Is this a fair price for a 'leggy' gen 1 comfort gt3?

Let's hope it fares well. I think it will!

It's Arctic Silver. Having looked at, and driven a handful recently, that was the one that tickled my fancy. A strong offer on my p/x, and successful negotiation on a few other things sealed the deal.

Congrats. It looked very tidy. Pics please when you get it and have wiped the drool off!

- that was the only response needed. Well said Steve.

I purchased a 997.1 GT3 in Feb 2017, pretty much top of the market, but it was a car I've lusted after since they were new. The reality for me (and probably most owners) is that TIME is the deciding factor of usage. I certainly don't worry about depreciation, it is a car after all.

Just buy one. And use it when you can. Life is indeed short.

Huzzah!

Spot on.

Pick mine up on Saturday....

-excellent. Congratulations. Love arctic silver too, must be rare on a GT3... (?) Enjoy the drive home :-)

Thanks.

If our tastes are echoed by our North American cousins, Atlas was the 3rd most popular colour, followed closely by Guards red, but white was by far the most popular. Info' here....

Anyone viewed the OP car?

[evodarren]

RC1 how are you getting on with your search

[RC1]

Pretty poorly but mainly me not wanting to pay what people want

I saw the guards red cs that was very tidy and was convinced it would be there forever. How wrong was i

I'm setting my sights lower now in terms of spec and budget

[evodarren]

What is your new budget.
I have comfort sport seats and have tried one with buckets. I’m happy with buckets for my type of driving. If I was doing lots of track day I can see they would be beneficial. But for my use touring, getting in and out sight seeing for both myself and the missis there great.

[Kettmark]

RC1, where was the red cs? There was one at top 555 in Oakham until recently at top dollar which I thought they would have until the cows come home but it went.

Have you viewed the £63k private one yet?

[RC1]

Prob best not to talk numbers here but I'm confident it's enough to get me into one but likely not a low mile cs and more likely a leggy comfort

If you have any ideas by all means please pm me

[D.no]

[quote=Kettmark]RC1, where was the red cs? /quote]

I believe it was at JZM. Advertised for £85k-ish from memory. Didn't stick around long.

[Kettmark]

The leggy gt3 has run away. Anyone bought it off here or maybe the guy has given up until after Christmas?

The one that the OP linked to is still for sale by the looks of it.
