No, but it's a really good thing it's got the clear bra on already! The car sounds like the one to go after.

Meteor gray one with the lower miles. You'll have an easier time selling the grey one because yellow is nice but I believe appeals to a smaller group of potential owners.

Agreed, the grey one would be my choice. But you should be able to buy the yellow car for less $.

Don't think so - it was not a regular color I don't think

Meteor grey replaced Seal grey in the lineup. And imo Meteor is a much nicer color. I really dig the grey car and Brad is a good seller. That being said Yellow 997 GT3s are rare and if you have a strong preference for that color go for it. A lot of nice cars coming to market and good comments from the guys on the board. Keep us posted...

Do the other 911's in his showroom have a clear bra? If not, check those and I believe the delta is around +/- 1.5 mils.

i'd go with the meteor grey one as well. have chatted with Brad and his guys a few times and seems like a good guy.
i know that car used to be listed at a higher price and was even shown as sale pending for a bit, but not sure why that deal didn't happen.

Sports cars should be bright vibrant colors. If it's not a color of something in a Skittles bag it's never in my garage

That Meteor one looks really sharp. If all checks out it's a no brainer. The color matched wheels are nice. I'm a bit biased as my 6-3 is Atlas with Atlas wheels, seat-backs and center console.

EDIT: looked at the ads again and noticed the list of mods on the Meteor car. Obviously if you prefer a stock car this might give you some hesitation. These are all good mods. Not sure about the EVOMSIT tune though. How much do these cars benefit from it?

The reading on the hood with clear bra and the other parts covered came up way higher consistently. I think 20 or so. Do I need to worry? I will complete a PPI on Tuesday. So far had the DMW done and only a few in stage 1 so it's clean.

I hear you... but I don't have a garage full of cars, so driving a yellow car regularly might get tiresome.
