Incredible business by JZM.

yes..fair play to them been up there a few times and always seem a genuine place Jonas really nice chap and Steve McHale seriously knows his onions on GT3 set up I am told. Really hope they stay that way quite a few other dealers (the mag slags) have done some shocking things recently but appears JZM have a deservedly top reputation.

It's amazing to think I almost swapped my 996 RS for a 997 Turbo a few years back.laugh

Thread hijack maybe but opinions welcomed - considering selling my Zanzibar GT3 Mk1 (non RS) comfort (but with buckets and cage). 48k miles - cat C 7 years ago - no details of work required and couldn't find any pics on the net. Love it but just not using it much. Bought on PH a short time ago (thread should be easy to find). Don't 'need' to sell and could easily be a 'keeper' (everyone thinks that and in reality probably means 3 years or so!).

Really no idea on value given the 'C'. Thinking low to mid 30's in which case i'd probably let it go if only to more easily justify a 997T to the wife as a winter commuter. Might advertise anyway at the weekend and see what response I get for a week or so (and then probably change my mind!). Not a bad thing to look at anyway!

Isn't this the one that was bought for under 20k a few months ago?

I wish! I paid £23k and the seller could have sold it many times over - he had around 100 enquiries! Really nice chap too. Too good a deal not to buy it. I was figuring that at that 'value' I can keep it however little I use it and being formerly cat C means I wouldn't feel guilty about taking it on the odd track day or two - haven't so far though. I think if the consensus (and I can convince myself!) that it wouldn't sell for much more than I bought it for it's definitely staying.

What are you getting? Sounds like perfect timing with the long weekend approaching. I always look forward to washing a new car for the first time - a great way of really getting to know the bodywork - but that might just be me being a bit weird.

I was due to see it the day of the advert and on my way to sunny Croydon when I found out it was Cat C, so I pulled out.

If it's the one in Brad's profile it looks fab. No bad thing to big up the seller before collection - might leave it with a bit more fuel than otherwise! Enjoy.

Not mine - I only bought it a few months ago!

The comment made me chuckle is all. Buying sure is a lot more fun than selling. smile

So was the 6rs you said sold for 120 bullst or real st?
like I said, you said its at 120k, no were near mate,
Apolo11, both cars sold at near asking - I saw the evidence.
I am sorry, I have no idea, I only know for sure the price on the one I funded, at 87k, lot of market making going on, like I said I will be pushing for 500k on 4.0s next month....
