2016 Porsche 911R

2016 Porsche 911R

Published June 20, 2019 by Andrew

I think it is safe to say that Porsche 911R drop tower amusement ride is over. Prices started at MSRP, speculators rode the ride up and up, and then Porsche released the GT3 Touring and people lost their wallets on the sudden drop back down because they decided to risk it and not put it in the little bin before strapping in. In all seriousness, the days of $660,000 asking prices for these cars are long gone and won’t return until we are probably all dead. I’m not speculating or just flat out guessing on this, a car with 1,000 miles sold for $280,000 a few months and and we are about to find out what another one with 463 miles will fetch. Given the mileage on those cars, it is safe to say those were bought as “investments” and not to drive. Today’s car, a white with green stripe, is in the same boat. Just 920 miles careful miles. The price? About what you would expect, actually.

2016 BMW M4 GTS

2016 BMW M4 GTS

Published March 31, 2019 by Carter

As recently as early this year, signs that special production car residuals were falling became evident. It was bound to happen as the market was for a time fairly crazy. The recipe was simple; pony up for a limited production car, turn around and list it for sale for 50% more money or more, and profit! We saw this in BMW’s limited M4 GTS back in 2016; I looked at a M4 GTS that was listed at $200,000:

2016 BMW M4 GTS

As a quick reminder, the M4 GTS was the stripped-down, hardened up version of the M4. BMW utilized a water injection system to raise horsepower to 493, while heavy (pun intended) use of carbon fiber helped keep the curb weight down to 3,550. All M4 GTSs made use of the 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. They were limited to four colors; Sapphire Black metallic, Mineral Gray Metallic, Alpine White and Frozen Dark Gray Metallic. Only 300 were sent to the U.S., ensuring this was not only a track weapon, but a future collectable as well – and prices skyrocketed as soon as you couldn’t buy a new one.

So how has the M4 GTS market held up?

2016 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6

2016 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6

Published December 19, 2018 by Andrew

A few weeks ago I came across a 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 that was extremely rare for a few reasons. First, Mercedes only produced around 100 examples for the entire world and second, it was in the United States despite never being offered for sale here. The nearly $1,700,000 price tag shocked me a little as well, but I guess that is the price you have to pay the biggest and baddest SUV on the planet. Today, I happen to run across another G63 AMG 6×6 up for sale in Florida. I thought lightning might have stuck twice having two very rare vehicles for sale in the same time, but then I noticed that this was a model year 2016. This is an important piece of information seeing as Mercedes only produced the 6×6 from 2013 until early 2015. The next step was to run the VIN to see what the data card says and compare it to the 2014. This gave me some answers as this 2016 is missing the P66, P67 and P68 options that would indicate that this is a factory 6×6. Still, I go back to the photos and see a perfect, factory-looking 6×6 that can fool anyone. I was awfully confused until one little thing tipped me off to explain everything.

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Published November 25, 2018 by Rob

A problem that might persistently plague some shoppers of track-oriented Porsches is that it actually can be pretty hard to find one that hasn’t had a bunch of options tacked onto it. This isn’t a new problem either. Try to find a low-option RS America and you might face similar challenges. And those only had four options! To a degree I think we can understand why this happens. Most drivers don’t want to sacrifice basic creature comforts in order to have the lightest possible version of a particular car just so they can shave a few tenths off of their weekend drive. Even for cars that do see track time it takes a driver of serious quality to exploit the significant capabilities of these cars. So why pretend? Enjoy some A/C and some music.

However, if you do want to sacrifice those things then this White 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS might be the option for you. Under the options you’ll note that both the radio and A/C have been deleted and the rest of the options list remains fairly limited. I don’t know how many such examples have been spec’d in this way, but this is the first one I have seen. I’ve come across examples with the radio delete, but not both radio and A/C. That should make this one pretty rare and, of course, even lighter.

Carmine Red 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4

Carmine Red 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4

Published August 22, 2018 by Rob

While I haven’t featured them quite as frequently of late I’ve still had an eye on the Cayman GT4. It’s probably my favorite modern Porsche and as we’ve moved ever so slowly past their days of production prices have just as slowly started to come down. I don’t expect those prices to drop precipitously or anything of that sort. A performance-oriented Porsche model like the GT4 simply isn’t going to lose much value unless it’s wrecked. But the days when prices remained above MSRP seem to be behind us. So, still not cheap by any means, but a little bit better.

As with most cars I post I’m most interested in those that come in a nice color, which usually means a bright color. This Carmine Red example fits that bill quite well. Red is one of the few shades that I actually prefer when it is not as bright as possible. This is in distinction to yellow, green, and orange all of which I typically prefer to be of the blinding variety. But with Red I like a hint of subtlety. Just a hint though and that’s why I’ve always liked Carmine Red. Guards Red is a very nice color, but Carmine is a little richer compared to Guards Red’s brightness. It looks great on the GT4 and I very much like this one here.
