Agreed. And Paul at Auto Kennel in Costa Mesa right along with Switchcars -- his pricing is fair, vehicles are sorted, and outstanding to deal with.

That's crazy that a 41k mile base interior car got that much. They didn't even need to show it with the OEM wheels. Just a mention that they came with the car.

I'll definitely never give any of them my business. They add literally 0 value
Have you purchased a car from Switchcars in the past?

I think model may be quite the similar. Obtain a car, mark it up and sell it. Why would you sell without making money. Granted one dealership seems to get their cars from private party undisclosed sellers and the other from whoever has the car.

three years of steady ROI for dealers… inventory is so low 3-4 dealers could make the market, so doesn’t seem like they will stop anytime soon. The only real way to fix this is to make more or just all agree these cars are terrible and no one should buy one

Agreed. Remembering back to 2021 especially begin of year to summer, there were like no cars available and if one popped up it was gone in an instant.

The price difference between the RS and GT3 has been too wide the last couple years. I've had my GT3 for over six years but it's got more attention in the last couple years. Don't underestimate how much those Youtube videos convey how special our cars are. I got a 997.1 Carrera to tool around in because I was driving my GT3 less frequently but not ready to sell.

997 GT3 and RS are terrible cars, people! New and faster = always better. Clutch is is so heavy makes you ready for your knee replacement.

If anyone hadn't seen Matt Farah's 992 Touring vs S/T video -- the only ending he needed to add: "if you want a truly special 911, find a 997 GT3 RS."

If you know the price, can you just post it up? Help us members out.

As it stands now, it doesn't look like BAS is going to make that much on this car. So far I see $3,200 profit, less the cost to get the car to the dealership, less any prep for sale costs. Looks like the only profit they might see is if they sell those seats. I'll bet they got the car and was like, wow this one is rough.

This is not a GT car, but a C2S Cabriolet in Europe. Wanted to get your guyses thoughts on the spec. It’s PTS Sepia Brown/brown and cream interior. Has Cream White accents on the exterior and leather on pretty much every surface on the interior. Porsche Exclusive went to town on this car. Spec is not my cup of tea, but haven’t seen a 997 specced like this before.
