be a lot. 5 years later, it is still under 20k and worth more than you paid for it.

 

pretty sure history has proven that generally speaking, "investing" in cars is just a bad, bad, bad idea.

 

i agree. Its just having an exclusive car for my pleasure and hoping it increases in value. I think this one will although last year it was worth 250 and in early 2020 it was 190.

 

If you agree, then drive it and stop overthinking it.

 

All I'm saying is that 4 digit cars command a premium over 5 digit cars. A nice one at that.

 

We need pictures!

 

Just drive it. You are going to be dead for a very long time.

If you want return on investment there are far better investment opportunities than a car. A good investment advisor can guide you depending on your goals.

When you add the true cost of owning a vehicle (service, insurance, storage, consumables) your investment doesn't look all that good.

Secondly, what happens in the next 20 years is going to be nothing like the last twenty years. Change is not the only constant, its accelerating, and I wouldn't bank on there being a market for exotic cars like there is today.

If you love the car, do what it was designed for and drive it—a lot.

 

I decided to drive my car whenever i feel the need….. thanks for all the constructive comments

 

A 997 GT3RS is not a collector car....if you want a collector car go by a 997 4L or a 997 GT2RS.

 

lets see some rolling pics!

 

There are collector cars and there are enthusiast cars, the 9972RS sits as one of the top if not THE top of that list. There is no one in existence that loves to drive that doesn’t want to try it. This car would do awesome in an exotic rental fleet imo, many would choose it over a new Ferrari.

Just like all 500 unit build cars some examples will end up in collections because there will probably never be factory cars with goofy graphics and colors like this again, and ofc it’s the last manual RS.

But unlike most exotic cars, nearly every one of them has been driven as intended…and unlike most collector cars these will most likely perform great well into 100k miles in spite of us actually using them
