I recall seeing a red one tested on TG, it must have stuck in my subconscious...

A lot of cars seem to be changing hands without being advertised so price unknown but I think if I was in the market I'd be happy to pay the above for a good, clean car like yours.

Wow, that's a big increase since autumn when I sold GT54RSR at 12,000 miles with original panels and paint (besides a very tiny rear bumper repair) for £75k straight from a major service.

Over a history of 4x 996 GT3 and RS cars I have only 'lost' a splitter on the road twice (once running over a dead fox on the M40 with no time to swerve, and once grounding the front in a dip).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was just casually browsing through the classifieds this morning & I noticed there are virtually no 996 GT3's for sale. Checked Autotrader & the same.
I've not looked for ages but I always seem to remember there would be a fair few up for sale. Is this a recent thing, are they really that scarse now?
No I'm not selling mine, but genuinely interested if the market has shifted significantly.
It's been like that for about a year now. There were quite a few advertised in Spring last year, which got snapped up heading into the fun season and then in autumn nothing really appeared for sale as it normally would after the season and it's just bumped along this year with the odd car appearing and selling very quickly.
A few mint Mk1s have set some big targets (or at least advertised for) and a few damaged 1s and 2s have gone for a song.
Ade probably got the biggest bargain of the year with the Parr RS, it sat for ages as nobody had the balls to pull the trigger.
As an owner I can't see anything at all on the horizon I'd swap for and I think that's the biggest problem in supply. That and the fact the cars are of an age now where 99% are bought outright instead of financed and with the money market the way it is, there's no point pulling cash out unless it's a fire sale.

Mikem what 996 Variant do you own? Ive got a 96 RS original panel fantastic history and spend file with 28k miles
Given whats happened to them value wise I wonder how much I can get for it if i was to sell and if i should even be considering selling her?
I bought the Arctic Mk1 from JZM a couple of weeks before you got yours.
Full cargraphic system
MK2 brakes
KW V3s
CS flywheel/clutch
I've been slowly gathering all the original parts and boxed them up in the loft. 67K on it now and as tight as a drum, shocked a couple of E60 M5 friends recently on a euro trip at just how fast it is when properly let off the lead.

Drop Russ a quick email and ask mate, I've done this recently for insurance and he offered to put something more formal I. Writing if needed.
I would've thought it's getting mighty close to 90-100K now though ? A lot of cars seem to be changing hands without being advertised so price unknown but I think if I was in the market I'd be happy to pay the above for a good, clean car like yours. They'll be a fortune one day (Apollo told me !)

Haha not a bad shout m8. I meant Russ not apolo btw.
If I sold it what to buy is the question. 997 gen 1 non RS great car or a 996 C/S maybe.
As far a 5 yr values are concerned I've no idea plus if I keep it ill do 3k miles per year.
Have a couple of other projects on the go so have to think about it soon

Under 15,000 miles. £90-120k.
Original panels. Over 20k miles. £70-£90k
Cat D / Repaired / Highly modified £40-£50k
I know what you mean but I think you'll regret selling, esp in 5-10yrs time. Apollo might offer you a Fiver for it 'tho, as long as it's had its 10K re-fresh.
I managed 600 miles in mine last year and just under 1K so far this year, pathetic really.

Thank you.
Cars awesome to drive focused but in a brilliant way.
I'm not a flappy paddle man so it's either 996 or 997 for me.
Anyhow OP you see the problem people don't want to sell them.,
So milkem you have an RS ?

I've got a 996.2 GT3 and an E60 M5, the latter is a fantastic car and I get more chance to drive it than I do the GT3. I do think that the V10 is the better engine but the GT3 always surprises me at just how fast it is.
A few years ago Lotus considered putting the M5 engine in the new Esprit, that would have been some car.
I'm not planning on selling my GT3 either, bought it three years ago and its a keeper.

The E60 is a fantastic car Fred, I know the F10s moved the game on again but I don't think you can go faster for the money. It normally starts romping away from most cars above 100 and just keeps going and going. At 140 there was nothing in it and by 170, I was maybe 2 car lengths behind.
There's an Exige build somewhere with he S85 in it, that must be absurd.

If you want to sell it let me know. Its exactly what i am looking for.

I am reluctant to but as they say there is always a price but it wont be within the range ATGLAW is suggesting im afraid

The range posted is based recent sales (in the last 3 months or so) and a couple of serious offers I know about.

Wow, that's a big increase since autumn when I sold GT54RSR at 12,000 miles with original panels and paint (besides a very tiny rear bumper repair) for £75k straight from a major service. That sounded good at the time, based on it having been bought for £72k 6.5 years earlier at 4,000 miles the last time it was on the market.
As time goes by, driving these cars on the road
are feeling so different to the modern stuff. Not better
just different and more mechanical. IMHO.
Pocty.

Yep - jumping out of even a 997 GT3 into a 996 GT3 instantly hits you with the increased mechanical / analogue feel. I am not getting into the debate of whether it is 'better' - that is up to subjective interpretation and intended use. However, if you like the mechanical feel then it is certainly greater in a 996.

And also increased detail and connectivity which has been lessened with later generations.

I would consider swapping my mk1 for an RS (+ cash adjustment) but that's about it.
Edited by jackal on Monday 16th June 16:21
I think I would struggle to drop the mk1 so it would to go to bed with a friend!
I'm looking forward to getting my 996.1 GT3 (MR K400) back from JZM soon - service, etc - but also having new KWs fitted as the current ones are over 8 years old and also having Cup Car gear shift cables installed, then off to the Ring for DN10 in a couple of weeks. Can't wait
Awesome machine and will never sell

I'm thinking of selling my 996 RS. My pal will deal with the sale and is going to take pics this week.
It wants for nothing. Last year had refurbed Bilsteins, New Pads and Disks, new cups tyres, new arch liners, total gearbox strip down (for no apparent reason at a cost of 5k) original panel car, full JZM Geo.
Not many of these left..........

I would speak to Russ @ JZM as well. He has connected a number of buyers and sellers recently and will have a leading view of market value - personally I would ask JZM for help with the sale.
911dullard said:
Not a bad plan tks for the shout.
Am already speaking to someone about the sale to a buyer.
Cheers
Hi - I would be very interested, please let me know.

At least you're honest 😊
dickyf said:
GOT ONE!
Lovely. And I see it's already missing its splitter
Exactly how mine spends most of its time,lol
Would you mind sharing where you go it from (I'm assuming it's not the 911Virgin on as there is no cage in it). Given the other 996GT3 thread and lack of recent sales to judge the market off, a ballpark figure you paid for it would also be much appreciated!

I'd be interested in your car. Can you PM me details please. Thanks
It has got a front splitter, it's painted red.
Now has GT3 centre caps, new discs/pads all round and a geo.
What a car! I enjoyed my old 993C2S but that's as far as it went, enjoyment. This is incomparable and totally mental. The level of grip is astonishing,the noise is addictive. I'm nowhere near its performance envelope on the road as it needs respect but even so it is so incredibly rewarding.
I recall seeing a red one tested on TG, it must have stuck in my subconscious...
Id buy another with huge mileage if i could find one and use it every day and keep mine for fun!!
LaSource said:
Echo both above posts....well done, great choice, and welcome to the club
You now need to 'baptise' it on some venerable tarmac!
BBS wheels - grrrrrrrrrr
want.................

Splitter painted red.....
EyeSpy O/E splitter... smaller & more robust & also slightly less vulnerable than the larger MS/Cup splitter.. I've just started to use one instead of the Cup item as I lost my third one of the summer at the ring last month.. they are dearer to buy tho!
nice car

So it is! Just can't see it at all on that first pic.
Ade, ripped my tiny OEM one off in Wales in July. Put a new Cup one on and ripped it off pulling into my drive.. gggrrrnnnnn

Since fitting my second hand Cup splitter, with pan head 1" self drillers and clear silicone mines never come off. Even the biggest speed bumps I've ever come across in Ayamonte and the steepest multi story exit ramps, in Brighton Marina, haven't shifted it. The standard fixings are completely useless
I don't know why you guys are losing so many splitters.
Over a history of 4x 996 GT3 and RS cars I have only 'lost' a splitter on the road twice (once running over a dead fox on the M40 with no time to swerve, and once grounding the front in a dip). Each time the splitter managed to stay with the car until I could stop, collect, and reuse it in the future.
Two of the cars have been seriously lowered.
May be its in my driving discipline..I live in London (suburbia) and am constantly scanning the road ahead, the entrance to places I go, the exits before making the entrance, etc.
...or maybe I drive like a sissy on the road

i havent lost mine...it was always there!!
Can you post pictures of the interior? What seats do you have?
Got a 996.2 GT3 myself in August (never thought that my first Porsche would be a GT3) and am interested in exchanging first hand experience. Plan to take mine to the Nürburgring in September.

Hi Peter,
As you know, a simply stunning car.
The GTS is very capable. And fast! But little excited like the feral nature of a GT3 being pushed to its limits.
Hope you had a good time at Silverstone Classic.

Those wheels (Allegeritas?) look amazing on the GT3.
Does anyone put 18' wheels on 997s? I had the impression that the cup cars run 18s so I thought perhaps some trackday folk might do the same.
Yes they are and yes they do look good.
People generally more likely to go the other way with wheel sizes and put 19's on the 996. Finding modern UUHP/track rubber (Cup2's, Dunlop Race Maxx etc etc) in 18" sizes is becoming increasingly difficult. Most modern stuff is 19"+
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
