Still have the M3 but Just bought this 997.2 GT3

It’s on a truck on its way to my house as we speak! Can’t wait!

Essentially, I wanted a manual ‘raw’ car with very little tech. A true weekend car.

The M3 is a great all rounder/daily driver, very fast, very comfortable, very capable but I will probably sell the M3 in favor of something like an RS6 wagon or AMG SUV, X5M etc

Excellent choice. I had the same color, which I think is the fastest.

Gorgeous! For me, a Speed Yellow 997 GT3 would be my all time dream car (within a reason), but the prices are well out of my budget.

I just picked up an M4 GTS and I think this is probably the end of the journey for me when it comes to buying more cars. Everything else is 50% more expensive than it, and quite frankly, I end up in the comfy daily driver 95% of the time.

I read car news on a regular basis and there's just nothing interesting for me anymore.

Yes, the prices have gotten a little absurd. I’m hoping they hold their values. The numbers produced of the 997 are quite low so seems to be holding up very well, even in a falling market.

The unique colors like speed yellow drive a crazy premium as you know, too much for me!

I'm jumping into an M car after a long hiatus, so I'm a bit backasswards from most of this thread.

I always thought it would be cool to own a few classic cars, but no one ever tells you about how much work is involved in making sure they stay in good working order. We have seven vehicles, and I'd like to sell a few before considering another vehicle.

If I had to decide, it would be a really tough choice, but a P-car is way up there on the list for sure.

I have no doubt they will. As far as I'm concerned, it's the last truly analogue GT3, not to mention the amazing Mezger engine.

Just looked at the current prices, amazing to think the 997.1 GT3 used to be able to be had for $75k not all that long ago. Boat missed

1993 110 Defender looking to put a S58 in it. I know it's not really a car, but, it would have the 'car' engine. Does that work?

My 1958 Land Cruiser should be here in July. Will be a great addition to the fleet. Love the throwback styling.

Congrats on the new car ! I wouldn't get a RS6 wagon... value dropped a lot and with the incoming M5T, it will drop even more.

Agreed, but was looking second hand. The new ones are $150k but you can get a second hand one for $90k with 20k miles.

If you look at how well the Mercedes Wagons hold their value, I think buying the RS6 at a deep discount means the depreciation won’t be insane.

Normal levels of depreciation is to be expected but who knows!

TBH maybe the Mercedes Wagon is a better buy!

Jeep Rubicon 4xe (addition - not a replacement). Have always loved the Wranger and, now with the full-roof sunroof option, it is a no-brainer. Fun compliment to the M4 and iX in our garage.

Depending on finances; 993 (atleast C4s), 996 Turbo (X50). I don’t plan on ever selling the G80 I have on order as I am getting a stick shift. Hope to teach my kids how to drive with that car. I might get a hybrid BMW as a daily.
