thierry:
RC,
I had a look on the barely not used GT3 i Germany and there was two lack ones which are really tempting.(One is in aachen PZ).
Myonly worry : don't you think the resale alue will be significantly lowe than the 2015 models?
As I will keept max 1 or 1,5 years , I fear o loosig massive money in depreciation, jut because of themor chage letter..
What is your hinkng ?? I really matter your opinion.....
Do you thinkas well thre is room fo negociation vs proposd price (most around 135k).??
Rgds
Thierry
I'm so sorry I missed this post, I have to apologize.
It is very difficult to tell right now if the engine issue will have serious consequences regarding resale value. Well informed "future customers" may actually check the production date and refuse to buy a car which has been "fixed".
On the other hand, if there won't be further issues with the GT3, I think that people will start to forget at some point. Many GT3 will show up this year at driving/track events and this could positively change the perception regarding this car.
Still...I cannot predict the future, everything is possible.
Yes, there should be room for negotiations, there are quite a few used GT3 available in Germany right now and as far as I heard, demand at dealers for new cars is also pretty low, so if you want to buy one, maybe now is the time.
Please do not forget that the GT3 RS could change the whole game again, if the RS version is as good as many believe it will be. This could actually hit GT3 resale value more than the engine issue.
