Take into account no driving for certain people that live in cold/snow states, Maybe that number is more like 300 a month (during the spring, summer and maybe fall seasons). That could be 3 or 4 solid drives a month. When you think about it deeper, that does not sound like a garage queen imo.

Some of you guys make it sound like everyone who bought a GT3 had to stretch to make that happen, and if they aren't racking up what are, in your opinion, sufficient miles, then they must be making some sacrifice for the sake of intentionally keeping miles low. I would think the opposite is true. The low mileage cars are usually owned by people who need to make the fewest sacrifices, and are enjoying their other cars or hobbies.

Clearly, the supply/demand curve is favoring sellers at the moment and as long as that remains the case, prices will stay elevated or continue to rise. Keep in mind that we are dealing with an extremely small and illiquid market. If these 10 buyers find their cars, or move on to a different search, it will only take a handful of GT3s hitting the market to flip supply/demand and start driving prices back down. Will this happen? I don't think anyone knows for sure but I do think a significant reversal is very unlikely simply due to the fact that the supply side is static. There are only "X" number of clean 997 GT3s left. That number will never increase, it will only continue to decline as cars get used up, are damaged, or get locked away in private collections. So, having eliminated the chance of any material increase in supply (assuming the ratio of cars for sale remain proportional to cars in existence), we are left with only a drop in demand as the catalyst for a potential future decrease in prices. I'll let you guys speculate as to whether or not the 997 will become less desirable over time. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on; NOT.
