From that perspective for me a manual GT3 Touring is a “dead man’s car”. I have basically zero desire to upgrade/ replace it (except possibly with a 911 S/T). At which point you really don’t need to care about resale values. But the nice thing about “dead man’s cars”, if you can find them, is that if you do even decide to trade out one day depreciation won’t be an issue.
Porsche in general has become the “basic b*tch” car for young ppl who got some money. Especially GT cars. They post on ig their chalk macan and miami blue 911 and think they’re an enthusiast/connoisseur.
They really aren’t as special as they used to be IMO.
That being said I still want a gt3 at some point lol. And it will probably be a 991.1 RS. Nice ones under $200k

Don’t like the R8? Lot of bang for the buck and under budget brand new.

Used ones hold value decently well too.

This x100.
And everyone else drinks the KoolAid and lets their normal thought process fly out the window. They assign an arbitrary $[insert-nice-whole-round-number-here] + MSRP value for the cars which has no factual grounds whatsoever, and they think these cars will just continue to go up. It’s comical because the same people who complain about paying over MSRP for anything automatically justify it for a P-car.
It’s a remarkable brand no doubt, but I am so tired of seeing flexes in no-option 4cyl Macans with the only thing on the window sticker being desitnation charge. The days of Porsche being a strictly focused enthusiast brand are dwindling, as are the days of GT cars living at tracks instead of Cars and Coffee. Times change…nothing you can do about that, but it’s sad.
And this is all coming from someone who likes them, and still wants a prime number GTx car.

Crypto and influencer money is keeping these valuations high, in addition to all the funny money in circulation. As long as equities remain at record levels, people follow influencer bs keeping them paid, simps paying OF models, and crypto doubles every few years there’s not going to be much relief in the luxury market…many of those demographics aren’t the most financially savvy and will continue to bid up pricing as long as they can do so. Everyone becoming a “flipper” isn’t helping either
Instagram is super powerful in pushing Porsche
The 911 is the ultimate flex vehicle right now - the defender time is over
A basic Range Rover is $2k/mo
I don’t follow the influencer crowd so not sure what they’re all driving but Porsche doesn’t seem flashy enough, so much more you can get for the same price. It’s still an enthusiasts car imo, if I’m trying to get clicks or whatever their goal is there’s other vehicles for 100-250 that look much more expensive/appealing to morons
Def wrong site to talk about this lol
It will not depreciate much as long mileage is low but where is the fun in that? I am looking at a GTS to get my feet wet into the 911 pool. I have my heart set on GT3 RS but I don’t know if I will even like the porsche? who knows.
1 hotel Miami packed with talent right now - 10’s from round the world

Debatable. RS don’t come in manual. A lot of the GT3 desirability and long term resale will come from the manual on offer. The 992 GT3 suspension is also a big upgrade from the .2 RS
Are you from Tennessee?
Nah from bel air - just look up
Yeah I don’t think it’s the influencer crowd. You can get a Ferrari/mclaren for price of a gt3 and it’s way more flashy than a 911 gt3 which for most general public can’t tell vs a base 911 anyways.

Used R8 V10 plus is the move. Can get 2017s and 2018s in excellent condition for under 150k. You’ll lose more on depreciation than a GT3 but you get a better car for regular cruising IMO
