Carrera GT

As a seller of a 3.8 RS and a would-be buyer of a 4.0 RS, I'd say the market is $135K for the 3.8 RS and $200K for the 4.0 ... of course if the shoe were on the other foot ...

The interesting thing I've noted in the last 30 days is the high priced 4.0's on the market are still on the market. The 3.8's are selling and new inventory is appearing. I haven't taken time to figure out whether the trend is higher, give or take the transition from winter doldrums to spring and summer activity. It seems to be a stronger market for the seller all round. I think the buyers are tired of the primary market where there's literally no competition for the GT3 and RS.

$95 is a great deal....

Bart I was thinking the same thing....08 .1 GT3 with <8k miles to a 11 .2 GT3 RS w/ same or lower mileage...but too much of a delta.

I'm just going to continue to enjoy the bad*ssness of my current car a few more years. It's not too terrible a compromise.

Not a bad compromise at all

There will ALWAYS be something that's an upgrade to what you have which is why I don't see myself "upgrading" anytime soon. If I did, then I'd say, it's only "X" more to get into the next step up. Time to enjoy what so few have the privilege to drive.......

$25k difference between 2007-08 997.1 GT3 and 2010-2011 997.2 GT3.

for $25k you get:

3.8L engine
no sunroof
better aero
better shock valving
crappy center lock wheels
more remaining warranty

P.J.S.

Is the gearing different from .1 to .2 gt3?

Same final drive

To elaborate just a bit more, one piece of info I would like to add is MUCH BETTER AERO. Down force is vastly increased from .1 to .2. As far as gearing, I was under the impression they are the same. Gearing is only different b/w a regular GT3 and a RS.

I know what I'm going to say next is going to get all you purist in a huge tither. I hate to admit it but I LOVE my sunroof.

Ok, there, I said it and I don't care how much DE prize money it costs me. On the occasional beautiful day I like to have it open along with all the windows and soak in the sun and all the sounds the GT3 has to offer. With the addition of my Sparko seat it's the only 'luxury' I have left.

Be gentle.........

tcsracing1

actually, you are right. aero is better and gearing is unchanged. My mistake... will fix it.

LVDell

Right there with ya. Not only do I enjoy it and know it costs me a few tenths a lap at my DE cup days, but more importantly......my boy loves it!!! It's the first thing he asks me to open when we get in the car.

<------ happy boy

me too -

true..not as bad of a delta as with a RS....and close to price of a 3.9 sharky upgrade

I have seen multiple .2 RS sell locally in the 11Xs over the last few months. I haven't even seen a used one advertised over $130K locally for a long time.

.2 also has stiffer springs due to the increased downforce, which is the primary reason why the dampening is different. It always has a different sway bar setup due to the different balance form the suspension revisions. As a .2 owner, my recommendation is if you are not specifically looking for one with PDEM; buy a .1.

Locally here in Texas this seems to be the break down of clean, low mileage cars.

997.1 GT3 -$75-80K

997.1 GT3 RS -$85-98K

997.2 GT3 -$99-106K

997.2 GT3 RS -$130K+

I have been hounding the internet and local dealers for months now and these are pretty consistent number across the board regardless of private sellers or at dealerships. Best buy is definitely the 7.1 GT3 but the best car for the money is the 7.2 GT3 especially if you can snag one around the $98-100K range.

Best of luck in your search, there are quite a few great cars out there to be had, happy hunting.
