Default Found a 04 Speed Yellow GT3...

...in flawless condition. I get to drive the car Monday...I can hardly wait. I will be selling my 993...had this car for nearly 15 years, time to get a new toy. If I manage to pull this off, then I will be a regular reader of this Forum.

The enclosed review by Bob Carlson, what's not to like????

Default GT3

I sold my Speed Yellow 04 last Spring. Wondering if it might be my old car? Mileage? Last 4 digits of the Vin?

Smile The Prospective car...

I believe the GT3 came to Cali from a Porsche dealer Texas...don't know the VIN at this time. What an outrageously beautiful car.

Default Yellow GT3

Good luck with it!

If you don't mind, after you get the deal, I would be interested in the price. I have a 2005 that I have been considering selling and the market for these cars seems to be pretty strong now, trying to determine what i might ask.

Thanks!

Subtle? Subtle as a brick through a windscreen I have always wanted a Speed Yellow 911 that went as fast as it looks. I don't have it yet...yet, but I am scheming and planning.

The tough sell will be the War Department. I will be using the "investment" word, frequently. They made less than 2,500 of the 2004 - 2005 GT3 cars, and how many of them were in Speed Yellow?

I think the miles are about 45K and all maintenance has been performed as required.

If you plan on selling your 993, please pm me the details. I am looking for a manual coupe.

Thanks!

You'll love the car Martin. Way better than any other P car I've ever owned in terms of performance and value, although the value proposition is quickly evaporating due to increasing cost of buy in. It'll just blow the pants off the 993 at Willow. It comes close to the feeling of my 73 RS, but way faster and just about as nimble. Properly set up, these cars are just so perfect to drive on the edge. Send me a PM if you need any further discussion points. I've owned 3 of these now and just can't get enough. I'm local, so let's talk if/when you like.

Best
Chris

There's a thread not too far down that was recently bumped on colors and numbers in the US.

Yellow is the 3rd most popular color behind black and silver.
