Default I'm off. Sold my hottie.

I have been thinking about it for a while now and kind of like the idea of a GT3.
I know I know. But I think I know what I'm doing.

Got two in mind, but they are a fun car for sure. I want some engine noise and would like to try the track day thing every now and then.
It took one phone call and 24 hours later the deal was done, at asking price, no haggeling. A nice way to end my relationship with the ol girl.

So I will still be sniffing around here, and thanks to all you guys for the help over the years. i have been meaning to say that for ages!

The GT3 is one of the few cars that could tempt me out of Rufus, so I fully understand. But... I'm keeping Rufus, and I predict you'll be back also.

Def give us a review of the new GT3. Seriously amazed with that car too!

I'm wondering if they will take a price hit once the new 991 GT3 comes out, again really depends how great they make it. Value to date, they have been strong and you can't go wrong for what your getting.

I could see myself someday consolidating both of my current cars into a GT3. Congrats, Graham. Please keep in touch with us.

GT3 is on my list as well after selling the Riv Blue Cab. I get the draw, and congrats on your next chapter.

Saw a GT3 at Barrett Jackson yesterday and they sure are intoxicating.

Bought at 2010 GT3. Best combination of the feel of the air cooled stuff and modern performance.

A week on and I haven't bought a car, and for me this is amazing. I usually run uut right away and do a deal.

There are 2 GT3's I am looking at. These are 996 GT3's and not the 997 by the way.
I do miss seeing the old tart in the garage, but I had also forgotten how much fun it is researching and dreaming about my next car.

One I am looking at has a price of $105K, 52k's on the clock and looks good, but the dealer calls me every t6wo days offering it at a lower price. It's down to $95K now and I haven't even been to see it. By next weekend it will be $90K and I will do have a drive.

The shape worries me, but then we all know the 993's are the sexiest on the road..............don't we.
