911R for sale

what's pretty well?

 

If priced near msrp, that would be priced well in my book

 

The 991R price is the big question now that Porsche confirmed the 991.2 GT3 will have a manual. What will be so special other than the limited run of R once the GT3 comes out with a manual box?

 

^this, i was offered 911r about 6 months ago, dealer still has it now $75000 less....i will watch the 'r' market slowly dive

the recent 24 hrs at Daytona featured a totally re engineered chassis with a lot of innovation that departed from the way things have been done... this new car ran away from the competition... 17 more races to prove the new way... is much better and faster... recent marketing features the evolution in the new models as they are released... any new car featuring better and faster is going to affect pricing and demand for any existing models... the excellent results make the existing "hot" cars more available at better pricing... Sebring is coming up next to confirm the new level of performance

 

I feel so fortunate LOL. The Porsche dealer I work with has offered me the dealer principals R for a meat 599K. I told them no thanks. I hate to think with a value these cars will do when the new GT three comes out with a manual transmission.

 

Amazing that a real race car made in small numbers, the GT3R, is 500K but these hyped up street cars are commanding greater prices. Market froth at it's greatest!

 

If it's cheap enough Ill buy it. DM me.

 

Isn't the new race car - a real mid engine?

Maybe the 911 next gen will lose the +2 rear seats and move the engine to match the race car setup.

I was offered a delivery miles example here in the UK recently (RHD) for $998,000

 

You should have told him, "that's a great price! An even $600k would have been WAY too much, but $599k totally has my interest". Wtf is wrong with people pricing mid-six digit tickets like they're a ****ing toothbrush.

 

It's still every bit of a 400k car, even more so with PTS.

 

I'd love a 911 R but the prices for it are absurd. In my opinion the whole second hand high end auto market is out of control. I'd be careful about buying anything second hand that's over MSRP at this point because eventually this stupid market will correct itself and quickly when it does.

I have driven a 911R. And it's as special as it's made out to be. I greatly prefer the feel of the R over a GT3 or GT3RS, and it's not just the manual transmission.

And, the R looks far better than the overdone (IMHO) GT cars. Sure, all of those wings, scoops, vents, and whatnot are functional, and if I was buying a track car, I'd want all of that, but for the street, the R is just perfect.

In other words, believe the hype.

I'm going to withhold my opinion on values, however. The fact that the new GT3 will have a manual is sort of irrelevant, given how special the 911R is. If Porsche makes another car like the 911R in the near future, though...

 

approaching true mid engine...that's what the talking heads were saying during the broadcast the engine had been moved forward along with other innovations... got some promotional material on the new car from the factory, didn't try to digest all the innovation, there will be more follow up with more details... as they sort out what they have and how they will market it... it would be prudent to wait and avoid paying premiums for the 911R until the markets settle down

 

If you are waiting for a 200-300k 911R, that won't happen.

 

Michael and others,

I have heard this and have wondered what is it that is so special. Not trying to be difficult, but am really trying to understand the benifits of this car over a GT3. At least on paper, the R is a GT3 with a manual transmission and no wing.... How might it be better than getting a new manual GT3 and delete the wing? Actually the car really needs a duck-tail.

 

The entire car is tuned to be a street car, as opposed to a track car. The suspension is softer, the ride height is ever so slightly higher, and many of the other little but important things that Porsche knows how to do so well. The GT3/GT3RS is not a car that I would want to drive around town, or even on the highway for long periods of time. I would drive the 911R every day and everywhere.

Sure, they both can be used on the street or track, of course, but it's the little subtle things that add up.

Sort of like the difference between the Cayman GT4 and the Boxster Spyder. The GT4 is a track car. The Spyder is tuned for the street. There is something very sublime about the way the Spyder feels on the road; you just want to keep driving it. And I drive my Spyder as much as I can.

 

Gotcha! Thanks.

I enjoyed my GT3. It was a car I could drive every day, but was very enjoyable on our back country roads or in the mountains. When I traded up to the RS, I was quite dissapointed. As noted, it was not something I enjoyed driving back roads or on rally's. It would be nice if Porsche did an R that mere mortals could get their hands on.

 

It also has a 20 in the back, instead of a 21.

I'd take a Spyder over a GT4 every time. Same with R and RS.

At 185-200, the 911R is one of the best cars ever made.

At 500, it has heavy competition. Like high mile CGTs.

I had a guy try and buy mine, only to back out when I met all his wants. Everyone is scared of R right now.
