How can a GT3 MK2 go from £49,995 to £64,995 virtually overnight?

For sale by an indi. up north 2003(03) Speed Yellow, 11K miles, A/C and buckets...

It must be the most expensive available? confused

They do it to jack up the finance some one has on the car, not an error.

It means that there is a shortage of GT3's because Porsche have stopped making the 997 version --- accepting no more orders.

As for £65k ? How much were they new ? !

I have a feeling it won't sell at £65K. As already said that's RS money.......

My point is that last week it was £49,995!

What can happen to it in a few days to make it worth £15,000 more?

I spoke to the owner a little while ago and mentioned to him the appreciation on the gt3. Its a clerical error that price should be on an rs thats coming in.
Oh the car is at SSC (www.shaksspecialistcars.co.uk) if anyone is interested.

Shame, I had rather hoped that the clerical error was with the numbers 6 and 4 and it was coming down to £46,995! laugh

Price increases for MK11 GT3's are inevitable, there were so few made and production of the 997 version was a) limited and b) ceased but even so that is a whopping increase.

Still i hope it sells at that price!

I saw this car and test drove it last summer. I personally wouldn't give 45K for it, let alone 48K.

I am also considering one for next year - Heads saying 997S but heart is saying 996 GT3.

P.S. Stupidity is saying Ferrari 360 Modena

Any reason why? bad condition? accident damage?

Ask the seller about the service history. The car itself appears to be OK (apart from the lack of a front splitter and a passenger airbag cover which looks grey rather than black and has bite marks on it).

The dealer said that the bite marks were from the last owner's dog. It used to sit in the passenger seat apparently.

Is he serious!? And I suppose the straw under the bonnet is from the previous owner's chickens?? I'd run a mile mate.
