Default Why did I sell the GT3?

I always laughed at the people on this forum that would sell a GT3 and buy another one shortly thereafter. It’s always funnier when it’s somebody else. I sold my GT3 and as it was being loaded tonight I really wondered what the hell I was thinking. The guy I sold it to has had two already. My mind is wondering what is next? I keep coming up with maybe another GT3. If you’ve got a good one hang on to it.

That's a sad photo. Glad it wasn't mine. Although the F430 would be a good way to console myself.

Forget the GT3. Move your mind to a RS.

Finally, someone selling a GT3 that is not on the West coast. Hopefully a nice one will come up in the Northeast. With the mortgage fallout at some of the big banks in NY my luck could change.

My guess is that it was sold for somewhere between US$65,000 and US$95,000

It would be much better if you told us what you are looking at and the specifics on the car and we could give you a better idea if you are offering a good solid offer.

Grant, I just checked the eBay; most 996 GT3 did not meet the reserve but the last bid fell within my rage.

Please let me know if you think the pricing is totally off because I see myself looking for a White one!
