Mine gets driven hard normally, unfortunately I’m away for 6 months, can’t wait to get back behind the wheel in the spring!
Don't worry, you might get early parole if you're well behaved

Don't worry, you might get early parole if you're well behavedI am in the market for a GT3 ... always wanted one can now afford one. I've been looking at the dealer stock and the prices just seem a little on the steep side. What do people think about this one coming on CC...

Comfort but with buckets so would suit the spec I am looking at. Looks good from the photos, but would seem to have a patchy service record and looks like it was SORN for three years since the last service in 2017. Always a slight gamble buying at auction but if the recent prices on CC are a guide then it would represent a big saving on an equivalent at a dealer.

The quality of 996 GT3s varies enormously. Many have been tracked hard over the years, which is fine if they have been well maintained as they are built for the job. But as always, do your homework as they can be expensive cars to put right.https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2004-porsche-9...

They are fantastic cars through, massively underappreciated still.

There's no secret to it having had a rear quarter, I had it inspected which picked it up and JZM confirmed. It has emphatically not been smashed up. One replacement panel.https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
IMHO a good car, good spec, good parts put on it (2 piece brakes), required taste colour, black wheels dour which could be changed, realistic asking price.
Selling price open to question seeing as it's still for sale.

No suggestion here it has had serious trauma, and I would never state a car had definitively had replacement panel/s unless I’d seen it for myself, hence the disclaimer “allegedly”.
Agree the black wheels do it no favours (unless you like that kind of thing) and whilst Midnight looks stunning in bright sunlight when clean and marr free, but in dull light conditions it’s more doom blue.
It’s not a strong colour for a GT3, and the wheels just add to the impression of “dullness”.
The leather on the seats could do with some tensioning (nothing an afternoon’s work wouldn’t sort) or let a decent auto trimmer loose on them)
Bolt a set of gold E88’s or LM’s on it and everyone in the paddock would be drooling over it
I’m not convinced a Mk 2 GT3 (non-RS) at £70K is particularly good value now, and the market looks to think the same.
No doubt the Midnight car at JZM is a decent example, but I’m doubtful it sell at £60K anytime soo, I’d much rather the 49K mile Guards red Mk 2 at £55K and de-chav it a bit.

Too rich for a non-clubsport being sold on an online auction IMO. Plus wrong time of year to sell. I will guess £53k + fees. Great car for the money though if it checks out.
Knowing how much the owner paid for the car, I think the reserve would be a bit higher than that.Gassing Station | 911/Carrera GT | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
