Be selling a GTx car. I've *never* seen so much going for such reasonable sums of money. £54k for a 26k mile 997.1 GT3 at Cridfords. Frankly, amazing. Totally a buyers market at the moment, though I guess most people who can afford to spend £55k/£60k on a niche car, don't want to leave it holed up over the winter hence slow demand.

Not really. Bought mine at 6700 miles; got plenty of summer trips left before it's a concern. I'm just amazed at the relative bargains to be had for the pain of having to sit on the car for a few months until things warm up again. I guess 4 months of limited driving has that effect. fk it - the car's such a laugh I might just hang onto it for the long term!

It never ceases to amaze me that so called specialists can't get the names of the colours right - it is Carrara White, not carrera! Next they'll be telling us it has a metzger engine.....

Prices have certainly come down, there is a black 2007 car with 3k miles for less than 50k in autotrader.

Hi DrPep,

Are you the Pepper I met at P.Hawksworth's stag/wedding??

If so, good to see you've upgraded to the GT3! I've just ditched the M3 for a 996 Turbo S but was sorely tempted by a 7GT3. (Needed the back seats in the end and a car my wife could drive now and again.) The GTs seem good value right now - but that's winter hey. I think it's such an amazing car you'd sorely miss it when it's gone....

Keep dreaming of the summer!

Cheers

Ha! Hello mate! small world; I am indeed one and the same DrPep. 996 Turbo S's also looks like a great buy at the moment! Good work! Only thing with the GT3 is I kinda need use of a second car for less special duties. Here's to hoping streetcar will do the job smile

Cheers, N
