Yes he is an extremely nice guy. When the dealer said the 2 year service had to be done to get the CPO he offered to pay for it from his proceeds. I believe he wants a Ford GT (late model).

Excellent deal. I'm pretty pessimistic on prices (and generally find myself $5K below other people on estimating fair prices ... even when I'm the seller!) and think you've done very well to get a "no mile" 08 with CPO under $90K.

$135K for a '10 GT3 would have been a great GT3!

Meteor is apparently rare on GT3's, too -- looks great.

Thank you. My $45,000 difference to the 2010 was an approximation based on out the door with taxes. The new 2010 I had specced was $125,000 and I am in Los Angeles County so I was figuring about $140,000 out the door where this was $88,300 plus tax the difference is somewhare between $40,000 - $45,000 all things considered.

You can't go wrong with this car, like some other posts mentioned, once you drive a GT3 there is no other car like it, regardless of model year. Congratulations, all you have to do know is set up some track time to really understand what this car is all about.

We should pick a 3 day PSDS course when they have the PDK Turbos (hopefully spring next year? We can make it an all-out Rennlist event. Only one rule: nobody talks about colors and decals on the new RS! : )
