There is one that is haunting me (bad timing for me)

Ok spec, manual, buckets, interior carbon, extended leather, lift and a few other bits

I'm guessing between £12k and £15k above list ....Is this the going rate now?

Depends on lots of other factors. Some are asking for over 20k overs

[imycool]

Not seen one that cheap. Looks to be a good price.

I bought the jzm one within a few days of seeing the advert (not sure how long before that it was advertised). But similar examples were advertised at 160-165k at opc's, so I moved quick, as I'd be paying more elsewhere/ waiting for something else to pop up at that price.

I guess the opc might aswell stick it out now that spring is round the corner. Once the lower priced independent ones are gone, they will be the ones left....

Does anyone actually drive these things?????

Of course, what a silly question. How else are they meant to get tham back to the forecourt ? A transporter would cost too much

[imycool]

A used clubsport includes harnesses and fire extiguisher, but they might not be fitted. Mine weren't, but i did ask for the harness to be fitted prior to collection as part of the sale.

Also, there's a video on youtube of somone specking a uk car (at porsche kendal i think) and you can see the options list and prices as they scroll up and down

[imycool]

Spec wise, id day the only real big thing to have would be lift and some sort of bucket seat.
Pccb desirable, and manual/pdk is personal preference. Everything else is ptetty much cosmetic.

• *edit, as pointed out, clubsport essential also

Clubsport is the big spec item absent from that list.

Edited, agree

As for touring, for me i prefer the look of the wing

[imycool]

Never understood some of the tiny weight saving arguments. Just loose some weight, or a passenger....

I bought the Top555 white Gt3, picked up last weekend, awesome car, manual and had more or less the same spec as the black one for sale! I don’t think there will be too many more manual cars coming up for sale with the right spec. I can’t imagine ever wanting to part with it!

Congrats, that was a great speck. How quickly did you buy it ? I know there was someone on this thread (geoff?) That asked about it and was told it was sold pretty quick.

Too 555 have a very high spec white manual CS for £155k. Be interesting to see how they get on with it.

I spotted someone on here had mentioned it on the Thursday (thanks to whoever that was!) I called on the Friday morning and got my deposit down later that day. I’ve been looking for a while. Had enquired about the one at JZM which I think you’ve got? I love the guards red but really wanted a manual so glad I held out until this one came up!

Yes, i took the jzm one, again after someone mentioned ot on here. I'd only seen one gt3 before that a week earlier parked on the road, and thought, hmmm thats looks rather nice. Asked a few questions on here and promptly put a deposit down, as the next car i was looking at was 10k more with similar spec. 1st Porsche ive driven, and what a car.

Yours is a great spec car too! I had a Gt4 so knew the Gt3 would be an amazing car and after reading everything on here couldn’t resist making the jump and so glad now that I have! I picked it up on the Saturday lunch time and just kept driving all afternoon!!

Cheers, likewise, fantastic spec on yours. Just waiting on some decent weather now, and to locate some decent roads .....

Don't think crayon was popular, but i like it. Miami is nice and suits the car

[imycool]

I think sapphire is one of the nicer colours on the gt3. Certainly better than black/grey/yellow

[imycool]

Can the passenger airbags be diasabled to place a rear facing baby seat in this car ? (Bucket seats)
