What's happening with my GT3 RS?

I've had my Porsche 911 GT3 RS for a few months now. I cost me £222,000 but I wanted to know how much it's worth now. Due to its rarity these cars are trading over list. But by how much? Join me as I try to find out.
FYI I'm NOT selling my car!!! Just curious about values. You will be seeing much more content on the GT3 RS in the New Year so make sure you are subscribed for that!

[@oldsoulboy6483]

Personally I hope that it is worth a whole lot less than Matt paid for it. Then hopefully the dealers will stop the scams that they run on the allocations for GT cars and let people who want to dive them buy them, rather than 80% of them going to flippers.

[@Mark__A]

Exactly.

[@somerandomfella]

They're dropping thank fk.

[@pageup213]

A lot of (if not all) super/hypercar manufacturers are like this. They're highly selective with whom can buy what - us plebs could buy the more common models if we wanted but the rarer and more exclusive models are reserved for those they choose are worthwhile. Ferrari is notoriously pretentious and bad in this area, you have to first have owned enough of their cars to be considered, but even then it's just a who's who of their richest clients that are even invited to buy one of the rare limited run models that will only appreciate in value.

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

Because these cars have very bad MPG's and keeping them pristine 16 combined city/highway 14 city Highway MPG:18 highway They're show cars only, they're not designed for the road really, you wouldn't go further than down the road or a quick run down the motorway. if you live in a city you'll use half a tank sitting in traffic alone. If you're a multi millionaire then you don't really worry about the fuel costs, but general users who buy these type of cars. Normally have them for a year sometimes only a few months, because the cost of running them usually overwhelms them. Also when you're driving around a £220,000 car, a lot of buyers get driver worry, potential other drivers on the road crashing into it, or jealous individuals who will key it out of spite. That's why a lot who own these type of cars, will rarely drive them and keep them stored away.

[@Cloxxki]

I can't speak from experience, but suspect it's a real pain to drive around. Loud, uncomfortable, sketchy in away. No driving aids, etc. After driving around the neighbourhood a few times, you just can't be bothered unless there's an amazing track day in good weather. Would you drive yours up Goodwood Hillclimb in the rain? It's a bit of a decision.

[@davidlloyd-cx3er]

And you look a bit of a plonker on the road 😂

[@iOSAT]

@@APRICEPRODUCTION This is the most bizarre reason I’ve ever heard for not driving a GT3RS - fuel prices, really?? Your average truck is going to get similar gas mileage - my Toyota Tacoma gets 16 MPG - and you think someone is going to not drive a GT3 RS because the fuel prices would overwhelm them and they’d run out of fuel idling in traffic? Be honest, have you ever driven a car?

[@Imnameless69]

Then don't buy the GT3 RS on the start. Uncomfortable ?! Really!? Come on, buy a Mercedes if you want a comfortable car, and if you can't afford it, then don't buy it

[@BrokenNinja]

Honestly the car is in great spec how you have it, the carbon adds contrast, the bits of shiny against the matte is really good, and the gold decal accents add to it too, it's the perfect blend, not too much going on, and not too little

[@veneratedmortal4369]

I would like the gold decals better on the black car, and I agree it should be a gold that matches the wheels. On the silver car, I would have black decals. Love the spec though, and the satin PPF. Car looks great.

[@MrBaklava]

I absolutely love the satin silver and magnesium wheels Matt. You made a great choice 👏

[@Muttlythedog]

If the gold had been the same colour as the wheels then I would’ve said yes. That difference makes it look really non-spec and cheaper.

[@knn3th]

As Mat points out in the video, Porsche never colour matches decals with wheel colours, so that's not an issue.

[@jasonberg7644]

@@knn3th That's more reason to not get the decals. IMO they'd look bad even if they were color matched. No need to put giant letters on the side of a beautiful car.

[@teemo5409]

Also, he could argue that the decals match the brake calipers 😏🤔⁉️

[@jumpmanj8350]

​@@jasonberg7644i cant agree more. This is real life not NFS Underground 2. It looks like something an unimaginative 12 year old put together. This is coming from a guy that bought a WS6 T/A 30th anniversary brand new and even the arctic white with the blue 5 stars was a bit much and i spent 27k on that. So take my take with several grains of salt.

[@philippestrickler3461]

Just my point of view . You have made the good choices. Your spec is perfect . The grey color match with the black of the carbon fiber . In addition you gold wheehls and the Porsche stikers give the good touch of color. The lift of the car is a very nice option when you are in town. Happy Christmas MAT .

[@ronochow]

If the decals were matched to the wheels, Oh boy, that'd be exquisite. Black looks very nice and very mean, but I think the silver is very classy as well. I think you need both at that point.

[@Jiewicz]

Glad that man points it out. I can't get over the unmatching colors of the calipers, wheels and decals. It looks so amateurish.

[@hman0007]

Swap the yellow stickers for Gold, backed in black, same as the wheels and it would look much better. Right now the yellow stickers aren't helping. If your keeping it, wrap the hood in GT silver & matte so it matches the rest of the car.

[@OnTrackDetailing]

I like the Gold decals, and the Satin PPF. I also fully appreciate your influence but , and this is more for some people who don't understand the way Porsche work, also very frustrating to many people who wanted a GT3 RS, but didn't get one! Despite a long history of purchasing Porsches - (which, if you random KZbin comment readers weren't aware, you cannot just buy a GT3/RS - you often need to be one of the dealers top usually 2-3 customers) This means buying a Macan for your wife, a Boxster for your son/daughter, a 911 for you, and changing cars every 18 months to 2 years, for 4-5 years, before you can even get onto the list. I am glad however, that you are using your car, and doing a few little mods and tweaks etc - I quite like the changes you have made, subtle but different - Many of these unfortunately sit in garages or are used as commodity trading things (basically, it's a way to get £100k+ tax free profit for the loyal Porsche customers). Enjoy !!!

[@mikeread8001]

The car looks awesome, apart from the gold decals. Hope you don’t just flip it, your face lit up when the $$$ was mentioned…

[@JohnJoannou-xq5rq]

The decals should be changed back to black. The PPF is a good choice as your paintwork will be saved for ages. I would get a proper sized number plate for the front though.

[@Nonymous215]

Thats what i said too that color is the only thing throwing me off on the whole car
