Default Third time’s a charm!

The search for “The One” has hopefully come to a happy ending....began with selling an ‘07 GT3 for an ordered ‘19 GT3 (GT Silver, manual, steels, sofas) last yr -> traded in for another ‘19 GT3 (GT Silver, PDK, PCCB, sofas) in March, which In turn was exchanged for a ‘18 GT3 (Chalk, manual, PCCB, LWB, CXX’s) yesterday. Love the PDK but it didnt take long before I felt like something was missing. Have always driven a manual starting 32 yrs ago with a 1988 Honda CRX...should have known the PDK would not last. Went to Napleton to check out a Macan but saw this in the showroom...and thats all she wrote. In this case, absence made the heart grow fonder ❤️

GT3. Manual. LWB. That’s all you need.
The true euro GT3 experience.
Nice pick up. Enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words...i think Napleton just took the car in earlier this week. Their ask was high relatively to others (about $10K back of MSRP) but the trade-in value was generous so the delta was $22K + tax. Also have had a couple of less than ideal out-of-state sight unseen transactions so would prefer to see / touch / feel before buying now. Really like the buckets so far and good god did I miss this manual...
