911 R crazy market

Look harder

 

No joke I was at McKenna Porsche and they have one on the showroom floor, asking window +$600k. I think David lee may have bought it

I took this from another Forum:

t is stated that the car is/was registered in the EU (Sweden) to a private individual so we can assume that Swedish VAT was paid up front.

If the new owner intends to register the car in Sweden, there would be no further VAT to pay (in Sweden).

However, transfer and re-registration to any other another country would be subject to that country's importation legislation...

If a UK resident bought the car, the UK's NOVA scheme would apply and it seems pretty rigid since it was beefed up in 2013.

The car would surely qualify as a New Means of Transport ("NMT") given that it is less than 6 months old AND less than 6,000kms.

I used to be under the impression that the AND here was an OR and therefore, cars over 6 months old but with less than 6,000kms were not considered as 'new' but this does not appear to be the case anymore so no chance to delay the import by a few months to circumvent that issue.

One might 'hope' that even if the HMRC considered it to be NMT, they might be satisfied with charging UK VAT on the €160k original ex-VAT MSRP so a UK resident owner might get his dog to eat the Bonhams contract and ask to be taxed on that basis (and not his €483k purchase price) but not sure that it would be realistic.

Putting the car into storage in Sweden until it is at least 6 months old (and getting fido to eat the Bonhams contract again) might help but not if the destination country has this 6 months AND min. 6,000kms limit. Perhaps the the recorded milage will need to be 'adjusted' to >6,000kms for import purposes and then back down to 52 thereafter?

My suggestion to the new owner would be to rent a flat in Stockholm and then register the car at that address! After 6 months (or 12), it might be possible to return to their home country and take the car with them as a personal possession with no VAT liability...

 

Double, sorry

Are most of these in white with a few silver? I saw this one in green for the higher up at Porsche...

Andreas Preuninger's personal R. Preuninger is the head of Porsche Motorsport and responsible for it's GT car's.

White and silver are standard colors and initially Racing Yellow, Lava Orange and black were considered paint to sample options. Now as more variants have reached their owners, there are more unique shades and striping.

 

Thanks for clarifying. I love the design.

Congrats on your new 911R...great choice of colors!



The blue 718 Cayman in the background of your photo looks awesome. Porsche really got the front end design of this car(and the Boxster 718) right IMO, although I think certain aspects of the rear design are a bit weak.

 

Just saw one in the flesh on Saturday at the Euro Fest in S.C.
What was the production number on these.

Production total is 991. Those red stripe were an extra. Did you take any pictures of the Pepita tartan inserts on those seats? There was also a individually numbered 911 R series badge on the passenger-side dash.
Base price was $185,950 and mostly sold just to 918 Spyder owners so the 911 R you saw is quite special...

 

No I did not get the inside. Thanks for the info. I thought they were sold to 918 owners.

What do you think the GT4 will be worth in 3 years. Seems they are still about $110,000 to $119,000.

Will the GT3 RS drop below $200,000

 

Well, mine has arrived, and it is a fantastic car.

The noise, engine response and feeling of build integrity are all at another level. It's everything you would historically have wanted on the road (other than a proper handbrake...), wrapped up in a modern car. Personally, I don't think you can beat a stick shift for full immersion in driving.

Crazy prices or not, (which I'm sure won't last), I can't imagine ever selling it, given it's pretty much the end of an era.

Side stripes are in the mail..should arrive Thursday!

Beautiful car, thank you for sharing your impressions. Anything specific on your comment about build quality? As differentiating from regular 991s or even 997s? Thank you.

 

Congratulations on the new arrival.

 

Birthday present to yourself? Interesting lic plate number, thank you for sharing here.

 

Some guy said (on "Over 40 and still hot" thread) that he hated me because of my wife.
I hate you because of your car, jealousy rears it's ugly head..........

Except it's not the end of an era. The new GT3 will have a manual and an improved engine.

 

Gorgeous. Love this blue stripes. Enjoy in the best of health.

If Porsche Ag has taught us anything in the last year or so, it is this.

Are these bringing 250-300K over now?

 

That's not even close to wholesale.
