If you get the VIN of the car you can plug it into a decoder and get the msrp.

Real value will I’ll probably be between msrp and +10% is my guess for a new car like that, depending upon desirability of the options.

It's probably worth MSRP assuming the warranty has not yet started. Although there are a bunch of low mile pre-owned ones available for less.
Sadly, it would likely appeal most to a 'collector'. Which is a shame as the GT4 is an amazing driver's car.

A well spec'd 800 mile example just went for $95,500 plus the $5k buyer fee on BAT. It had a $110k MSRP.

If I didn't have one I'd buy it at MSRP in a nano-second. After all, I paid MSRP + 5k for a Carmine car with 4500 miles on it awhile ago. And if I did buy it, it would be driven exactly like I drive the one I have, without respect for the mileage. (Well, once I got it past break-in, anyway. )

Good Reference...

110K sticker sold for $100 with 800 miles... with no over-rev report.

see post 4

CR car isn’t worth much more than other low (<3k mile) cars if the buyer is going to drive it.

I think these cars will sell for less than MSRP regardless of how minimum the mileage is. Days of MSRP or over MSRP resale values for GT4 are long gone. Its >3 yrs old and although allocations were hard to get, many, if not the majority of first buyers dumped them after 'enjoying' them for 6-12 months and 500-2000 miles (exaggerating here, but only a little). There are plenty of choices now.

The only way this car will sell over MSRP is if the new GT4 has a turbo engine.

Most GT4's with modest miles should be around 75-80% of MSRP. My car has a MSRP of $114k with 7k miles, tons of clear film etc.I bet I could get ~$95k out of it. There are too many people listing there cars still for MSRP or only a few grand under, they're going to sit and never sell. These cars should depreciate, they're cars not investments.

If anyone wants the GT4 to appreciate, it's easy. Just wait until I get rid of mine. With my timing that's guaranteed to see prices soar.

I have no plans to ever get rid of mine though....

Trade it in on the new 718 4cyl Turbo GT4 and I think it’ll happen.

I agree with this 100%.

As for current value, I'm thinking 10% below original MSRP is about right with low miles, and once you get around 10k miles and above it goes down from there obviously. As for where the values will be headed?I don't think they will go down a lot for lowish mile cars, because even if the new GT4 isn't a turbo and a better car than the current, I would expect prices to be quite a bit higher, helping current values stay roughly where they are.

Two dealers near me have GT4s listing in the high $90Ks. They have had these cars listed on their web sites for the past three months, but I don't know if they are still available. If they are available, buyers aren't jumping at the chance to buy them at these prices.

$77,900 for a GT4 in MA with 20k miles and no options. That's the cheapest I've seen.

It has an MSRP of $85k, that's a pretty good value for driving the car for 20k miles.

As many have discussed on here, the more options you put on a car, the greater the depreciation. If you built a track stripper for ~$95k with buckets it'll hold its value much better than a car like mine with almost every box ticked and a MSRP of $114k. For me it'll be hard not to build the same build in the 718 GT4 but I'll try to make a modest build so I'm not eating more depreciation than I need to.
