Gentleman

Given you guys are some of the most knowledgable GT3 guys on the planet, I have a request for some information and advice.

I have recently acquired as part of a collection a 2007 GT3 (White with Black) with only 300 miles. Purchased originally from Gaudin Porsche (Vegas) in 2008. Shipped to Europe kept in ambient conditions and cared for as part of a large private collection in Switzerland.

It is as new, never driven apart from being started and rotated once a week.

It is a wonderful example and brand new.

I can send it back to the USA as it is a US Dealer supplied car.

Questions/advise sought:

(1) Value in keeping it (appreciating asset)?

(2) Any specialist buyers I can offer it to?

(3) Any private buyer on the forum interested?

(4) If advertised, where would you advertise it to max the value?

I also have a (Black/Black) 2008, 200 mile C4S Cab Triptronic as well, if anyone is interested.

Many thanks in advance

Sunroof GT3 is a great 911 to have and values are indeed strong.
The sunroof GT3 was not the right car to mothball however... It is in the shadow of the RS and the 997.2 GT3 series....

Being such a low mile car, it will have a different market of buyers. Buyer who will buy anything with low miles.

Hard car to put a price on it. $150k-$190k?

U.S market with strong dollar is an option. But you would want to get it there first.

An auction that sees alot of Porsches would be nice. RM perhaps.

Best to give Sloancars a call and see what they would give you for a quick sale....

Too bad about the 200 mile C4S cabrio... tiptronic and not DFI... Typically a $50k car with miles.... So maybe a $100k car?

 

Isn't this just a not very well disguised for sale ad by a non-member with 1 post? Is that the RL way? Good luck with the sale...and now let's hear from the "these cars were meant to be driven" contingent.

**Edit** Actually, I'm calling BS on the OP. Why would a person buy a car that was made over there, ship it back to over there, and stick it in storage? Don't they sell GT3's in Europe? This whole story is stupid. Or it's an example of the commercial running on TV these days of the super rich paying stupid money to do stupid things. Either way, I'm not buying it (pun intended). Or, to answer your question, it's a 7 year old car with low miles. Kelly Blue Book says $85,248. Of course that would not include shipping.

 

$80k

 

Gentlemen

Its simple:

The car is obviously for sale and I am asking for advice there is nothing disguised about my request at all.

The benefit to me is that I get good honest advice and a short learning curve

The advantage to anyone who is a regular is that he has first shot at a desirable car, might just be what they have been looking for.

For the doubters:

Car was purchased by a collector for his collection in Switzerland

He bought it and shipped it, $/CHF FX was great in 2008.

He died his estate have sold the vehicles, I purchased 11 cars

USA spec car will make more money in the USA market

Any one interested can email me , all docs will be provided by email immediately ,any verification can be made

Apologies if I have offended anyone, I was just asking for help.

Thanks for the guys who have taken the trouble to help, what a cynical world we live in.

Further I will sell it at $5,000 under USA market price to anyone on the forum, want to call Bull**** now?

Regards

 

A non-sunroof car would be more interesting as all US .1 GT3's came with a roof.
This is a car for a buyer who wants sit on it not drive it.

 

Thanks tcsracing1 for your advice.

Will contact Sloanecars if I do not get anyone on the forum who wants it.

 

I sent you an email. Am interested

 

ok now that you're advertising for sale pony-up for the reg fees.

 

Are you for real? You just bought this super low mile car and need help to flip it?

Next thread please!

 

Dear 997rs4.0

I am for real as is the car and I need help to flip it in the US.

Only reason a US spec car after rudimentary research will fetch more in US than in Europe.

Help is all I asked for......

Regards

 

by the time some of you stop bitching, the car will long gone/sold.
jees - i thought house wifes was annoying.
they should do a "forum wife's" tv series for some of you .

 

sloan may be your best choice
sunroof GT3 7.1 is a driver car, not a collector car.
$100k on a good day, i mean it seriously.
there is no way you will fetch 150+. i have traded several 7.1RS with 1k-2k miles for $160 or less in the last few months. so that's your gauge.

 

Mooty

Thanks for the advice.

I have emailed sloane and have had a few members contact me. Thanks for the gauge as well, much appreciated that you took the time out to help.

Regards

 

Excuse me, but it just seamed weird that you buy such a low mile car and not really know the value of the car! But to help you out. I doubt you will get more money for it in the US than you would in Europe? Contact someone like garage 11 in Germany and see if they can help you out.
