Almost at $70k incredible.... Close to 100k miles driven and still commanding such figures. The guy got his money worth driving the car👍🏻
She does look good in that yellow

These kind of cars will hold the value. I have owned several limited production cars for free. The trick is not to buy new unless is one of those cars that are very limited and you would have to get on a waiting list if you are fortunate enough.

Now 73.5K with fees.

Well I guess this one has some rarity to help it. Not many 2008 GT3's delivered to the USA, and in Speed Yellow? Only a handful in existence perhaps.

Yup I stand by my statement that yellow commands a 10-20k premium on the 997 GT3's. Someone would rather buy this higher mileage yellow one for 80k vs a lower mileage white or silver for 80k-85k.

Ended up putting in a bid, & already outbid. Good for the seller and those who currently own GT3's, but yikes. Crazy strong market/values.
What would a comparable normal mileage car w/o any damage history go for based upon this, gotta figure those facts are knocking off $20k off the value...

66 997.1’s in Guards Red. 50 997.1’s in Speed Yellow out of 900 or so.

8 2008’s in Speed Yellow for North America.

I’d say a yellow 997.1 with 30k miles is going to go for $95k right now. Add/subtract dollars for paint work for other reasons, heavy track use, no maintenance history, pinned lines (obviously a value add) etc.

Here’s an example of a Speed Yellow .1. Yes it does have high range over revs, so that’s why It’s a bit less than market.

Also, to me 2007 vs 2008 means little regarding value. Yes there were way fewer 2008’s made but outside of collector status, the cars are the same.

Only in Porsche land does exterior color command such a difference in price. Cars and Coffee now is like a skittles bag of RS cars.

Lol correct. I’ve made the joke that having a 991.2 GT3 in white is going to be the uncommon color with how many people did PTS.

I think there is a lot of truth to that. Colors are fads and they can hurt you as much as they can help you. What may bring a premium today for being PTS may warrant a discount in the future for being too polarizing. Classic colors, on the other hand, will always be respected. Maybe they won't bring a premium, but they will also never warrant a discount.

What about the cost of NOT looking at a yellow GT3 for years?

These guys chopped $15k off their price so I inquired. Worried about the state of those PCCBs but in my opinion, they're getting into the ballpark of what Id feel comfortable paying, especially for a .2 in Guards Red which checks every box. Have a solid buyer for my car coming today. Lets see if the worlds align and things work out....
