Darn -- now I'm considering a new GT3
Well, I had high hopes that I'd settle on a well cared for 2007 GT3 at a great price. I've found a couple -- prices range from $86K to $90K.
Then my darn incremental rationalization brain kicks and I've been browsing 2010's just to see what sort of discount off MSRP I could find. Today I found one with all of the options I like, with a $123K MSRP, being "let go" for $116,970. I'm pretty sure I could get them down to $115,970 if I agree to sign papers today. So $8K off MSRP in my book is a good deal. So now I'm caught between, say, a $90K 2007 GT3, or a $116K 2010. It's less about the absolute money and more about the price/benefit ratio. Hmmmm. |
funny, same process here http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif
started looking for a lightly used .1, but now started looking for a '10 - your's sounds like a great deal |

Regardless, even at MSRP, I'd go new; much better car, imo. |

$123 minus $115,970 is $7k, right?
Regardless, even at MSRP, I'd go new; much better car, imo. I'm still stuck. It's a good stuck though. |
Well, I'm seriously considering the black one (brand new) with the following for $115,970:
Retail 911 GT3 997 810 Price BASE 911 GT3 112,200.00 A1 Black 0.00 A1 Black 0.00 78 Black Full Leather 3,285.00 342 Heated Front Seats 510.00 490 Sound Package Plus 700.00 870 Universal Audio Interface 440.00 619 Bluetooth Phone Interface 695.00 810 Floor Mats in Interior Color 90.00 P23 PCM 3.0 w/ Extended Navigation 3,110.00 640 Sport Chrono Package Plus 690.00 ------------------------- Total with Options $ 121,720.00 ------------------------- DSTCHG Destination Charge 950.00 GASGUZ Gas Guzzler 1,300.00 ------------------------- Total Charges $ 2,250.00 ------------------------- Total Order $ 123,970.00 Thoughts? |
1 little number to consider...
3.8 new one for sure, especially if you are getting money off etc.. no brainer |
Where are you getting $7K off MSRP?
I have been struggling through the same process for a couple of weeks. New car $115-120K Used CPO car with 5,000 to 7,000 miles.....$82-87K I have driven both cars and can tell some difference Not sure what the delta that I will move up to the 2010 is.... In Florida dealers are not moving on the 2010 |

I would take the NEW one, especially at that great price...but I personally think you can get great prices on a lot of the 2010 GT3s, not just that one... THAT car is MISSING the Carbon Seats.
If you want the 07 08 well cared low mile GT3, I know of two, both down in Florida one is Red the other is White(with mods), +/- 1000 miles, both FULLY LOADED around 140k MSRP, PCCBs...everything. Not sure about the price, but i would say around 95k, depending on your negotiation skills LOL |
^^ very good point
OK, so I've decided it's a 2010, for sure. Phew...now that that's out of the way, I can either: * Choose the one a couple of post above * Choose a used one for $109K The benefit of used is that I have a tax credit I can apply from a trade-in. My broker/dealer can't apply a tax credit to me as Porsche won't sell a brand new car to a dealer, only to an end-user. Dealers can trade them of course, but again, the tax credit won't apply. So I'm looking at $109K + $1,500 in transaction fees + $1,000 in shipping ($111,500) for the used one with 1,500 miles with a $118,500 sticker or New, $123,970 sticker, selling for $115,970 + $8,117 tax + $1,000 shipping ($125K) |

$123k msrp being offered to you at $116,970 sounds like a really good deal on a new gt3. but if you still thinking about knocking down $1k more to $115,970 then this is probably not the right car for you and you should probably be looking at a whole different price range (much lower).
