The white 4.0 with 4k miles on pcarmarket hammered at $740k.
I haven't really kept up with prices of 4.0s in the last month or two. What do you guys make of that number?

I left a comment that he really needs to take new pictures of the interior. The white bits look so flat it looks like primer, not paint. Bad light reflection.

I was recently offered 640 from a friend for my 2600 mile 4.0. I just don’t ever see these or any of the 997 gt3 or RS’s going back down. Once enough have been sold at higher numbers, they’ll either continue to hover in that zone or just continue to go up.

According to the seller, this local Black 997.2 GT3 with 91k miles sold off-market yesterday for $162,400.

wow. $162k for a 91k mile, well specced example. Once again that gives more credence to my notion that these cars will not suffer any value downside from driving them over the next decade +. I agree with Moacur, who makes a very good point that once a few more years go by, and newer {high production count} GT3's continue to rise, and many of these {low production #} 997 GT3's sell at such high prices,... none of those buyers will ever want to sell in the future at a big loss. These cars will follow the same historical path that my 964 Turbo did (now with 80k miles).

Moacur, I BET your friend REALLY wishes you had let him buy it at $640!!!

I know it's all cosmetic and relatively easily put back to OE spec, but I have a hunch all that self-painted trim is going to hurt his result. I also don't think original interior color options would cover that much of the trim. Mine has Basalt accents to match exterior, but it's only on door pulls, vents, etc.

Between Maintenance, insurance, registration, storage, and opportunity cost. Outside the fact Gt3's are in vogue and values are sky high and very speculative, I think this rhetoric is dangerous

Buy because you love it and can blow 162k and another few k a year taking care of it. Miles are smiles

I don't know, that seems off. There are a few 997.2 with 60k less miles with about the same ask and there's even one with a 3rd less miles for 167k with pccb. What type of spec was it? Even if it had all the goodies that seems someone paid more than they should given options that are out there.

Agreed - as a second data point, Doug at Switchcars was selling the black 997.2 GT3 with 40k miles for around $155k. Granted, it was missing the original PCCB rotors, but I'd put a set of surface transforms on it and call it a day and still be in it for less than the car above.

I guess all that matters is that the buyer is happy with his purchase but I'll have the unpopular opinion that he overpaid.

Honestly unlikely. People will panik when things go sideways. Look at these two, the same owner sold at the worst time ever during the Covid trough.
RS 4.0 for 305k

CGT for 576k

The owner is a big Porsche guy and has money.

Overpaying for a GT3 is pure FOMO. Once buyers realize that every other week there is another 997 GT3 of whatever variant on the auction block the FOMO will dissipate and maybe prices will level out. I don't think they will ever go down because nobody would ever sell one of these for anything less than they paid for it.

Both cars selling from Canada, and that makes for a discount. I would have never put an RS 4.0 on Pcarmarket back then...bound to take a hit. The CGT also Canada, and though he at least put it on BAT it was a 36k mile car. Nice to be able to daily drive it though!

Kevin, your gray car should be worth a little fortune. If that black one is sells for $230k you're underpriced. Something about as close to a brand new car as one can get, which yours appears to be, should bring some good coin. Wish I would have picked it up back then, however, I wouldn't have been a good candidate for that car because I like to drive them and I would hate to click it over to a 5 digit odometer reading.

Where did that info come from?
