Default Anyone looking for a really nice GT3?

Still looking at my options here but higher than expected IRS bill and start-up costs on new office building have me contemplating the sale of my beautiful GT3.

Just wondering if any RLister could give it a good home. This is Jeff's old car from Oregon that has all the factory RS/Clubsport bits on it. I've barely driven the car since I purchased it from him in January.

PM if interested.

I have a friend who is looking, but a price and a little more detail would be helpful.

Yes. Car still has 22k miles (I've driven 300 with it). With track driving in mind, I added additional clear wrap, brand new Pagids all around, lowered/aligned/corner balanced. Car has factory bolt in cage with removable front section, cloth GT3 Recaros, Shorth hanresses, factory fire extinguisher and mount, Momo Cup steering wheel. I have factory seats, steering wheel, radio, mats, etc. Factory A/C delete. Pictures don't do this car justice, its stunning.

Will sell for $60k. Second set of Kinesis wheels with barely used Toyo R888's and non-factory RS CF wing (seen in avatar) available for additional $$ or separately if car sells.

Again, PM if interested (and before I change my mind and try to ride out this wave of expenses).

ex10psi - well, we'll see what happens. i don't really want to sell but I just don't have the time I used to have to drive, it definitely won't see much use in the Phoenix summer, and its a little hard to justify having it sit there when the expenses are piling up.

the logic makes sense. i hope that you can figure things out ride it out and keep her, but only you can make that decision.

however, awesome deal for anyone looking!! i am first hand witness, this a a very special car, best one around!

This car kills me every time it comes up for sale! I'd bring it back to the NW but I just started a new business as well. At least I know where it is now when I'm shopping again...

jguichard- I won't be able to afford it a year from now, Obama has it in for me. I'm just thankful I have friends like you so I can still drive a GT3 from time to time.

We'll see what happens here. I'm not in a hurry and I won't give it away. Still hoping to run it at Cal Speedway with you.
