Default Looking for a 2008 GT3...

Looking for a low- or no-option 2008 GT3 (not an RS) for under $100k. No white or red cars. Please PM me if you have a car you are interested in selling.

Good luck with the search Alan. I think what you're describing (a low option non-white 2008) is a pretty rare bird. I get the sense that by the time the 2008 models were rolling out the dealers figured out they could gouge people and started loading up on options and ordering the most popular color. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I agree that is a hard combo to find, especially since white was so popular. I know of 3 cars that are low or no option and they are all white.

However, I think that 90% of GT3/RS were built to order. Remember the whole waiting list thing, and how it was mostly real customers and especially true enthusiasts? Sure there were some brokers, but they were simply selling spots on the waiting lists that still had a build option.

My car is a "negative" option car, and it is white. Just looks so good IMO.
