Default FS: 07 White GT3

Much as it pains me, I have decided to let my '07 GT3 go to a new home. Here are the details:

Carrara White exterior
Black leather seats
Red seat belts
Clear side markers
Bi-Xenon package
Porsche crest in headrests
Black/white/red GT3 Lloyd's mats
39K miles
MSRP $108K
Asking $73.9K

I purchased her two years ago from my local dealer. Prior owner was equally meticulous about his cars. Factory warranty covers her through 11/31/10, CPO through 12/1/12. New Michelin PS2's fitted and balanced in Jan-10. 40K mile service just completed at local dealer.

No track time, accidents, body work, issues. The front spoiler is scraped and should be replaced soon. Approx cost: $150-300.

First dibs to RL'ers. I will keep her posted here for the next 2 weeks or so.

PM me w/any questions. Best...

Mikey

Thanks, TCS...I agree re: the colors and options. And, I tried to set a realistic (though depressing) price. Hopefully she will go to a new owner who will thrash her the way she deserves to be thrashed

The 3 is a tough act to follow. I am considering going old school for a while, possibly with a 993TT, 930T, or even an E-type or E30 M3. Stay tuned...

i do 993TT, price stablize
930T is a beast, definitely an acquired taste.
V12 E type overated
6 pot E type, early ones, NICE. but you do know how to fix them rigt.
E30M3 i love them. but they are getting hi in mileage and the true race motor is more expensive to rebuilt than cup car motors

but all are great cars, you got taste

Agreed on all counts. Of these, if you've had any of them already, then try a different item on the menu. The pick of the bunch is the 993 Turbo or 993 C4S -- both marvelous.

A 6 cylinder E type is a lot of fun to drive -- rather expensive to keep in decent condition, not that I've owned one -- and a good car to learn to drive well. Lots of weight, smooth, sonorous engine, demanding gearbox, no brakes, no traction, exemplary agility, feel and feedback . : )

Having just seen a pristine, untouched 4400 mile '88 turbo on Hwy 280 at speed and at Santana Row up close and personal (easily stole the show from us "checkbook drivers" with new 997's!) I have say, I did some looking around for a mechanically sound '89 turbo. ("A fool and his money are soon partying.") Hard to say what's real and what's imagined about the torsion bar cars, but as Moot puts it -- "an acquired taste." I've done the suspension and had a lot of setup driving time in a modified '88 turbo (completely rebuilt with a precision turbo and Ruf bits, bigger intercooler, rebuilt transaxle) but no track time, for sure, it's a unique vehicle in the history of the 911 and I'm more than a little curious to jump in the time machine and drive an authentic example -- not a time capsule, collector car, but one that retains all the good and bad of that era of 930.

Thanks, Mooty. I am seriously tempted by the 993TT though I've never been one for AWD or turbos in the past. Perhaps a 993 C2S.

The Jag? Hmmm...probably my first childhood dream car. BRG with biscuit interior. And, I'm with you, only the early series FHC's will do. I have a local mechanic who's drooling at the thought. Can't imagine why.

Have always liked the E30 M3's, and I'm taking a bit of a bet that they may even appreciate in coming years. Yes, lower mileage, good condition examples are getting tougher to find. I'd love to find one where the prior owner has added all the Evo mods to get close to the editions we never got here in the States.

Stay tuned, my mind changes every few hours.

Thanks, Carrera. Hadn't considered the C4S...should I? As stated in the above, I have always been a RWD guy.

And you're probably right about the E and the 930...unless you're a skilled mechanic or DIY (neither here), probably better to admire from afar. Hey, my first car out of college was a Triumph TR6. You'd think I would have leaned my lesson!

I could highly recommend the C2S ... it was my 1st 911

Agree on the AWD thang...
You can always convert to 2WD. Much better IMO

Nice GT3! GLWS

Thanks, Larry. I will add that to the list. There is a local dealer offering a black on black "factory wide body" C2S with <70K miles for $44K. That's nearly 993TT territory. That seems like a crazy premium even for the nicest one on the planet.
