- A Porsche 911 GT3 Touring just sold at auction for over $270,000.
- Thus, it raked in a $63,000 profit for the original owner who paid the MSRP.
- Some believe such models’ value will continue to rise in the next few months.
Porsche fans often treat prices like they’re tracking the stock market. They follow trends, predict shifts, and sometimes pull the trigger at what seems like a high price, hoping for that sweet, sweet appreciation. That’s exactly what we saw at a recent auction. After paying $211,670 for a stunning GT3 Touring, was flipped for $273,000, netting the seller a tidy $63,000 profit, despite putting 2,000 miles on it. Not bad at all.

The car in question is a 2024 example, and it’s devoid of the flashy aero bits many Porsches in this sphere possess. Instead, it has something potentially even better: a great combination of options. First, as a 911 GT3 Touring, it automatically comes with chassis tuning aimed at curvy roads, subtle aerodynamic tweaks, and a 502 hp (374 kW) flat-six engine.

On top of that, the seller configured the car with Agate Gray metallic paint, a black interior, satin neodyme-finished center-lock wheels, yellow brake calipers, yellow seat belts, and a six-speed manual gearbox. Notably, the Agate Gray here is almost pearlescent and is no longer offered in the configurator, so it likely drew attention to the car.
While we don’t praise flippers or dealers who mark cars up, it sounds like this seller had other reasons for the sale. “I can assure you, this car was a dream come true to get the allocation. Spent many sleepless nights dialing in the spec and then watching every step of the delivery”, he said. “Even tracking the RoRo ship on a daily basis till the GT3T was safely at port. The intention was never to sell, but without going into detail, some serious life decisions had to be made, and ultimately, the right move was to sell the Touring.”.
The Auction Drama
No doubt, they must have been stoked when the very first bid popped in at $240,000 before anyone could comment on the auction. That said, it appears that the new buyer might be getting ready to flip it again. One commenter in the auction noted that they’d already bought 14 other Porsches this year on the platform. Why pay this much when the MSRP was so much less?

Another commenter provided a little insight. “Great buy – prices will be rapidly rising with new bumps in MSRP and tariffs. In 6 months, this will probably be worth an additional 50k.” Whether or not that’s true remains to be seen, but what’s not in question is that this is one gorgeous Porsche.
