Price and options affect the sale speed of these cars more than anything else.

We have sold another 2 GT4's we had this month (voodoo PTS and guards red going to new homes) and on both deals it was options that pushed sale forward. Both have CF seats and full leather which was what each buyer wanted. We only have one GT4 left and one Boxster Spyder.

I think just like other GT cars, dealers and sellers get really greedy and try to make too much $ per deal instead of finding a deal point. I made skinny deals on both cars relatively speaking but got two really dedicated customers and one really marketable trade in.

I was seriously considering this car in Ft. Worth (Go Frogs, have a kid there) and another in MD that was also in the silver family (GT). Ended up pulling the trigger on a grey unit that was better equipped but had more miles. In the end I just like the combo better and price-point was similar. Autobahn still shows this car at $112k on the Porsche website, yet the dealers website is more in line with market.

How much do you think having CPO affects the price. I'd say with the know transmission issue it should be valuable.

I wouldn't buy from private party unless car is in pristine condition and with extremely low miles and with all records and DME report available.
CPO is good thing to have for extra 2 years. I would say 2-4k

CPO was a huge factor in my decision criteria. I wouldn't even consider buying a non-CPO Porsche. The figure I've heard quoted is between $3k-$5k depending on the model and year.

Those of you with GT4s who are think ing of selling, my advice would be to sell now because when the details of the next GT4 and GT4 RS are released, the price of the current GT4 will drop thru the floor. The next GT4 and GT4RS will have the 4.0l motorsport motor with 420hp and 480hp respectively making the original GT4 an unwanted child as a result of just having a regular Porsche motor.

GT4 is definitely coming. Highly doubtful a version with 480bhp is on the horizon. Not enough breathing room for the GT3 family. But I have no inside information. Just don't see it happening even though I'd love it.

Or keep them and use them to trade in for the new GT4 which is what I'm planning on doing.

Makes sense, 420hp isn't enough for racing. Bigger question is whether gt4rs will be a VIP unobtanium car or not. No point selling ahead of a car we can't really buy....

If true, I'm happy that I already sold.

And IF there is a new GT4 (with an NA motor), that car will wind up in the unobtanium category for at least 75% of the people in this forum.
It will also be priced markedly higher and no doubt with an ADM.
So, its not even worth talking about in my humble opinion.

Own for a couple of years and sell now for about what I paid. Sounds pretty good to me.

But, the difference is that the unwanted child perspective is from someone who has/will drop 150-200k on a GT3 or similar. There are a lot of buyers at around 100k whom would love to have a GT (more so than a ‘regular’ 911) car and to get into a GT car (a pretty great one at that) without spending much more than a BMW M3/4 and less that 911 will result in a solid market for the GT4. Of course, entry price and availability of the next GT4 can/will impact this.
