Looking for a 991.1 GT3, Need suggestions.

Just find the best deal and drive the **** off it. I just picked up a 14' for 112k this weekend, had about 22k miles on it and amazing its replacement engine was a E series. I'm going to DD this ****er to work which is 37 miles each way on the express lane every day I go into the office, and then track it at least 6 times a year. In 2022 or 2023 when I trade it in, if I get 60k I'll be happy because I know I got a lot more that 52k of enjoyment out of this thing over the next 3-4 years.

The 991.1 GT3's have dropped in price but now they seem to have levelled off.
I think the reason for this is:
991.2 GT3RS's are still around or higher than MSRP
991.2 GT3's are all going over $25k + over MSRP
991.2 GT3RS's will be even more over MSRP
997.2 GT3's are comparable in price as 991.1 GT3
997.2 GT3RS's are higher in price than a 991.1 GT3
Add to the fact that the 991.1 GT3's have a 10yr engine warranty, then for the money if you want to get into the GT3 market they're a pretty good deal.
I've driven my '15 GT3 6 hours to the track (Oregon Raceway Park) in complete comfort, tracked for two days and driven back. The duality of the car is amazing.
It definitely has the German secret sauce!

I'm going to take an up close look at this car this weekend. Judging by the Gurnery flap, and BBI street cup roll bar I'm a little apprehensive if this was someone's track beater, but it's odd it has the 4 way seats with the roll bar. After a chat with the dealer they said the previous owner traded it in on a Ferrari and was into "looking fast", but I'm taking that with a grain of salt. I plan on tracking it quite a bit so a roll bar saves me a little cash down the line, but those PCCBs may cost me more in the end.

I actually called about this one. This car definitely has been tracked before. The story I got was that two of the owners are brothers and they took the car on some tour (racing?). since it is a 2014 and not certified, I walked away. but if you plan on tracking your car, I think it is a good deal. The car is pretty loaded.

a clean (accident free, non-branded) example gt3, maintained, even if tracked or engine swapped, should not dip much below 100k imho. i think cars that are being offered in the one-teens thousand range are great values.

I bought a 15 with 15k mi the only regret is that it does not have pccbs. I love the car and I am not wishing for the 18, which I have driven a lot. Yes the 18 engine is a bit more even on the torque, but 2 minutes on the 15 and I forget about it. The car is awesome.

Is it a gray one? You got lucky! the price just dropped another 4K. I also looked at that one, too. I actually prefer regular steel rotors because 1. I don't plan to track. 2. Less replacement cost in the future. Same thing with carbon bucket seats. Actually eliminated ones that have it when I was looking.

Just test drove for the first time a GT3. Much louder, and the suspension feels much stiffer. PDK shifts a bit faster in sport pdk. The GT3 is definitely a next level above my GTS. Brakes felt great too. The front bumper is misaligned on drivers side. CPO and 10 years on the engine. Just don’t know if the GT3 is too raw until I can track more.

Just got an update on this listing. The price just dropped $14,000! Looks like a Clean history car with low miles. Not sure about what options are included, but for sure has Sports Chrono, Carbon Interior, heated seat, and yello seat belts. This is a much, much better deal. If you don't mind the color. I actually think Yellow is a great color for the car. I would have jump on this if it was at this price a week ago.

Dang that is a fantastic deal, but I just can't bring myself to own a yellow GT3 although it does look good in it!
I think I'm just going to have to wait for my black w/steel brakes, pdls led, 90l fuel tank, sound plus, and front axle lift unicorn to pop up.
