One of the main issues is the whole thing around Range 1/2 over-revs, it's gained more prominence and a few cars have been on sale for a while now because they've got RR1/RR2 instances.
Long term, a low miles 996 GT3 RS with no rev issues is a good place to put money. As is any kind of CSL ! :)

What he said. The RR2 incidents are the ones to watch potentially signifying a misslotted gear on downshift. Apparently if the car has done more than 50 hours since the RR2 any damage would already have shown itself. Look at the limiters on the cup cars to see what these engines can really take (good German over engineered and understressed production techniques/limits).
On GT3's the 996.1 appears to be on the way back up. A lot of BS on them being 'exclusively hand built', etc. which add's to the 'rarity value' that sellers often quote. The 996.2 is the better, faster car and the last of the analogue GT's with no electronic aids or Sport buttons. I think their values have close to bottomed and have already read ad's maligning the new automatic GT3 and it's electronic wizardry. It is difficult to believe that with the Club Sport and RS variants, that a mainstream manufacturer signed them into production.
Almost bings you back to the good old days of Group B motorsport! :-D |
