Looks interesting at £59k.

It's done a grw miled but does it have history?

[alfapork]

Was this for sale at 911v within the last 12 months?

[Desert Dragon]

Yes same car and I remember trade value was £50,000. 911v had her up at £72,995.

I'm surprised at such a large buy/sell spread. Good buy for someone that as I believe an offer of £68,000 was declined.

Are 997.1 GT3 comfortable as road cars those that run them?

I remember going for a p ride in a 996 GT3 RS and I thought no way I'd use this on road for fun driving. Really was a track car. Same with 997 GT2. I found it too firm for road driving. Is the 997 GT3 different on road to these two?

[Kettmark]

Did the car sell through 911V?
If not, someones about to potentially take quite a hit in the pocket.

I would definitely buy that at around 60 but I doubt it will sell for that and then there are fees on top.

I found my 997.1 slightly too firm for B road driving, kept in 4 years though. I have a 991.2 version now and consider it slightly softer.

I think it depends on what you are used to and also how it is set up. I run a 996 and with KW Competition coilovers and all the other usual bits and bobs. The car is all over the road especially when on uneven surfaces. I enjoy the thrill and the implied danger but some like armchair seats and little road feeling and so are put off by a road going track car.

Used a comfort as a daily. I was fine with it!

[BertBert]

I've a 997.1 GT3 clubsport which I drive daily, it's absolutely fine. Although I did the same with a 6GT3RS so I'm probably not one to judge.
When the 997 was on KWs when I bought it, it was not much fun on the road, but back on PASM even Mrs Bert enjoys it.
Bert

PS anyone want some KWs?

nope. they had it sor for the owner

[Porsche911R]

not much market for higher mile comforts, no wonder 911V could not sell it.

be £63k retail imo to move that so trade bids would be low.

If that is the car I think it is I would avoid it like the plague.

Lol I almost bought this car. It’s as clean as a whistle. What car do you think it is Sherlock?

[IMI A]

Also do you really think 911 Virgin would stock a dodgy car? What a silly comment when you haven’t got a clue.

[Y32]

This is Sid’s personal car (chap who runs Porsche Torque). I would imagine it wants for nothing.
