Market commentary
Since the end of 2022, though, Carrera GT values have taken a step back, by about 7 percent. The record sale price is still $2.2M, for a car sold in 2022. There was also a safety recall in April last year, and Porsche's delay in suspension parts to fix the issue led the company to issue a stop-use order on its 2000s flagship. Some insurers, especially in the UK, have also removed road-use coverage on their clients due to the order, which may have softened demand. That said, Carrera GT values are still plenty high. The model's #2 ("excellent") condition in the Hagerty Price Guide currently sits at $1.4M, while its #1 ("best-in-the-world") value sits at $1.75M. The latest Carrera GT sale falls into that #1 range and is still the fifth-highest auction we've seen. And, taking a break from driving until any recall issues get sorted shouldn't be a big deal for this one. There are lower-mile Carrera GTs, and there are examples finished in colors more exciting than black over black, but this is a solid car and it sold very well.
