You know,I was one of the first few to be on a 991 GT3 waiting list,back when they were only speculating the car's specs. As soon as they made the official announcement(PDK only),I have instantly taken my deposit back. I've used the money allocated for that car to invest in real estate-much smarter idea. I do not buy automatic sport cars.

I get someone not wanting to pay $125k for a GT4, but I don't buy the argument that it's a few bucks shy of a GT3. Realistically, it's $30k+ more for the GT3. And it would be a used car. And it'll have flappy paddles.
Honestly, if someone really wanted a GT4; I mean really wanted it and intended to drive it long term, I can't see passing it up for $25k unless they just couldn't afford it.

Doesn't work, but if you just do a simple web search, you'll find used GT3's with 1-15k miles advertised for $155-190k. You might find one car with miles/history below that range, but there would be a reason why that car is light.

And the GT3 would not be build the the buyers spec.
People paying $100k over for an RS also seems crazy....

Anyone buying a $100k car should be able to afford a $125k car, but as much as I love the GT4, I could never burn 25k just to satisfy that itch. It just doesn't add up to a good buy for me.
It's a free country, obviously, and the market will decide.

It's on the website. $144k and ~4k miles - it's a CPO, so it can't be too sketchy.

One that I can fit inside and go flatout in.

Most of the cars on there, with low miles, are in the 150-160s and certainly not consistently over $200k, which was the point of contention.
I really don't have a dog in this one - so I'll leave it there. Obviously local markets vary and I'm sure SoCal is through the roof.
Regardless, a $125k GT4 represents a poor value, in my personal opinion. I suspect the market will significantly correct once the new version (or remaining 2016 allocations) come out.
Of course, I'm new to this nutty world, so wrapping my head around not paying BELOW sticker has been enough of an adjustment!

Don't you think that a Porsche is going to make more cars? They're already talking about building GT4's with PDK; wouldn't surprise me if dealers are already taking deposits on them. Point is that Porsche realizes that there is more demand for this car than they realized. I think you'll get more chances to buy 6 speed GT4's or something equivalent in the future. Patience is a virtue.
