I am in the process of relocating and unfortunately that means that I am going to sell my 2007 997.1 GT3, (I am moving to a state where there is snow and it would drive me nuts to see the car sit in the garage through the winter). The car is in very good shape with low miles, (17,5xx odd miles on it). The car has never been tracked, I live in Southern California and drive the car regularly through the local canyons. I have a book with maintenance receipts as well as stamps in the factory maintenance manual from dealers who maintained the car for earlier owners. All maintenance is up to date, and has been done by Vision Motorsports since I have owned the car, I also just had the annual service done and had them run a DME report showing zero overrevs. Coolant pipes welded, no curb rash on wheels, Clean CarFax...

Hopefully you get the idea, the car is in good condition.

But there is one thing. It has a clear bra on it that covers the front spoiler, hood, and fenders that has yellowed. So I guess it is really a not so clear bra now. It is in good condition, it just has yellowed. I know that is a negative and someone will most likely want to remove it and replace it with a new one.

My question is this: if you were selling the car how much would you reduce the selling price for that?

Thanks in advance for everyones help.

Chris

First off, thank all of you for your input! I do really appreciate it as my first instinct was to lower the price for the yellowing clear bra, however it sounds like it won't really be much of an issue and I can work out any deals with a prospective buyer.

@RAudi Driver: I couldn't figure out how to send a pm to you to chat about the sale of your 997.1, (although I would definitely like to hear what you have to say), it looks like I need a premium membership to the site to do that? Not sure, if you know how to crack the code let me know... I know I'm a newbie at this.

@jmann2380: I get it. When I read what I wrote the first couple of times I thought the same thing, dude bragging about his car but acting like he's not... What a tool. That being said I figured the response might be different if the car was clapped out vs being in good condition so I went with the dude bragging about his car but acting like he's not angle, you called me out on it. It's all good, I called myself out for doing it as well... Oh yeah, not a single pm asking price and if was still for sale-maybe that goes back to the whole not having a premium account or something.

@998TT: I'll give you a call tomorrow and we can talk. There are two guys presently sniffing around the car that seem serious, although one was supposed to come by today but ended up not being able to make it, the other wants to come see it next week.

@silviaks: Car hasn't sold yet, see above.

Thanks again guys for your input!

Cheers,
Chris
