No.
I have a 987 Spyder and a 993tt and while I am enjoying this obscene rise in values of both cars they were made to be driven and now the 993 comes out rarely for fear of one of the moronic drivers in OC crashing into me... Porsches used to be for drivers with a couple of extra bucks, now they have transcended to some sphere of investment and influencer. I hate it.... ADM...F that. Always. These dealers need to be reigned in. Lastly, if you have to finance, nope. You mentioned 60k ADM and a 70k down payment, were you planing on going over to the owner and handing him 60k in small bills and having him whisper in your ear? |

As others have said, the ADM is the huge turn-off (which is why I came to the BMW family). But if your financial situation allows you to purchase this, then enjoy driving it!

$60k ADM…100% pass.
There is this mystique of GT3 and Porsche GT cars. They are amazing. I have not owned but have owned multiple 911’s, active PCA member, drive 997 and 991 GT3’s, friends with owners of them, etc. You are asking the wrong questions to be a GT3 owner. They are quite compromised cars. Quite hardcore. Have to rev the nuts off the engine to make power, they ride stiff. They are loud. You only get one if you really know what you are getting into I know that they have this holy grail status among car connoisseurs. It is deserved. But it is a sharp scalpel. How often do you need a scalpel in your life? Add on the ADM…the market is softening. That $60k is gone forever. The fact that you are asking if it’s worth it tells me $60k is significant in your life. Hey it certainly is in mine but I know people for whom $60k is like $6k to me. Or less. They won’t ever miss it. If that’s not you….pass. Last edited by Needsdecaf; 04-20-2024 at 05:23 PM.. |

Just checked BAT - 992 GT3 prices are indeed falling. $220-$240k for most and PTS and/or nicely optioned as high as $280k.

i've had a 911 before and planning to jump back so i'm keeping an eye out on them. I've noticed a definite softening in the market; especially GT cars. A dealer not too far from me has a 2022 GT3 touring for sale at $240k
https://www.porschejacksonville.com/...31e7baadea.htm these cars are not selling like they were a few years ago. But my first thought when you said you got the allocation was hell ya.. but not with that $60k markup. if you're doing this as a potential investment you will very disappointed. if you can get it at msrp, yes. with a markup hard pass

Unless 60K is a rounding error for you, hard pass. A 300K GT3 is a no go. Even if you are a “millionaire”, you don’t become a “millionaire” by being foolish with your hard earned dollars. The InstaTokChat fueled YOLO FOMO is ridiculous and should be dismissed. I’ve owned many (and still own) Porsche GT cars and I have not bought the current gen 992 due to the over inflated prices. Enjoy your G8X and wait until the current 992 gen is down once the new hotness hits.

Day Laborer posted a configurable gt4rs for 35k adm to his insta story the other day. If you're still set on a gt3 maybe his services would save you a few K. Can't imagine a gt3 is more scarce to get an allocation vs a gt4rs, but maybe I'm wrong. I personally feel the market is softening, even for new porsches. 60k adm is too steep imo.

As many here I have a big issues with ADM and loosing up to 20k on your current car. If anything happens, you will be so upside down it’s not even funny, and then have to pay 7-8 interest on that. I’m also worried about the part where poll says “live in it if I have to” - that doesn’t sound good.
I think you created this poll because it doesn’t feel right for you. Trust your gut, you already know the answer. When it’s good time you will feel it for sure. Take care. |

YOLO if you have the money.
HOWEVER, if you are worried about resale or making some money later, don't. It's not a guarantee, and in the meantime you'll be babying it and not getting enough miles for smiles. Keep the M for a daily, weekend the GT3.

The other weird thing I’ve noticed is there seems to be an abundance of GT cars these days. I’m also looking at the cayman gts 4.0 there seems to be more GT4 for sale than the gts. Same for the 992. I see quite a few GT3s for sale but less GTS. Maybe they realize they make more selling GT cars so they’re making more? If I had to guess, I can’t imagine GT cars holding their values like they used to

I’ve already posted my take and agree that this makes no sense for the OP. Seems as though the demand is stronger than ever but the actual buyers, whom, like the OP, may be on the edge of buying, aren’t pulling the trigger due to the price increases and the cost of financing. But pretty sure all 992.1 allocations are out and production is getting close to wrapping up. And new GT3s are getting above MSRP. $60k is silly and the MSRP price increases have made these cars even more expensive for regular folks like me. First world problems…. |

If it's your forever car and you can find a way to afford it then do it. If you don't have a very strong preference for speccing your own 992.1 gt3 you could instead do a future 992.2 gt3 or whatever down the road, or buy a used 992, 991 etc. The way you are talking about the market softening and the ADM makes me think the 992.1 spec'd by you isn't your forever car and you think you would be selling it in 5 years or less.
