Love the colour. The cage seems to have gone missing.

Hasn't that been for sale for nearly 2 years? There were 2 around that price point at JZM, one has trickled down to £97k, this one hasn't moved. Both are still for sale... scratchchin
Pretty sure they are both new cars.

The white 997.2 GT3's that seemed to have 'stuck' at JZM (one was there when I bought my car 3 years back) are no longer listed, so gone somewhere else - back to the owners, through auction, whatever - and these two cars are, as far as I can discern 'new' stock.

There is only one car that would tempt me to trade - a 997.2 GT3 RS and, even then, I'd sorely miss my car for how it drives and the experiences we've shared. (I'm sentimental WRT cars.)

However, the track-specced car with all the extras is very, very tempting. All the right bits and ready to enjoy.

Hence when I do build a car, and btw I already built a 987.2 2010 car and it’s an amazing drive. If I do another it will be up a level over what I already own.
I hope you do this - it'll no doubt be a fantastic car.

I agree that red 997.2 at JZM looks great and great value to me.

I wouldn’t have a problem with that mileage, in fact i like the fact it looks like it has been lightly used rather than parked up.

I like the combination of buckets and no cage as it’s a very practical spec for road trips.

Blimey....that is tempting...!

It’s a Porsche... the best engineered cars I’ve driven, so mileage would not put me off.

4300 miles a year, what was the owner thinking! This isn’t high mileage even on a GT car.

Not in the least. People are always flipping new cars, so those only able to be the next best thing to the latest GT car follow behind, flipping their cars, so it passes down the chain, especially in the early years.

Bills and service record are key, of course.

Mine has nearly 40,000 and still feels great.

Some people get worried aboy touching a 30.000 mile car.
The car world is crazy. 90% of peaple are worried about putting miles on and how much it will loose, me included until a few years ago.Prices were going up and i though the more miles i put on the less it will be worth.Then i tough F**k it this gives me so much enjoyment, who cares about the value.

40k miles is daft low on a 2006/7 year car lol, not much enjoyment going on !!!
Doing low miles is nothing new.

People put golf's clubby's on trailers these days, mines 3 years old and done 40k already !

Oh I agree totally, but you know what the UK market is obsessed with....

I racked up nearly 30,000 in mine over 3 years and it felt tight as a drum. That’s what I was trying to say.

Think he meant his Golf Clubsport, doubt his GT3 has 40k miles, could be wrong though...

It’s got to be worth more than 50k
