I think more to do with the check engine light and it being a California dealer with emissions/smog.

Good news with this car is the previous owner has had it since 2015. That drivers side rear caliper is starting to turn a maroon color, or it is the lighting, which would indicate that traction control has been kicking in which typically indicates some track time. Passenger side rear mudflap/trim piece is barely hanging on. I'd be replacing the wheels ($4k used), getting a factory intake, and setting aside $5-10k to get it up to date on anything it isn't. Since the one damage report occurred under the current owner, they should have some info what that was about. But I'm guessing a front bumper repaint that they used insurance for.

I think all of us want a minty car, but if you plan to put miles on it and just drive it, then it could be a great car for you. If you're obsessive about paint and damage history, then probably not the car for you. But it certainly is the right car for someone. That's the issue with a generic damage report, we can make up in our head how big or small the damage is.

For example they have produced over 5,000 992 gt3's, 2350 GT4RS's, over 1800 992 GT3RS's so far. However the demographic buying the newer generation cars and those chasing the 997's is very different. Also if we compare production numbers, we have 450 997.1 GT3RS's in America and 650 997.2 GT3RS's and I would assume 10%+ of those have either been crashed or exported by now reducing the numbers even more. This means we won't really see more than 10 or so per sale of each generation RS at the same time.

Now my second opinion as to why the 997's won't be as affected by newer prices is the demographic that is buying them. It's typical an older demographic that wants something more raw and a drivers car that does not care about the hype/flexing of the new cars. That demographic is older and can hold these cars through any kind of dip because its their "dead mans" car and they wouldn't sell it unless something truly catastrophic happened(on top of alot of owners owning them for cash or owning them when they were 100-200k so they don't care if it drops in value because they are already way ahead) along with them not really having any new car to upgrade except a 4.0(way out of most peoples league).

While it would affect some people making a decision if they want a 997 RS or a newer RS for the same price but those decisions have already been made when anyone here could have bought a 991.1 3RS for 200k but instead paid 200k+ for a 997 3RS which I think will just continue. That's my 2 cents as to why I believe the 997 RS market is more insulated than the newer cars and will hold.
I just bought a 997.2 GT3 6 months ago, and I was 37 years old at the time…am I old now?! 🤮😂

or you could be like me and tell yourself you want a drivers car that already has a front bumper respray so you can stop acting OCD around it, turns out I can’t change who I am and have essentially replaced everything that even remotely looked used… I even have brand new date correct wheels (long story) and now I’m onto the PPF.

I don’t know what I’ve put into it but I could have bought a $5k mile example for the same price lol, so if you don’t enjoy the refurb journey as much as me I would just pay up now lol

Most everyone that I know with 997 GT3s are in their late 30’s/early 40’s.

Is it missing some of it's airbox?

Price seems about right, maybe even a touch high with aftermarket rims

Has rennline Track mats installed

I wonder what these guys would come down on this Canada car since it’s been a while now. I bet someone never imagined it would be a $20k mistake to option out the bucket seats.

Seem to also still have this one they are pretty proud of

haven't seen a 997 GT3 on the track for quite some time now. Not sure sport buckets are as high a priority now if not tracking?

Bought mine 2 years ago at 33… Nostalgia + 90s-00 is the best era of driver cars.
