Equipment
3,600/415hp six, 6-speed, ceramic brakes with yellow calipers, Sport Chrono Plus package, navigation, air conditioning, roll cage.
Condition
Represented as 9,099 miles from new. One of 803 911 GT3 RSs built in 2008. The outer bolster on the driver's seat shows significant wrinkling. A few small chips on the front of the car, many of them touched up. The roll cage is also chipped up. These cars are more for at home on the track than they are cruising around town, and this car may have hit the track a time or two. That doesn't make it a bad or worn out car, however. It's just a lightly used 997 GT3 RS in appropriately loud colors. Located in California.
Market commentary
The consignor was surely hoping for closer to 200 grand or at least the $175,000 low estimate, but with fees the final price at this reported high bid would have been in the right neighborhood. Other GT3 RSs with similar mileage have sold for around that amount. It's a far cry from the $275,000 it was reported bid to at Mecum Monterey in 2018 or the $200,000 bid it got at the same venue last August. The trend is clear and it's time to accept that there is no shortage of low mileage 911 GT3 RSs out there and let it go before the temptation to roll the odometer into 5-figures proves irresistable.
