991.2 gt3 - when is right to buy

[giles panizzi]

Looks like a nice example - I guess the only way to get an indication of use may be to check out tyre wear? I’m 6k miles in and still plenty of tread left on the tyres. Some might say i’m not trying hard enough, but mine gets well used regularly.

Very nice spec but expensive, check the brakes it should give you an idea if its been spanked on track.

Difficult to tell how its been treated, we all want to buy a car that has been loved, run in correctly and not abused.

Good luck

There is a stunning Miami Manual CS for sale at Redline cars if anyone's interested.

Dunno, but by God that's a beautifully specced car!

can you see one anywhere else, got pretty rare all of a sudden.

OPC have Manuals with steels up at £159k

this then looks cheap ! you have to look at the list price of the car, which then makes this one the best value manual from an OPC.

Redline also nice and he got it right with his mirrors ;-)

not bad , :-) same spec as mine, the only thing I don't like is the black mirror bottoms as they speced Carbon mirrors, it don't look right, be nicer with coloured coded mirror bottoms ! look at a GT2 RS for how it should look.

A minor point. Otherwise, aesthetically, IMHO that's a lovely looking car. Nice detail but nowhere have they gone OTT.

I agree , no coloured tat inside the car, as I said same spec as mine ;-) bar I got the mirrors right :-p

Quite surprised at this. Damage in the pictures didn’t look that bad.

There was a YouTuber who got an early Miami Blue car and was going to paint the cage. Guessing it’s his car.

Seats out job so expensive to do just for the removal and fitting.

They've sent me a video and the tyres are original and it's no been on a track. Looked relatively inexpensive for the spec' in relation to the others out there and that's what took my eye. I'm Scottish and can spot a good buy from a mile away. My client is looking at the others out there too, so time will tell!

It might well have done..I bought my Ferrari 458 from them and placed a deposit middle December..However it was still on their website until payment was made in full just in case..
Its an amazing well run outfit and are selling a huge number of high end cars..Puts a lot of Official main dealers to shame IMO..Very strong balance sheet as well showing its also a financially sustainable long term business..I wholeheartedly recommend them..
I bought my Ferrari from them pretty much straight after they posted the first photos..

Haha , I also have only done 4 k miles in my RS in 7 months so guilty as well , even though the RS is more suited as a Daily Driver .

It's one of those little things isn't it? Easy to overlook, but I do always scout around for that detail when buying something relatively expensive, having had issues in the past. That and positive reviews and general reputation and recommendation.

Yep as we said before Christmas, rarity of 'manuels' with the right spec will and have raised prices quite substantially. And wait till the weather improves.

That Tonbridge car will sell AP £160k as did the red car at JZM.
