991GT3's dropping??

I'd agree there are a number of factors at play in the market, all with a general downward pressure on prices:
* Br Exit uncertainty. (Seems people haven't read Warren Buffett's advice on when to be bold.)
* The numbers of 991.1 GT3's sold.
* The numbers of 991.2 GT3's that have been flipped, many through the dealer network.

With all the prices compressing like this on the 991 range, the pressure will also be reflected in the 997 and 996 market too.

In reality, for someone looking at buying and owning a car for a few years, the difference from £70k to £120k is considerable, but not poles apart. Do you choose older, rarer and more analogue, or newer with (theoretically) longer warranty? (Of course there are threads discussing the relative merits of Mezger versus DFI engines.)

Aside from actual cost of finance, the other factor for cars under £100k is the cost of insuring them on track. From what I've been told by Mannings, the underwriters want twice the premium to insure a £100k car at the Nurburgring, than a £99k car.
 
Just to follow up on the BCA car (LF64EPK). It was MOT'd at Porsche West London on 12th July (10 weeks and 58 miles after its previous MOT in May).

It's just been through and sold provisionally. Tried kicking it off at £98k with no interest so dropped to £95k. Bids then crept up to £102k when the hammer fell as a provisional sale. Assuming a dealer bought it, it'll be interesting to see when and where it appears and for how much...
