is it me or the .1 RS have disappeared from the market. don't see many for sale anymore. pretty interesting

abcut973

The few that are for sale sit probably because they are overpriced and collectors already have theirs. Therefore people looking for a car to actually enjoy do not want to pay that premium.

Park Place has a .2 RS they've had for sale for 6 months for an asking price of 330K. Car has like 300 miles. They finally reduced their asking price to 299K! Still 50k over what I think the car is worth. Just my 2 worthless cents.

Those cars are just fishing expeditions.

I'll sell my rs. When it has 100k+ miles on it. And I've gotten every last smile I'm able to out of the thing.

RS Bottom, how far do you guys think we may be from the bottom and settling to real world.

misterwaterfall

Depends. Does the S&P go to 1700? 1500? 2350? If we have another 2008 then I think prices come way down. If things in the market/economy remain healthy I don't see why RS prices don't remain healthy outside of the 991.2 influence.

vtgt

Very true. All goes back to the economy

Intrinsic value? These are epic cars. The economy will fluctuate. If you have perspective you know what I mean. The 997.1 gt3 is just as special as any 997 rs. They drive like no other. Everything is fast now, fast is not the point. The point is in the lexicon of automobiles these cars are special.

Market value? Who knows and most folks on this board don't care. Once you own one you feel the same. That said, my personal belief is that the 4.0 is eventually a million dollar car and the .2 rs at least 500k on a relative comparison. The last time I had so much conviction was in 2003 when I told a client my best trade idea was to buy a F40 for $350k...and he didn't. Buy and enjoy for what you want.

I agree with you. The best NA RS cars will be 1M eventually. The 4.0 obviously will create upward pressure on a lot of various Porsche cars.

If you assume the following:

959 most expensive (as a constant)
993GT2 most rare and therefore at top or near

What are the next Porsches in 3rd-6th place?

^ good pick CJ

concur.
but... many saying they are waiting for econ to tank price to drop. reality is when that happens. 1/2 of the RL pop will be selling, not buying. those who are not as impacted by econ dips, prolly dont give a crap and will just buy the toys today despite $$$, and when econ dips. they will just by the 2nd and 3rd copies of the same car. that's why i know some nuts wiht 3, 4, or even 5 4.0RS and GT2RS... crazy... no, i dont have that kind of money.

150-200.
dont keep wish for the impossible.

C.J. Ichiban

You guys that are 'hoping' for a price drop of 10-20k would be better served finding a way to make that 10-20k up in income vs hoping the ENTIRE economy/ market etc collapses.

Just sayin

well said

don't confuse collectors with dealers/speculators. most collectors are happy with one or two or at the most three pieces of a special car. when you sitting on 4 or 5 of same models of rare cars, you are a most likely a dealer/broker waiting to unload.

vtgt

I know what your saying. I'm just saying when the economy dips and fluctuates a lot, it takes some buyers and sellers out of the market. True maybe not the the true collectors but it takes some of the bubble.

Raw means more to me then fast hence why I'm buying my third v10 car in a row Same reason I am keeping my 957 cayenne GTS and not upgrading to a newer truck

I love cars an soul, but f the economy drops through another recession I wouldn't be shocked if prices come down 10 percent or more. Either way I will buy and drive and never sell

mooty

man knows his stuff

understand but this nut is a good friend all
those cars he owned since new and still got
them. some insane offer were made for them he politely declined. he is eccentric to say the least. I don't have that kind of play money. but In the cycling world a good road bike is $25000. I
have five that are IDENTICAL other than color. some day I ride orange some day bright yellow
some day pink . I don't like to try new things.
