what should i put it up for?

[Pip1968]

I suspect this won't materialise in the near future, however I'll remain optimistic as the RS is next on the shopping list!!

RS prices are getting silly. Believe Porsche have a 997 series 2 up for 125k. And people thought someone who bought the viper green one for 100k a while back mad.

CSLSuperFan, you are probably right there. A GT3 RS is also on my want list but as Trawler says prices are running away. Although it is the start of the track season there are very few 996 GT3 (Trawler - PH cheapest at £40,000 !) and even less RS around. I think the consensus and hope is that prices will stabalise of fall when Porsche sort out the failed conrods on the new 991 GT3s.

Go £29,000-£30,000 with the AP set up.

You have the best of both worlds csl & gt3. How much better is the rs over the gt3? The mrs still remembers being driven in a gt3 by a pro in the poring rain passing everything with zero visibility.

I have only been in a 996 GT3 RS for a test drive before getting the GT3. I did not want to get tied down by long term finance. To be honest the RS is more track orientated and probably less comfortable for a long infiltration to track but unfortuanately for it is like having second best.

The day I got the GT3 my wife said that I would not be happy and although I am I am also not if you know what I mean.

I am not sure of the full specification but suspension is different, gear ratios, plastic rear screen and a few other adjustments to help on track.

There is someone on here with a CSL and 997.1 GT3 RS.

put the car up for £29,995. one with 80k miles sold for £28k recently.

whatever you do ensure no one can find out on here what you paid for the car or you will have buyers telling you what the car is worth based on what you bought it for 12-24 months ago!!!

obviously people forget the market has moved 20-25% like the housing market plus its demand outstripping supply. plus its a crime for you to make any money on a car too (even though you had the cash at the time to buy it when others did.....)

Seeing as most CSLs are advertised here, by their previous owners, it can be just a quick trawl through a search, to find out how much the seller bought it for!

I guess it comes down to the fact of do you price the car at a value where the car will sell
Or do you put it up for sale at an inflated price hoping to get lucky that you'll find a buyer with either little knowledge or more money than sense !
I would hope people selling their cars on here it would be the former
It seems the cars that are pitched at the right price are the ones that are selling and the over valued ones are sitting in the garage
But I guess with values rising at 20-25% every 8 months you'll have nothing to worry about :thumbs:

i know. Was being sarky :-)

put the car up for what you feel its worth to you not others. If someone is serious then you will sell it.
