£25k 996 GT3

What do we all think then? I think it's a bargain - the GT models last a long time, not so sure about the (presumably) original ceramics on 180,000 miles though.

£25k 996 GT3

amazing...

i would personally want to spend an extra 8k though and get one with 130k miles less

beg, borrow, rob a bank, whatever it takes .... 130k miles is worth 8k for a car like this IMO

[Butters]

Wowzer! That is quite something. Certainly a good advert for the 996 GT3...

EPIC!

[JulesV]

It's a stunning looking car. Just fantastic that someone has used it in this way.

[Henry-F]

The last Circa 42k mls GT3 we sold made £14k more from memory. I'm not sure £32k buys an all together perfect 50k mls GT3 from a recognised specialist.

This won't be a car for everyone but for the right person a fantastic opportunity. A chance to plonk your bum in a genuine GT3 with no fear of using it at all and financially how low will it ever go?

Any way a car which will no doubt fuel a bit of lively debate

Have seen this car in the flesh as owner was interested in my GT3 at the time. Thought it was being sold to someone who was going to use it as circuit race car.

[Stu R]

There's a really dark corner of my mind which wants me to buy this and send it north of 250k miles

[DH01]

Strewth, can you imagine as the vendor told the dealer the mileage when buying the car in. The resulting sucking of air through the teeth was probably what started hurricane Irene off !

I've read the add ... so if the 'repair' initially escaped your thorough inspection how did you eventually find out about it and, did you subsequently go and re-check where the repair was?

[Homer J]

Very nice.

Can't believe the interior is in such good order.

[SonnyM]

This looks like a bargain, unless it needs a rebuild at some point - but I'm sure Henry can do that and let you stay on his yacht in Cote D'Azur whilst that's being done...

Through the owner discussing it at the time.

We are happy all is well

How are the brakes holding up?

I'd be interested to know if it's on the original PCCB discs with that mileage!

exactly what I was thinking.

are there some very big bills (normal wear and tear) on the horizon? that would be my only worry.

[thegoose]

I can't see that the brakes matter that much, most people switch to steel discs and they're a consumable anyway.

If they're original then it's probably testament to the car having an easy life and the brakes lasting massively longer than if it had steels from new - just as the marketing stuff used to say they would.

[Carlton Banks]

It would be wise for me to drive or get taken out in one of these as they look awful. IMO of course!

Henry,

a beautifully worded ad, just as long as you don't have a low mileage example in at the same time. Could bring some interesting questions regarding its usage

It looks in A1 condition and hats off to your transparency regarding its earlier 'incident'.

You can quite clearly tell you are tacking the Forum Banter head on from the off-set! Good on you!

All the best,
Stevie

[sportsandclassic]

Nice colour

I've seen the car in the last twelve months or less, as far as I know (from conversations with those that should know) they're the originals (and thus a testament to the claims originally made for them IF the car is not used for track work)

Come on someone, do the maths for the costs to run steel discs compared to ceramics over 180K miles. Clearly the brake pads and anti-squeal shims would still have to be replaced irrespective of whether the discs were steel or ceramic.
On the basis of the car being used mainly on the road you'd budget on front discs every 25K miles ? and rear discs every 35K miles ? Pads every 25K miles ?
