I'm back on the hunt for a good Gen 2 997 GT3. I may just have to scratch this itch. I've found two of them locally, both with steel brakes and LWBS, both low miles and both asking a fair price.

A) Black - 13,125 miles - $124,500 USDs - coolant lines not pinned, rear diff = ?

B) White with red seat belts - 15,000 miles - $131,500 USDs - coolant lines not pinned, diff unknown

Anyone have any thoughts on the price. I get the idea that with the Gen 2 991's out nearly impossible to get the 997s are holding their own.

Thanks in advance...

Have you looked in the classifieds here? Those both look ~20k high to me based off of the small amount of detail that you've provided. You should be able to get into a non bucket car for 100-110 without much issue.

These are Canadian cars with the prices converted to USD. But they are both top-of-the-market cars and priced as such (if they're the ones I'm thinking of).

Joel, I assume the white one is the one you checked out last summer and the black one belongs to Blitzkrieg? If so, I know of another black car which the seller is thinking of getting rid of (LWBS + steel brakes). Feel free to shoot me an email.

Why not just buy a car in the states and import? Importing to the states is a 2.5% fee, seems like the savings would pay for a few of those

Thanks an excellent idea. Thanks. I've crunch the numbers before and with the import duty, shipping, brokering etc... it usually adds on another 10%. So a $100K USD car usually comes in around $110K.

Hey Cam - yes - the same white I looked at last year and his mate's black one. The Blitzkrieg GT3 has been bored out to a 4.0. Not too interested in that one but it may be a BEAST! How are things with yours?

WantA997

Ah, gotcha. In that case the car I was referring to is indeed the one you're looking at. My only issue with both cars is their lack of full leather (dash). Entirely personal preference, but a deal-breaker for me (YMMV).

Scan posted a 997.2 RS in their IG and hinted that it would be coming up for sale soon--do you know the story behind that car?

My car is great. Racking up the miles in California right now. I miss the BBCs but the canyons out here are truly remarkable.

Good luck with your search! Hopefully by the time I'm back you're the proud new owner of a GT3

If it's the same black Blitzkrieg GT3 that's advertised, I don't think it's been bored out to a 4.0L. The ad was confusing when you first read it but it stated its a 3.8L.

Good luck with your search

The white one looks like perfect if its the same ad I saw on CL.
