beauty - the car too, but that's approaching 7.1 3GT3 pricing, right?

Why would you think everyone wants a 997.1 GT3 over a 996? I for one would not. That said, the market will decide what my car is worth, won't it? If the price is too low for my liking, I will not sell it. Simple enough, right?

Nice car. Good luck with the sale.
I just bought the nearly identical car last fall.

Thanks. I sort of have mixed emotions about selling it and replacing it with a 997 turbo so I guess I'll just see what the market will bear.

you should consider replacing your 6 GT3 with a 997 GT3 if you're looking for something more comfy and "newer" technology/engineering... once you go 911 GTx, it'll be very hard to go to any other 911 variant even turbo.

New battery six months ago, aligned, oil & filter & brake flush in the last 100 miles.

Too high? Don't buy it.

Its a fair asking price. Look how low the miles are. I just bought a 2011 Truck in November and hardly drive it. (feels that way) and it has 3000 miles on it already. Good luck with the sale.

I could not agree more! Besides, you have a low optioned, low mileage car that looks great and is bound to be a demand car. Not to mention that you got it in Red, which is clearly the fastest color the 996 GT3 came in.....I'm just sayin'

On a serious note, it is estimated that there were under 1,000 of the 996 GT3's that ever were sold in the US. One day you will wish you had that car back if you sell it.

As for price, yes, it is higher than average. But look at the car....it is a very low production, very low option'd VERY low mileage super car in immaculate shape. Show me 5 more like it in the US for sale. If you can, tell me what the asking price is for it. I think it's worth something very close to his asking price. The only reason I say that is the cost of new tires. 7 year old tires is pushing it a bit.

I've finally seen the light. The car is no longer for sale and I'll buy it new shoes tomorrow. Thanks everyone for talking me out of the sale.

Aren't you glad the thread seemed to jump the track?

As most here know, selling my GT3 is something I regret all the time. Sure I love my Turbo and bought it since it has a back seat to drive my two little boys around. Lucky for them, I love them more than the GT3.
