The 997 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...
Rennlist Member
You're right ... it's also the guys that paid $50K to $150K less than current asking prices that are the most vocal about how these cars are so cheap now. I don't see the FOMO sprinklers hoovering up these "cheap" GT3s so they can capitalize on that guaranteed ROI. The reality is these cars have overshot their valuations in relation to the overall driving experience and general quality of the examples available at these silly prices. The added bonus is that many don't even get driven much (if driven at all) but they're allegedly such a treat to own!
I'm sure this post will go over like a lead balloon for some but that's OK - I love rustling the GT3 hype generator feathers whenever possible since critical discussion is certainly disliked around here. As for missing out on joy - there are lots of great cars out there to experience, many of which haven't been as inflated, and by the way, it really is just a car. One isn't missing out on life just because they don't own a GT3, although i can see how some in this forum would genuinely think that. Now let's carry on with the spectacle and keep that 997 GT3 hype spigot flowing!

- Manual V10 Gallardo are 200k+
- Manual V8 F430 are 200k+
- Manual V10 Audi R8 150k+
- Manual 997 GT3 120k+
- Manual 997 GT3RS 200k+
Further more I say all this as someone who does 10 track days a year on their RS and would appreciate a value decrease as it would lower my insurance premiums for track days. I'm not someone trying to make a profit off owning a 997 RS. I am someone experiencing their dream car and trying to maximize my enjoyment.

Car was at Canepa a year or so ago and I believe it had a roll bar along with some other mods. BTW the COA is currently listed for sale on eBay.

@RapidGT you never cease to amaze me. Not only do you know of every GT car ever listed for sale, but now you have a COA auction database as well.

I don't speculate on valuations as that is completely irrelevant to me. I don't know if these GT3s are going up, down, or sideway, nor do I care. I also agree with you that not having a GT3 is certainly not missing out on life. Many other cars, hobbies, and more importantly, family and friends, to bring us true joy. However, if it is a GT3 you want and you enjoy the driving experience it provides, then I think we can agree that by not purchasing one you are missing out on that particular joy. That is not to say you should pay any price for admission. We each have our values and our budgets. I came from nothing and struggled much of my life. I'm not here to judge anyone or tell anyone what's right for them. But my comment was specifically regarding people who are both a) actively looking to buy a GT3, thus by their actions acknowledging that it is something they truly want, and b) proclaiming that it's an overhyped and overpriced car. That just strikes me as contradictory and self-serving. It's one thing to come here, like so many do, and make an honest comment like "man, this sucks, I really want a GT3 but the market got away from me" and another to come here and continually comment on how every asking and sale price is above what this "overhyped" GT3 is worth, while simultaneously posting a GT3 wanted ad in another thread.

Right? You would think that these are the members should be granted with free Rennlist memberships. Those who give value to this site. Ya know Rennlist could make a program where contributing members get free annual memberships. Every year ya gotta make the quota to get your annual dues waived.

For anyone interested in buying, may want to reach out to Porsche Beachwood as they were the ones that sold the car originally. While they may not have all service records dating back to new (they delete them after a certain amount of time), I know I was able to get warranty records for my car from them.

I would vastly prefer one with 50k+ miles though. I want to put miles on it without worrying about the value. Not too many of those out there though.
I’m considering that red 2008 that was posted a while back. If it weren’t for the 3 (!!) accidents that would be my perfect car. I feel like that car is priced 10-15 too high but I doubt that dealership will sell it for that little.
