Some might have seen my post or the new owner posting up a few photos on social media. I have sold my cobalt blue 997.2 GT3 after owning it for nearly 12 years. It was a daily for some of the time and it was in storage for nearly half the time. I travel a lot. Each time I was away I tossed up whether to sell. Each time I returned and drove it I knew I wouldn't sell. This time was different. I'll be based in Europe for the foreseeable future so keeping it didn't make a lot of sense.
Spoke with Doug at Switch Cars early in the year and when I returned to the US I did one last road trip from Georgia to Ohio. It wasn't ideal with a cold snap going through the northern states. Luckily I found some fun empty roads the day before when I still wasn't too far north. Doug had the car sold in less than a day. He was great to deal with and made it all very easy. Some said it was sold too cheaply, others said to expensive. Ah, the internet! Would not hesitate to use him again and in fact he has my 993 there at the moment ( with a recent $10k price drop)
Here's a few photos from the day I picked it up, my first road trip the next day and almost 50000 miles later, the last road trip. It's been fun.
Hannibal lock and Dam with the GT3! Crazy. My Turbo has been there many times visiting tons of family in the area. 536 is a blast right across the street, and great views down the valley.
Congratulations and I sure hope that you made a lifetime of memories. Enjoy your next adventure!
PS. Doug is 'good people', so I'm glad to hear you had a great experience with him.
Thanks. Yes Doug was very easy to deal with throughout the whole process. For lack of a better way to put it, more about the business and relationship rather than just the sale.

I was heading to Triadelphia for the night so I didn't go on 536 although looking on Google maps it looks fun. I found one a bit further north as I headed to Switch Cars. That said, the weather was shocking with a cold blast and a bit of snow around, so I took it very easy on the final run.
I also sold my 997.2 GT3 last week after 14 years of ownership. I dont usually get emotionally attached to cars, but that one was special. I specified the car from new and factory collected it.
My OPC asked me when I took it in for a service if Id be interested in a change? I only buy GT products, and dont like paying over retail was my response. The next day they rang me to offer a GT4RS build slot in September. Still not sure if I did the right thing, but it was time to move on, and after driving a GT4 in the Alps last year, I thought it would be an interesting new purchase.
how many miles after 14 years? one owner car well maintained, bet that was an easy sell by dealer.
not sure j would switch to a non-911 gt, but people love the gt4

Sorry. Missed a key point. 32k miles. Yes the original supplying/ servicing dealer sold it in two days. I got a great price for it also.
