Default OPEN CALL:Sell me your 6gt3?

As many of you have seen and been very helpful over the past months or so I have been casually hunting for a 6gt3 and prepping my heart to let go of my 6tt.
I have seen some nice cars and lost Bill911's due to not stepping up a couple of grand which I regret.

I have also identified two strong condendors which I plan to do a ppi on one and likely will do a ppi on the second one as well next week. I figured it would not hurt to ask and see who out there is seriously considering selling in the next few weeks or month.

I tend to think that my budget 48-54k is "in the mkt" for most cars on a private sale and maybe one or two being listed on the normal sites mostly by dealers. Not interested in anything over 54k no matter how nice it is because that is my max budget and that would have to pretty much be a white/black car with all the safety goodies ie gt3 seats, tech bar, 6pts, exhaust plus a ton of cool mods and lower miles extremely well cared for no story car with a good history of maintinence.

50-52k seems to be the sweet spot for a nice enough car that fits my bill with miles in the 20's and decent options that are oem, multiple sets of wheels and tires etc...

Would also consider trade for my 03 turbo that is listed in the fs section which is silver. Silver is not at the top of my list for a 6GT3 as I am looking for a bit of a change. Colors are in order of my preference below:

white
yellow
black
grey
red
blue
silver

Shoot me a pm or give me a call if you have anything that fits into the above.
210-601-4535

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks for the info, sounds like a great track car with lots of goodies. If for some reason a car that I am strongly looking at and will decide on in the next 7 days does not work, I will keep yours as a back up since you have planned use for the next month.

Tom, You know my opinion. Don't settle, search for the right car, and ask the right questions, which you are doing.

Here's a comment to those who are reading this thread and considering selling... If you KNOW there is an issue that may have been in your car's history before or during your ownership of it, for GODS SAKE disclose it up front. Save yourself and the prospective buyer the time and grief. It may or may not be an issue, but if you disclose it at the outset, you both "know" with little time spent.

This buyer is a solid Porsche "guy" and a friend of mine. He won't fall for some basket case, so full disclosure is the best aproach.
Mike

You guys are so Slow... I named her (and posted about it) shortly after I bought her in May!!!

And I made those comments above with cause. I don't carelessly make such suggestions about fuill disclosure.

I think you have Polar Silver (popular 993-era color and special/expensive color for GT3)
