Default I'm back

Just re-purchased my former SY GT3 from George996.
I never understood why anyone would buy a car back, 'specially for more than they sold it for originally.............................
Now I know.

Fortunately the 3 is in BETTER condition that when I sold it to George.
Thank you for the most excellent care-taking.

I had been shopping for a 997.2 GT3, but after a few dead-ends, decided I didn't really need center-lock wheels (and a few other things).

I'm happy and looking forward to comparing it with the F360.

here is a link to my previous new owner intro
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...gt3-owner.html

And a few requisite photos.

Cheers

Craig

Yes, I have a little seller's remorse. Craig, remember our deal, I get first dibs, again.

Congratz! I almost brought this SY GT3 back in 2013 when it was on Craigslist fs by the original owner, brought ticket to fly down to see it but wasn't quick enough! I remember it was a 1 owner, 30k miles, never been track/mod, asking $55k...

Welcome back. I'm about to sell mine, and boy am I having second thoughts. I also looked briefly at 997 GT3. Don't see that as an upgrade frankly.

From what i've re-learned, I'd be hard pressed to sell a sweet white 996 GT3.
997.1 is not a worthwhile upgrade IMO.

Yeah the interior has "better" gauges & dash
and
The headlights are different.
But i would not trade.
