There's a white gen 1 GT3 down the street from me with cup wing and BBS wheels and it's every bit as sexy as my RS. If I could move to a nice gen 1 NB and put $75k on the mortgage, I'd do it, as a workin' stiff. cash f

Yah I hear ya. I just know if I get a standard 997 GT3 I will still lust after an RS and eventually will find a way to get one. But if values hold well maybe play with the regular one while I save the extra cash for the RS

Well, that explains the salvage title and severely contradicts the selling dealer's rather glowing description that only mentioned "a replaced right quarter panel".

This is a perfect example of why I much prefer a person-to-person private sale of a pre-owned vehicle whenever possible. Isn't the current seller the one that builds the fake GT3's and RS's from totalled donor cars and usually markets them on ebay?

Agree. Regardless of what some say here- they will use it as a bargaining tool when come selecting a car /w out radio as they know that individual that wants a radio delete is far less common then one who wants a radio. Therefore less bites on car. More bites drives prices up. Or sit and wait for a bite for something very few fish in a ocean want, hopefully your bate wont decay by all the time waiting.

The sooner a lot of people realize that a GT3 is NOT a track car, the better off you will be. It's a great, great street car that CAN go to the track and have fun with time to time. A track car is something that is dedicated for the track. Porsche makes them, it's called a GT3 cup.

My KBB 997 S Coupe - Price increased by 25% This month....

Have the 997s finally started to realize their value? Or did it take that long for KBB to realize it?

Has 991.2's TurboGate thrown an asteroid into the Porsche Ocean?

I just checked my wifes 09 997.2 CS cab and its up $12k from the last time I checked maybe a year ago. Nice to see a boost to the standard 997 as well.
