996 GT3: £100k? - Page 3 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

In yesterdays news spot "911 GT3: Spotted (again)" by Mike Duff he writes: "...The best example of this is the 996 GT3. You know, the one that has just had its Nordschleife lap time pretty much matched by a 2.2 ton SUV. Just 106 of the 'mk1' 996 GT3 were registered in the UK, and 247 of the 2003-2005 'mk2', and in consequence they're rarer than hen's fillings. At the moment there are precisely none on sale in the PistonHeads classifieds, and when they do come up they normally create a stampede of buyers wanting to snap them up for considerably north of £100,000..." Oh really?

Somehow thinks he means thr RS but ill be happy to let mine go for £99k I wonder what times they could do now on modern rubber

With the sheer number of 996's going there year in year out many will have posted faster times. Still, the Cayenne Turbo was always quick

Happy days if you have one!!

Nice thought though. £50k to £60k still the ball park surely.

few years time they could be nearer that mark I managed to get a mk2 so very happy I remember looking 2 years ago and a dark blue mk2 6.3 went for £35k with 40k miles and it was a club sport. £60k plus now. 6.3 RS are well north of £100k now. you are looking at £125k for a half decent 30k miler. low mileage ones are closer to £150k!! if you can find one. last of the analog non nanny state cars, low numbers so will be collectable and wanted.

Not so. JZM just sold one at less than 115 with 25k miles and it took a while to sell. Advertised vs archived prices are two different things

I'd put that down to the time of year more than anything, this year will see some big rises I think along with limits availability again. Euro is screwed, interest rates touted as not rising for at least 2 yrs.

That's fair point but banking industry along with Hedge Funds had a tough ride so small sector won't be buying investment cars. Doesn't suit me personally for their to be a slowdown but I'm just being realistic

I have just had an insurance valuation for my SY mk2 25k car at 58. So personally I will not be surprised to see asking prices in the 60s this spring, given the current paucity of supply. Anyway enough on values and off to get it motd

Ask a specialist how much you could expect on a SOR for your car, not the advertised price but the price youd get

I contacted the specialist dealer who I bought the car from to ask their current market view and they kindly offered to provide a valuation certificate which they have done within 48hrs of my original email. And in the process making it more likely I would return as a customer in the future. Simple really.

My CS (14k miles) is now insured for an agreed value of £65k.

comfort with leather buckets and tequipment cage and harnesses.

Anyone know what the 996 GT3 RS is up for at Malton? Thanks

it appears to have sold Anyone here ?

Hi, Mine is insured for £60K GT3 CS Think these will hit £100K in future. Mike

sportsandclassic said: Hi, Mine is insured for £60K GT3 CS Think these will hit £100K in future. Mike I agree...recognition of the great driving experience, current price point, and lack of supply is likely to make it so. Unfortunately, that is not all welcome as it would also start to dissapear from the usual pitlanes.

Happening already as values climb e.g. almost 200 991 GT3's in the UK - how many have you seen on track? A handful? Contrast this with when 996/997 GT3's were new.

Keep thinking of selling but what do you replace it with? Also got my senior citizen's bus pass. Take the point about no track work but got some great driving roads here in Northumberland!

Worth keeping or how much is it worth? Stewy49 Edited by j stewart on Friday 30th January 17:09 Normally I would say that is inexcusable but as you are a pensioner it is probably best kept on road but should still be used. It is a bit like a Mona Lisa locked in a cupboard and rarely if at all seen. That is the saddest thing about these silly prices. The cars are becoming garage queens and not track tools. Great shame.

I *almost* talked my 80 year old uncle into buying a 360 Modena a few years ago as he was a proper petrol head (used to drive from Tuscany to Berlin every now and then on a Friday (all in one day!) to spend the weekend with friends up there, then come back on the Monday Age is no excuse!

Stewy49 Edited by j stewart on Friday 30th January 17:09 Think I spoke to a dealer in the North East (Peter) about your car 2 yrs ago, he thought he might be able to convince you to sell at the time ?

That's the car and the Peter. And he couldn't convince me. Car isn't stuck in garage though - used regularly. Don't like the idea of depreciation on things like Cayman GTS. Must decide!

Agree to some extent, but this actually started to turn a little with the 997.2s. They had been in circulation for over a year before I started seeing many on track and to be honest the non-RS 997 3.8 remains a fairly unusual sight other than at the 'ring (I am usually the only one or one of a couple when I track mine). There were only a couple or 3 years where 997.1 RSs were a generally expected sight too I reckon. But the 996 vintage (all - gen 1, 2 and RS) were all pretty ubiquitous back in the day, and only the gen 1s are starting to recede so far in my experience. I am expecting that the 3.8RS will start to become somewhat less common on track days this year due to the spiralling value as well, but we shall see with that. The 991 will be interesting - very few were bought by track day regulars in the UK, so if they do start to show up regularly this year then it will largely be down to new blood. I've yet to see more than a couple on a TD at the same time thus far, and in perspective the 996 GT3s attending have exceeded 20 at many events that I have driven at...

Chap near me with a 996 GT3, used as daily driver TX.

Take the point about no track work but got some great driving roads here in Northumberland! "What do you replace it with?" This is exactly why I've turned down two very good offers for mine in the last 12 months. Apart from the fact I love it to bits, I had always planned to upgrade to an RS but the prices of those have put a stop to that for now

Worth keeping or how much is it worth? Stewy49 Edited by j stewart on Friday 30th January 17:09 On the basis that one of the 3 or 4 specialists that does the most trade in these every year reckoned mine was £58, a speed yello 23k mile every invoice standard- but comfort- car, I would say you are in mid £60's given CS model appears to attract a premium.

They are like rocking horse poo, so I think that any decent GT3 has a fair amount of price elasticity - if someone wants it, £5K or £10K will probably not make much difference...

Has Rallyeman's 996 GT3 MkII £64,000 one been sold then? Surely that will be an additional indicator of where we are and where things are going. Pip

Where is it/was it advertised?

Mad March Taffy said: Where is it/was it advertised? I only saw it for sale on 911uk but it wasn't there when I looked a few days ago. Being honest I doubt it will have sold that quickly for that price, if it did then that's quite a jump again and I'll obviously be delighted as a 6GT3 owner *Edit*** Just saw he's keeping it ***Edit*** Edited by ClarkPB on Friday 27th February 13:18

What was it up at?

Mad March Taffy said: What was it up at? 63.5k including the RS wing & Cup PU, plus standard parts. Interested?

Just wondering (thanks) - I was talking to a mate in the trade about them this morning and the subject of price came up - because there are so few around, it is tough to get the market value at present - I was guessing in the £60-65K range, so sounds like I was in the right ball park. Just bought a 996 Turbo S, so the missus would kill me if I bought another one!

I do not see why not, particularly as we seem now to have £115,000 997 GT3 Gen 2s. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...
