Michael You were the one I thought about all day today. He is gonna KILL me Michael is gonna KILL ME!
If I would have thought about it we could swapped wheels

CP

Paul,

I thought you'd NEVER sell the 997 GT3. But all good things must end I guess.

New M3? Make sure you score a good deal on it. Need a dealer referral?

Good luck with everything.

GL man, you gotta do the right thing. I'd return it to stock and sell off the parts, 125 from a stealer is good.

OldGuy

As I found out today 125 was alotta talk but still a deal was struck
Chris can you do back surgery!? I could KEEP my car.

CP I know you are an expert on the M series. We will talk!!

thanks for the support.

Paul, they will always be available. Have to do what is right when the situation calls for it. I wouldn't hesitate to sell them all if a good opportunity came around for a nice ski cabin in Telluride or Tahoe.

Hey OldGuy, be sure to stick around here. I gotta have someone to argue with when the GT-R spec-V makes its appearance.

Paul:

Best of luck. I know about backs. I'm missing three discs in the lower spine and one more at the base of the neck ... but pulling "G's for all those years was great. My back is not operable. The lower problem caused me to get rid of the Corvette and my wifes little Lexus SUV for a Cayenne GTS. Much better seats.

I also am feeling bad as my GT3 was bought back last week basically under the "Yellow colored bitter fruit law" Did not lose a dime. Once more my dealer stood up and fought for me. This dealership is a class act. Because of that I'm getting another car (no GT3's left) from him. Since I have no kids left to raise I'm getting a Cayman S to play with and drive as long as I can.

On a different note for all with kids and or grandkids . Last Weds evening my wife and I got a call that no parent ever wants to hear. It was our daughter to say that our grandson ( will be six this week) had developed a brain tumor and needed surgery. My wife and I just held each other and cried. There is good news, through the prayers of many and the skilled hands of Doctors at Duke Medical Center the 6.5 hour operation was a success and Matthew is doing well. The tumor was benign and they got it all. He was actually out of bed with help yesterday. I share this for two reasons. First it puts things in perspective ie what is really important. Second the doctors told us these benign tumors are not all that uncommon in young children SO if one you love complains of headaches, neck pain and or is vomiting for no known reason get them to a good doctor quickly quickly. His prescribed an MRI at once and the mass was found and measured 5 cm. Besides that hug them every day they are worth far more than even a GT3. I'm sorry for the length of this but parents and grandparents will understand.

PS Paul I have found that a piece of equipment called a Precor Stretch trainer is great for helping my back and it is far safer tha a inversion table. Best of Luck

Wow Jack, glad to hear everything turned out ok. Prayers for your grandson.

I could have told you that, but I was hopeful for you.

I would guess that currently buy bids on regular GT3's are closer to $95K to maybe $110K with PCCB's and low miles. I would not at all be surprised if some dealers only offered $90K (buy bid again, not trade) for a low or no option one that has some miles on it. As for trade in value, that is something totally different. They may give you top dollar for your car in trade, but then expect top dollar for the car you are buying (whether it is a trade up or trade down).

CP

Jack,

I'm glad that the story has a happy ending. Tales like that will make us all realize what our priorities are in life. Wishing Mathew a quick and complete recovery.
