Can't say I'm fussy for the brown interior though...and the ceramic brakes may be expensive, but they don't have a great reputation.

A silver on black GT3 with steel brakes for $65K. That would give me serious pause for thought.

I'll leave this one for you.

Since it is an '05, I think there is a strong possibility that the PCCB's are Gen II, which reportedly solved a lot of the Gen I issues.

I like the price and the white exterior, but not digging the interior on a white car. Based on miles driven I'd think price might drop slightly. That being said, a GT3 would be a great choice IMO.

Nice car.... not sure why 23K in 2+ years is regarded as high - it just means that it was a daily driver.

I'm also not sure why the price is regarded as high... I must be missing something.

Looks like a reasonable deal to me - Not a bad deal if I were in the market for another white car.

If you're really in the market, there's a good number of them for sale throughout the country.

Try www.motortrend.com and navigate through their classified, make sure you filter "911 GT3"

Autotrader has had a few for awhile now with low miles. A friend just bought the same 04 GT3 I was eyeing (coincidentally) for $56k. Though this one had 51k miles. Imagine that!

Didn't you hear? Most GT3 owners actually don't drive the car! Some, who are on RL, actually track and enjoy the car for what it is! I've found that most 993 GT3's out there for sale have lower miles than predominant.

Nice link Arnee, I'm a bit taken back by some of these used GT3 prices.

yeah, but he's in the Bay Area, so can drive it all year around if he wants to... I know I would.

Yeah, my point was/is that the other GT3 owners out there bought the car as a trophy and don't drive it as much as an enthusiast would.

I saw a nice 04 Guards Red w/ only 9k miles from San Francisco.

Okay, I get your point. The miles might be high compared to some GT3s, but not really that unreasonable for a car of its age.

Exactly. Lots of GT3s seem to =low miles.
