Thread: Get a GT3 for $50K - what an economy

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Get a GT3 for $50K - what an economy

    I always told myself that if I could get a GT3 for $50K, that would be my price point. Well, the price point is here, but this economy sure does make one nervous! That said, for someone with cash and stability, it is coming on time start thinking about making a Warren Buffett-esque value buy. I have seen three GT3s in the mid to low 50s. Amazing.

    You probably know this already, but take into consideration
    the major parts replacemt costs.

    A friend had a 2004 that needed an engine overhaul and was
    quoted about $30k as the case is from the GT1 I believe.
    I'm sure some GT3 owners will chime in on this with more facts.

    996 GT3 only with 40K-ish miles. 997 is still well priced compared to new.

    Where did you see this advertised? Please PM me the link. At $50K for the right car!!! Good deal. Yes the prices are dropping. I have been looking for the right RSA for a while now, but the owners are holding for now. The GT3 is still dropping though.

    You would think; I am starting a large capital project and quite frankly no one is offering discounts due to the economy. This includes the equipment manufacturers, construction contractors etc....... Last year there was tremendous inflationary pressure, cost increases were passed along. It seems even with the decrease in these pressures and the change in demand the suppliers are trying to maintain their pricing structures. These have been ugly discussions.
