need info on a 996 gt3 mk1 being sold by paul-stephens
Discussion
I'm looking for my first porsche a 996 mk1 gt3 and I've just spoted one at paul-stephens.
I was wondering if any of you knows this car (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/206800.htm), or has had any good experience with paul-stephens or knows any of the previous owners, Laurence Bilton, Kevin Phelan and Peter Hogg.
It would be a great help. Thanks a lot
Cheers

Yes, it's been there for ages and priced originally at £35,995. It's on SOR AFAIK and the owner has posted here before...

There is one major reason why it hasn't sold - no aircon. Now if you only want to play with it on track and are not worried about the (heavy) impact on resale price and time that this will have, then perhaps it'll be the car for you.
As it's on SOR, why not contact the owner directly?

in my humble, non-expert, not-knowing-much-infact, purely speculative opinion the problem is thus.
Its a comfort spec without air con.
If it was a club-sport, it might get away with it missing, as someone would buy it as a track toy.
But being a comfort suggests any buyer will be after something for a reasonable amount of road use, which makes the A/C an important add, and the LHD more of a handicap.
As someone above said, better to go in very, very low and work up than to make an offer - as it will be a hard car to sell on, so make sure its what you want!
but then, what do i know?

£32,000 - Cheap car..(No VERY Cheap Car)
Is A/C, a hugh bill as an after fit ?
You're assuming he'd drop to that level...In the basis he boosted the price with a very cheeky message and apears to have glued some nasty decals to the doors, I'd say he might prefer to back the car to its owner....hence why I'd be mailing/calling the guy on the link I posted earlier.£32,000 - Cheap car..(No VERY Cheap Car)

I have no idea whether it's possible to retrofit. If it was, I'd bet it was dash-out, big labour - probably end up paying most of what you saved retrofitting it...and the car would still be lhd.....

If you can get it for £32,000 + £2,000 - £34,000 !
Anyone seen the car ? Is it a nice one ?
How do you come by your £32k figure? Why should they drop it by £6k to that level?
Does the £2k include retro fitting factory aircon or do you get those nasy little under-dash type vents for that money? Does that £2k cost include parts or is it just for fitting?

Once read a thread that it had a flat spot also through the rev range, oh and a problem with the windscreen apparently, also if you can't sell something as this must have been at PS for over a year why the bloody hell would you place the price even further North.......beggers belief?

I think the price is a bit of humour given he admits it in the advert and an indication that they would willingly negotiate.Once read a thread that it had a flat spot also through the rev range, oh and a problem with the windscreen apparently, also if you can't sell something as this must have been at PS for over a year why the bloody hell would you place the price even further North.......beggers belief?
Not quite sure why it hasn't sold either as its a lot of car if the price is right.
