Ha. I've got 2 997RS already. If I manage a '16RS it will just clog up my warehouse. I'd keep it and launch one of my RS Americas.

In part, it's because there is nearly double the amount of 991.1 GT3s built already then all of the 997 GT3s (mk 1 & 2) produced. Smaller supply will mean less will come to the market for sale.

Better or worse there is no reason why these shouldn't be 2x more than an TS America or 4x one of the 250k built air cooled SC cars people rave about

Tricking out caymans is the only "cheap" way to track p cars now

Get the new Spyder or the old one? Kind of different animals as the new one seems to be more about power and the old one about weight savings.

I picked up a 987 Spyder in October and LOVE it! Sort of underpowered but the handling is just magical, better than the GT3. Feels ands sounds (with factory sport exhaust) like a go kart. With factory shift shifter in place I also love the feel of the manual gear box, best I e driven in a while. Really enjoying this car!

I sold my 997.1 GT3 to another member on here in May, oh those feeling of regret...

Here is what I have noticed, it seems to me that cars are priced higher but nothing is really moving, as others have said, they tend to sit on the market for a long time. Fair market price for a decently low mile 997.1 GT3 is probably about 87K. The delta in pricing between the 997.1 and 997.2 has really tightened up.

I've also noticed that Canada has caught up to the USA for pricing, back in June there was a solid 30% savings to be had picking up a GT3 north of the border. I missed out on two different RS's to American buyers.

I'm hoping a specific car comes up for sale eventually, a rebuilt 997.1 RS that wasn't a horrible crash victim. I would rather own a GT3 RS that I could drive all the time, not care about door dings or parking lot taps, sliding into a wall at the track etc.

Brilliant cars anyway. If the buyer of my car wanted to sell it back to me for the same price, it would be on its way back to Canada.

AutoGallery Woodland Hills has a UV 991RS for $400k

Yup, they've had it for several months. They can choke on it for all I care. That's the #1 scumbag stealership out there.

Definitely cooling off. But because of winter? Hmmm...I thought it was because of all the coolant hose leaks

audipwr1

What leaks, spend $4k never see a leak again

I hope it cools down as my plan is to add one every year or so. The 997 with mezger and six speed go down in history as the last in the line of any real racing heritage.

As it is right now the only thing the 991 has related to racing is its thin skin

I have started to hunt for a 997.2 RS with, god forbid, track use and high miles so I can drive it.

My 997.1 is for sale for the right price, but at a penny below it, I'll keep it till I croak. Most other owners are the same way, no need to sell them as they are the perfect example of a Pcar

^^^ This.
What one has to realize is that almost everything is cooling off...or will soon be cooling off. It's a good thing. But give it a few more years, the 997 GT cars will be much sought after.
I'll be searching for a 997 Carrera GTS as a daily beater before long, as 991 Carrera's will be flooding the market.

GT4 already has more racing heritage that the 991 GT3. GT4CS will prove out the 3.8 9A1 and standard PDK - will be interesting to see how competitive they are and if they stand the duty cycles.

The 991 chassis is too good. Mistakes are forgiven and the car has many luxuries. So it's a great DD or GT car. The 991 GT3 R is being delivered with a DFI engine. Let's see how long those last.

The 997 GT3 cars, well these are real sports cars. Love the racing heritage, the engine, transmission, etc. We will never see such race car reincarnation to street car again. Never selling my 997.1 GT3. I don't care if I'm homeless. To me the epitome of the 997 generation was the .1.
