This is me. I want ALL the money for my RS. As I am about ready to part ways but it is also very hard to give up so it needs to be a compelling amount.

Yes, the last year of production runs always trade stronger, it's just how it is.
Look at CGT, 05 trades premium to the 04 model year.

Same love here for 07 and 08. In fact prefer them all day to 10 and 11 model years.

Nah my 2011 should be worth 100k more because im the only one that can truly say “the last manual GT3RS 3.8 ever, ever ever”

There's a black 2010 .2 with 16K miles on it listed for $210K at Grand Prix Motors.

At least $100K Dan. 😉

Don’t do it Vin! Thought it would be the one car with the best chance of breaking your car churning habit.

I’m also going to miss your RS content too much and was hoping for a 4.1 Sharkwerks build video first .

Here is what people are missing. This board is littered with seller's remorse, anecdotally that has been my sense with my local community as well. Owners who actually sold then had to struggle and get back into a 997GT car, they will point blank tell you, do not sell.

A - Most never find a better 911 driving experience
B - The car, most likely, is only going to up in value
C - Buying back into a good 997GT example is not easy

I think going to BAT or off-loading to a dealer in many ways -- is the seller pulling the remorse band-aid off and just tying to move on...These cars are that good IMVHO, so sellers want their price to justify moving on, or they need their price to help pay the next seller's price for a better example.

+1 Don't sell! We need good content... @vma1788

I agree 💯 with the above statement. I still haven’t met a single person that have sold a 997 GT3 and didn’t regret the sale immediately after. A few months later you see them looking to get back into one. Don’t do it unless you are retiring completely from automotive hobby.

Oh totally, I don't think there is a better car. I just live in a crowded city area and sort of don't enjoy driving a $300k car around in heavy congestion traffic. I drive it a couple of times a week and to the mountains often but that is an hour each way just to enjoy it. Thinking my risk threshold is slightly lower. Maybe a high mile .1 non RS with some prev paint work and a .2 rs gearset is more suiting for me HAHA.

Makes sense to me, especially if you're staying with a 997 GT car. RS values are crazy compared to the NB cars at the moment and take a bigger hit on mileage so if you're not a collector and are just after the driving experience, you can save a lot of anxiety and pocket some of that sweet equity.

For the RS price differential, you could have a well sorted NB car and 1-2 air cooled, boxster spyder, etc.

Get up at 4:30 am for a drive. It's what I do. Car is worth it.

haha with the dundon exhaust setup, his neighbors probably prefer he didn't.

I push my car out of the garage, let it roll down the drive backwards and get it rolling down the street before I fire it up in the early am, although I have not driven it in over a month. It sits in the garage under two covers and a trickle.
