For anyone that cares to know, mine sold last week and went on the transporter yesterday. MSRP was 107 and it took about a month. I Started at 110, dropped to 107 and then finally sold for 103. No hassles and really good people thankfully.
It's funny how many former 1M owners are here! I traded mine in for my GT4 last month, and it wholesaled for $42,500 with 46k and needing brakes, tires, and probably another $2k in cosmetic reconditioning. I did factory delivery and paid just over $50k for it, and drove it like I stole it daily for 6+ years, so I was thrilled with walking away with $42,500.
I can't see putting more than 3k a year on my GT4, simply because it doesn't have the utility I need from a DD, and not because I wouldn't like to. I sell Ferrari's for a living and after the honeymoon buzz over a model the market seems to settle at a price point that is less affected by MSRP, and more by mileage. I think GT4's are hitting that point, and it seems like the market is finding it's comfort level at around $100k, the exceptions being huge MSRP's and virtually no miles, or high miles regardless of MSRP. Paint-to-Sample colors seem to be a bit of a wildcard with Porsches and throw inexplicable figures into the mix.
I agree that BAT seems to be best suited for more unique and classic vehicles. I'm trying to sell a really nice '88 Alfa Spider right now, and threw it on Ebay a couple of days ago. It's getting good action so far, but I expect it to stall at around half of what I'd let it go for. BAT is my next stop with the Alfa if I can't find a buyer from Ebay or CL.

As a previous 1m owner, I know these cars have had no depreciation for a long time but with the M2 out now, no longer the one to have? Also, I would think collectors would want lower miles?? Regarding my GT4, BAT worked with me on reserve and are fans of the GT4. They thought it would be a great fit for the BAT audience. Lastly, compared to listings on Rennlist and Autotrader, there are none currently listed for sale under $100k which makes my GT4 a great value and entry point into a Porsche GT car.
Drove my GT4 in the rain the other day...seriously, car is a blast...feels a lot smaller than a 911, nimble, great shifter...brakes are on point. You can't find a car this good for this price elsewhere...period.
Although I'd argue a modded 997TT would be better and cheaper...but that's a story for another forum lol

Cheaper for sure (depending on how "modded" it was.)
"Better" is a subjective term. Having owned modded 996TT and 997TT, they had their charms. But coming back to the NA side of Porsche was a very intentional move for me. Did I miss the 200+ torks I gave up going from TT to 991GTS? Occasionally. And if I'd never had it before I'd want to experience it.
But (obviously) I wouldn't trade this GT4 right now for a 996TT, 997TT plus the cash delta between them. Obvious, since I would have just bought another one of those instead. I also wouldn't swap even up for a 991TT or TTS (assuming I couldn't sell the Turbo and reap the cash benefit).
But there are a lot of Turbo fans out there, so it's definitely the choice for a lot of people.
I did say I love the GT4...different rides...both stellar...and considering I paid a lot more for my 997tt when new all in all you cannot find a better new car for this price.
i have a 2016 991 RS, silver. about 4000 miles. pristine. never taken on track. as crazy as it might sound to some, i'm looking to trade for a GT4 which I'm going to turn into pretty much a track dedicated machine for a year. want to get back into racing, been out a bit and while i dig the RS, its a bit pristine and almost too much to get back to speed with racing. have a cup car on order and would like something a bit more cayman-like than cup like to get the groove back and have something for training, track days without chewing up the cup.
anyway, long story made short: if anyone with a GT4 is interest in maybe training for a pristine RS, PM and we can chat offline. sorry for the interruption.
i've decided to put my gt4 up for sale, never tracked no stories, non smoker, no accidents, garage kept, never seen rain. white with lwb's msrp 105,920 vin: WP0AC2A81GK191129, has fabspeed gt420 and bbi harness bar all installed and tuned by fabspeed, i've priced it at 111,000 which was my otd price and throwing in all the mods. here's the link:
Hi All. I got hit with some scary health news a few weeks ago and unfortunately didn't have time to update the master spreadsheet. I've updated it now. Enjoy!
