Default Looking for GT3

In the market for a GT3, i am open to 997.1 and .2, options dont matter much. Would love lapis, cobalt or midnight (keep dreaming right) Open to meteor greys and silver. Would like to stay away from white and black. If anyone is looking to part ways with one or knows a friend who is please PM me info.

There's a grey 997.1 with Sharky's 3.9 in the classified. I would have jumped on that but I didn't see it before making a move on my current car

I have an 07 with 23,300 miles in Meteor Gray. No track ever, and since I've owned it, no rain. Beautiful car. New tires December 2017 now have less than 1000 miles on them.

There seems to be a 07 midnight blue metallic listed on Autotrader in Anaheim, CA. Nearly 30K mileage asking $90k. As far as I could figure out, there were only 8 Midnight Blue Gt3s sent to North America, one of which was a Canadian car. If you're really looking for that color, could be a rare opportunity.

Talked with him already, some recent stage 4 over revs made me a little weary for the asking price. Thanks for the the heads up thought. Why don't you sell me yours!!!

LOL! Midnight blue is phenomenal color on the GT3 and hopefully another one pops up soon. Mine however isn't going anywhere! Sucks about the DME report though. Looks like a nice car from the pics.

looks like the missed shift was more than 100 hours ago. No one can tell you what your personal risk tolerance is... For me; if that car ticked all my boxes for color, condition, options etc, and it had that blip I'd probably buy it. If I was already not sure about the car for a variety of reasons I might use this as an excuse to make up my mind to walk away.

I still think it's worth considering. I'd get a thorough PPI and maybe try to negotiate the price. I think to a large extent, over revs are blown out of proportion. A lot of good cars are passed up because of the paranoia thats been perpetuated. Where are you located? Are you able to check out the car in person?

Milazzo, Can I ask how you know how many of one particular color were sold in US, verses Canada? .... ********** shows the overall production numbers between the countries, but when you dig into "exterior colors" menu, it only differentiates how many "per year" (not per country for colors).

TIA,

So before I bought my GT3 I was scouring RL hoping to find a thread from a previous owner so I'd have a better idea of its history. I didn't find anything about my specific car but I did come across a thread talking about production numbers for blue GT3s given their scarcity. Doug at switchcars replied to the thread and stated those numbers for the 997.1 in Midnight Blue Metallic. I couldn't find it on ********** either but I figure if anyone is going to have specific production info it's going to be Doug at Switchcars.
