I pick it up Wednesday and at that point I no longer care about value. I'm gonna drive it and when I get my shot at a .2 gT3 my '16 will be worth whatever its worth.

Thanks Guys !
Great choice.

I would like to know how Porsche of Nashville is/was selling a 2016 CPO GT3 for $125K?! Hell, how so for that CPO 2015 GT3? Assuming the miles were under 15K, those are dirt cheap prices for a GT3. I just did a search on Cars.com and the cheapest CPO 2015 GT3 is still in the $140K range. Do I need to call up Porsche of Nashville? LOL!

Default My 2016 is for sale

Thanks
