I find it interesting the retail estimate you received was so much lower, since I have yet to see any GT3 in that low 60s price range (and would probably buy one if I saw a reasonably clean example for that price).
exactly! e.g the dealers I all spoke to would only offer 80k for my 07 GT3 in trade in ... Carlsen (a local dealer) has a similar car to mine on the lot for $103k

of course it's been there apparently for 18 months ...

Yep, that's why I'm hoping Lief sell's his and it's the right color plus w/ the miles he might give me deal

Reasons to get the .2:
FASTER (more HP)
Lighter (no sunroof)
Wider *** and shoulders to accentuate the splendid frog like midriff
Nice carbon fiber seats that actually look like they might hold you in place
That new car smell
and finally because you can

Reasons to keep the .1:
Can't think of any

I was referring to the car but it's good to know you're staying fit and trim

Out of curiosity, does Porsche still put the giant yellow warning labels on the seatbacks if they are leather?

Maybe painted seat backs, maybe, I mean no one sits back there! But why not just spec the carbon sport buckets - like the Maritime one

well both of the backup cars havea lot of bling, one has a lot of leather and black painted stuff, the other has a lot of dev stitching ... one even has heated seats ...

which leads me to wonder if you can pull those and replace them with sports buckets, which should be the seat for a 3 ...

You messed up by posting it here. After you did, I even thought of trading in my 10 GT3 for it and called them.... but didnt do it.
