Low mileage GT3 at OPC Cambridge

[TryHarder]

What do we think

GT3

It's stock number 19

Hmmm.

[carsarecool]

Yum.

These are going to be 60k next year, which is unbelievable for what you get.

Would love that car but not worth the difference to 'trade up' from my Gen1 car.

Looks great in red though doesn't it!

[birdcage]

That looks like excellent value. It's got a great spec too.

Has it got sat nav?

[mollytherocker]

Just about perfect.

[slodge]

I may be wrong, but at £60k next year I think there will be a lot of takers - stunning cars with epic soundtrack!

Cheers

Similar age, price point and mileage as my Gen 1 when I bought it in Oct'10, so 60k next year about spot on I think?

Be interesting to see if the semi-hard bottom of 30-35k holds up for the older cars following the release of the new vario-matic version?

If so, they are a better buy at 5 years old from a money losing perspective and should attract a bigger audience?

[mollytherocker]

With the exception of the 4.0 RS and green 7.1 RS, all GT3 seem to be headed for the same value!

It will be interesting to see how values pan out over the next couple of years.

This car sold last week only to come back for sale a couple of days latter. Good value.

Will be very interesting to see what happens to GT3 prices when the 991 GT3 hits the streets.

You can make a case for the older (possibly more desirable cars) heading northwards but equally we might see some supply as some with existing cars trade in for the newer car.

Listed as Guards red but looks more like Zanzibar (could just be my rubbish monitor not displaying it correctly)


one is a stunning colour, the other an acquired taste

I have never seen a 997in Zanzibar. Are there any?

[mollytherocker]

Well, well. Zanzibar.

[qureshia]

different colour red or different camera work (light etc)
Cambridge versus Bolton

Did it actually 'sell' though? I interpreted its brief disappearance to mean that someone put a holding deposit in it to view it and decided not to buy?

[Steviebeee]

I know it's minor, but no Xenons???

I wouldn't have any car now without.

Remember viewing a red 7.1 at Glasgow OPC that didn't have them. Couldn't believe it. Also, the amount of paint the car had too! Another story that though!

Agreed. The question is whether the 991 is going to be bought by new customers or existing GT3 owners. It's impossible to say till it happens.

This looks really stunning.

[Sandy59]

Is that not one of the earlier cars, I thought the lift system was only available later on ??

Cambridge OPC red GT3 has Xenons, which were standard on 7.2 GT3 and RS. Lighweight (non Xenons) were an option

Definitely has lift .. must be one of the first cars with it.

Right. It obviously did not sell.
