Thumbs up

Not sure why everyone thinks this is such a super deal. Yes, the car is low mileage, in pristine shape. It also has relatively no options. I'd be concerned about an inspection after sitting for so long with so few miles.

2008 Porsche 911 GT3 2dr Coupe True Market Value Pricing

Trade-In $71,940
Private Party $76,577
Dealer Retail $80,209

Certified Used Vehicle $84,617

So if you were in the market for a GT3 and are looking to buy used, its a good deal - but I'm not sure this is a steal. What am I missing?

Interesting.
I guess I've never been the team manager for a professional racing team before either.

People who write you must have PCCB almost certainly have never tracked their car. As an owner of a new 2010 GT3 that I've already tracked 10 times in 2 months you just dont need them. AND if you are good enough to see the time advantage of the unsprung weight decrease, then you should move up to an Ariel Atom or a Formula car!!

Says the guy who's never owned a GT3 with iron brakes....


PS> This GT3 buyer chose the new larger and lighter iron brakes setup on my MKII.

They don't let me race anymore. Something about an "unfair advantage."

Much like when you put 'turbo' on a n/a car - wishful thinking, Dan.
