yep I’m looking for something over 25k miles…my black one is canyons only now so I can stay below 15k miles. So really I’m looking for anything I can track and drive without thinking about any of this dollar inflation speculation Svaveed is doing…R8 or 997.2

If you read his comments he blatantly says, these are all great deals still given the amount of $ the world is printing.

You have a really nice example that isnt high mileage nor delivery miles and you dont want to drive it because you're worried you might depreciate the car?

There's a lot of enthusiast out there (myself included) who keep getting burned and haven't had their first and a lot of other people coming back for seconds and thirds with no real intention other than speculation.... I get it people can do whatever they want with their wallets, but this doesnt feel very "enthusiast" and is counter to what got a lot of us into these cars in the first place. For most of us this is a car that we'll never sell because "xyz whatever reason its the best", so not wanting to drive a car because of depreciation + bidding on 2nd or 3rd identical cars, is not what these cars are about...

I found that very bizarre. People requested paint meter readings, seller posted them and they were so all over the place that any reasonable person would scratch their head, and yet no one questioned them. It's almost like the act of positing meter readings, rather than what the readings actually showed, was what buyers were interested in.
Regarding the bumper repaint, I looked at the pics from the original acution, including the pic that is posted in this thread above, and I don't see anything other than reflections of some overhead objects.

Thats correct...I bought both a 7.2 and a 12' gated because I knew I could drive them as an enthusiast and not worry about depreciation 'much'. Based on the production number of those cars it seemed obvious and a good 'value'...if your into manuals.

Fast forward to covid and I decided I liked the 997.2 enough to track it...personal preference as to why I wouldn't turn the one I have into a track car, I'd rather find one that's highly molested. The GT3RS has more forgiveness around tracking... I wish it were different for the GT3 but it is what it is.

This community provides a first mover chance to find a good car just like it did on that $130k one this weekend.

Wonderdan

Your absolutely right... you could sell Snaveed basically any car as long as it checks the boxes of the 'good' examples. PPF, DME, paint reading and some pro photography.... screw the check engine light.

Do you really think that if a few fellow Rennlisters limit themselves to one GT3, then it will make it easier for you or anyone else to buy one? Dealers will fill the void and cars will continue to trade at whatever price the market dictates. If someone has the means to buy two GT3s, one to preserve and one to drive/track/spank, etc, then more power to them as far as I'm concerned. I see people (not referring to you) whining all the time about the "shame" of cars that don't get driven and are put away in collections or climate controlled garages. I don't get it. Who is it a shame for? These aren't live animals caged in a zoo, withering away. If an owner puts 100k miles a year on a car, or they store it away and never touch it, it makes absolutely zero difference to values or supply and demand, until the car is actually listed for sale. Owners who keep mint, low-mileage examples of cars are providing a big benefit for future buyers who may find themselves searching for a like-new example of a long out of production car. I know when I bought my GT3, I was thrilled to have the option to buy an essentially brand new car even though it was 10 years old. I'm glad I wasn't limited to picking only from among 50k mile beaters. I'm sure many current and future buyers feel the same.

I hate when they use filter photography... cant see anything.

That looks like an incredibly nice car, fairly priced (sort of) in today's market. I still would have preferred Switchcars' Meteor Gray car with 10k less miles, more options and upgrades, for the same price. But for what is out there now, this could be a winner for many people.

Also, for those of you not on Instagram, Doug is doing a podcast, premiering Wednesday 8pm. Maybe with enough of us GT3 guys online, we can get some GT content on there too. https://www.youtube.com/user/switchcars

This one just went sale pending at a last asking price of $350k! My god the market is insane!

The similar one listed by Isringhausen for $370K also now appears to have been sold.

And the 997.2 Turbo Udrive had listed for $230k also shows sale pending. Seems insane. We have not seen any 997 Turbos listed anywhere even near 200K. Just crazy.

Seems crazy for that Turbo especially since it doesn’t have PCCB or at least Sport Chrono (included DEM and over boost function.)

What's crazy is the amount of funny money the top 1% has right now due to covid V recovery. These cars are in alignment with the wealth increase and further boosted by the chip shortage (no new cars). These cars are worth every single penny they are being bought for right now.

Wonderdan

Yea Snaveed isn't bidding against himself, it's a new person every auction. So there is a select group looking for these cars... the momentum is perpetuating it seems. Same thing is happening with Rolex watches...

Anyone know if this one sold? https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1267764

Gone. Not surprised it went quick as it seemed like a very fair deal.

The original ad was missing the mileage on the website, looks like it has been updated and it has 16,000 miles with a 149,9 ask . https://www.toybarncars.com/used/Por...d5e6fb0211.htm
