I am afraid the 996 Turbos are too plush, some say like a Lazy Boy.
Anybody understand if the PCCB brakes a problem ? Or is it a good option, I will never track the car.
Oh man, have I got some good news for you! Those prices are imaginary asks based on the brief silly season last year. For a 6GT3 to sell over $70k it needs to be a very special car....think >25k miles, zero or little track time, all preventative maintenance done, near perfect paint, unique color and buckets. Those are few and far between.

Most cars will fall into the good driver catergory: think 50-75k miles, few track mods, black or silver, some rash but very good mechanical condition. Those cars fall somewhere in the range of $50k's. This is actually sales, not the list and pray.

Same thing happened about 3 years ago with the 993TT's, where a few drivers sold in mid $100k's and then they all hit the market. There is a relatively significant bid-ask across the GT3 realm, with the only cars trading either the super-premium 1% or those where the seller capitulated to reality.

Only problem you may run into is that the 6GT3 sellers may not be motivated, so they could just sit on the car. We've seen 991GT3 prices crater on good volume because many of those sellers actually want move the car to free up cash, move to something else or get out before they get clobbered. It's highly unlikely that happens to the 6GT3 market.

Just stay patient, collect data and look at a BUNCH of cars. Eventually you'll run into someone that actually wants the car gone. Watch BaT as well; they're not allowing high reserves on these cars and they're trading well.
