GT3 Nut

I am ONLY THINKING about this right now. I just want to determine what my car would sell for IF - BIG IF - I decided to sell my 07 RS.
It is Orange, has under 2000 miles. Options are:
PCCB, Gear lever trim in orange, GT3 RS logo on storage cmpt lid, floor mats.
Total MSRP $136,690.00
It has 996 GT3 seats and an orange DasSport bar.
I also have steel rotors for track and Pagid RS19 pads (997 Cup rear rotors and AP Slotted floating hat fronts)
It also has the Sharkwerks exhaust - sounds sweet!
I also have 2 sets of Fikse Profil 5S (black anodized)
The seats, harnesses, roll bar, and wheels could go with it or sell seperately.
What is the going price right now?

Again, I am ONLY thinking about it. I really love the car - my favorite Porsche street car ever - but I feel like I don't use it enough. I have the cup car for club races and de's. I have taken the car to DE's and it is really impressive, but .... is it worth it?
I don't drive it enough on the street as it is. It seems pointless anyway. It wants to go, not putt around town. And I only have so much time anyway.... And money is a little tighter these days too.
Thoughts?

I think you should trade it for a GT silver GT 3 straight up!!!

GT3 Nut

That is such a generous offer! I will sleep on it

say it aint so matt...i understand your reasoning though with having the cup car.

the car is really meant to be driven to the track, around the track, and home again. I can see how having a cup car makes it a bit redundant...I'd love to have a second RS myself...similarly low optioned too.

perhaps trade with a carrera white '08 gt3 + cash

mooty

i think 25k over msrp if the car is stock.

the mods, you can just add on the price.

periodically i think of the same thing (selling that is). the orange car isn't even parked at my garage most of the time. it's off site. i think i bought one too many GT3's hahhaa..

and chk your PM

Mooty - what's going on? I hear that you are planning to sell the 996 GT3, and now you are thinking of selling the pumpkin? I am not a doctor, but I am going to make a citizen's diagnosis that you have ADD!

Seriously, I drool over your garage (except for the rats).... What other cars could be more compelling for track toys/weekend drivers?

And to GT3Nut - I have enjoyed your posts over the years on the 996 GT3 forum, and now that you have a 996 Cup for the track and are thinking of getting rid of the 997 GT3 RS it begs the question - what will you drive ont he street to chill out after a long week at the office? Will the Ducati become your primary therapy on wheels?

(On that note - I am SO tempted to add a Ducati Monster to the track garage. I secretly got my motorcycle license a few years back. The wife will never know!)

Sell it. You can always find another one later. Especially if you already have a Cup car, there is a bit of redundancy if you don't drive the RS on the street. I sold my white GT3 for the same reason - it wasn't going to be street driven much, nor track driven much.

I'd take the race seats & the roll bar out & put the stock seats back in it for daily comfort. Then start driving it on the street.

no no... i am beyond ADD. i think i am borderline insane.

i dont really want to sell 996gt3, but if anyone willing to pay me 85k, yes, they can have it ;-)

well, no rats now.
EMBARRASSINGLY, the rat was ME with OCD.
i put down lots of poison and traps, no kills.
there were ZERO rat poop anywhere, i sweep the garage floor every weekend as part of OCD and never saw poop.
also, i never had rats so why all of a sudden.
then the damage in the wire was limited to a very small area.....

an area INSIDE the engine bay, that i just WAXED.... (yes, i wax there too)
i remembered my micro fiber towel was caught right at that corner, where the wiring as at.... the CEL came up after my detailing.... so i think it was I who damaged the wire.


i really want a cup car. but i dont race.... so i would be troubled by traffic during DE and plus wife wont approve tow truck or trailer and they are too big to hide, both physically and $$$ wise.

i seem my influence there.
you better first invest in a good mattress for the track garage just in case your wife finds out about the "non-existent" motorcycle license.

Mooty - we have much in common... I struggle with the Cup questions as well, and have often ventured that Leprechans are stealing from my track budget. I mean where else could the money be going????

Futon is on order at IKEA btw...

Having a trailer in San francisco is PITA. I dont regret selling it at all. Mike

If you can find a dummy to pay over MSRP, sell it...

Price is going to collapse when next GT3 arrives next year.
