Uhm... but they appreciate with age.

The cheapest one in Canada is $270,000 and a 2016 not including one that's a racing shell of some sort...

A new one is $248k starting price.

i dont get these things. way too compromised to be livable on city streets. basically race car. hell it even comes with rollcage so i guess if you drive it to TNT youre not getting the point of these things.

I keep seeing them in richmond parking lots/resturants and wonder wtf would you beat yourself up like that.

The guy I posted previously drove it once to area 27 and then trailered it. Believe he said the GT3 was one thing but the GT2RS was too much to drive for any extended period of time

most of the guys who buys these things are not going to track it, or put any real miles on it because resale would go out the friggin window if they did.

Id totally track a miata (dont fit) or the GR86 before even considering this

Ya, I dunno about that. If its $248,000 for a new one, who's going to pay $270,000 for a used one? Most likely that used one is priced insanely high or MSRP is insanely low. The only one I see that might increase in value are the stick shifts. The PDK Porsche won't gain much as Porsche keeps making newer versions with PDK.

It's cuz you can't get one new just by being rich......

So everyone that wants one that has money but no pull at Porsche, buys used... and there's a limited supply of that too... ergo prices go up.

That's why at least one big Porsche dealer locally, who aren't allowed to tack on "market adjustments" titles some of the GT cars they get and then sells them as "used" cars for $300k+++

Not too sure about this 992.1 GT3 RS, the 996 & 997 GT3RS was harsh as hell not to mention a killer clutch.

BUT, the 991.1 GT3RS was actually really compliant imo and along with the PDK I would say reasonable to daily. Non RS 991.1 are totally doable, especially with out the bucket seats.

Majority of the Porsche owners that I do know in Vancouver, including gt3 and gt3rs owners, do actually track it. Most of them usually go VIMC or Area27.

Different when you are already a P-car owner and you meet more P-car owners at the track haha

The regular owner is just driving up and down No. 3 Rd/Kingsway :alone:

I can't speak for Vancouver but in the GTA, it's a mixed bag.

You have the group that will take their cars to the track, from ratty 944s that eat GT3s for breakfast, to purpose built cup cars from the factory. You will likely never see them at cars and coffee meets or organized club driving tours.

You'll then have the other end of the spectrum owners who prance around the streets to flex some muscle and go to cars and coffee meets or driving tours. Very few are in the middle ground.

Is it easy to get an allocation for the 718 4.0?

^ Year+ out and I think (don't quote me) they may be sold out to the end of the production run. I was told this at 2 places I inquired but cannot say for sure they weren't just feeding me a fuck off line since I was just calling on the phone.

Did you try a Chinese accent bro ? :lawl: it might work better than sounding so Canadian

Just call them like mr Kim from south park. Herrow shitty wok.

I'd probably do it so over the top they'd think I was asking about a Polestar

Short answer is most people who want a GT3 RS won't be able to get one. Pay to play in this market unfortunately and it's even harder in Vancouver when there's always another guy that's willing to spend more money to get one.

One of the best models for the money but we still have over 30 people waiting for one and receive maybe 7-8 allocations a year unfortunately. Not looking good unless you put an order in at least a year ago.

If you can't pick up a gt3RS, you can always move over to Mc Laren, Lambo or Ferrari. Plenty of super cars out there.

yeah, sure... like they are easier to get? ...

From my limited chat to owners

Ferrari no, even when you show up to buy a used 488, unless you have prior history with the FMOV, if you are just fresh, they want to get you in a california... or smth

McLaren, I don't actually know any owners, so no comment, maybe TOFU can chime in?

Porsche... well lets just say current 6MT manual 992.1 GT3 (the reg one, not the RS) are selling for $400K here locally. I get it.. supply and demand... but still I would think a lot of options opens up when you have 400k... I know pfaff sold one in July

For me personally, I would love a 982 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 6MT, basically the drop top GT4, not as flashy, but probably more fun. I would love to splurge on the aftermarket final drive to make the gearing shorter if it didnt kill the re-sale value....

Ahhh one can dream right?

i have a history with FMOV and they still told me to go fuck off when i tried to buy a roma. 2-3 years they said:okay:

you'd think these guys were selling their first born like Rumpelstiltskin or something

You tried to buy a Roma and settled for an LC?

FeelsBadMan

mainlander goals okay

I was talking to a salesperson at PCV back in mid July, and he was telling me that the wait for 718 and 911 were in the 12 - 24+ month wait. And with the 718, in particular, there is no guarantee that someone in the allocation request queue would be able to secure an ICE car either since production run is expected to end (in 2024?).

If you want one, you'd either have to pay through the nose for whatever pre-owned inventory they have at the dealerships, or you pay them the (refundable) deposit and just patiently wait in line for one -- if it ever comes.

I will wait before I play that suckers markup game

^ said everyone sitting on the sideline for real estate the last 20 years lol

you're talking about 2 different things here.

anybody can wait a few years. You could be owning/driving a late-ish model GT car in the next few hours if you've got the cash.

the cash won't do you much good if you want an allocation for a brand new one.

Personally I'd WAY rather have a clean 3 pedal 997 GT3 than a new one anyways.
