Default Looking for a 997.1 GT3

Non-RS (unless its an amazing deal)
No red, no yellow
No track mods, (preferably no mods at all)

Looking for a low mile (under 20k) super clean car for use as a daily driver. Please, please please no track-rats. I'm in the business and know one when I see one. Even if returned to stock...

I'm in Los Angeles and prefer to be contacted directly at maz@singervehicledesign.com

Thanks guys..

Maz

There is a very low milage orange one at herb chambers Porsche in Boston. Ring Michael Fernandes. He is the GM and is great to deal with.

cars.com ebay.com

etc....

they are out there..... narrow down how far you wanna travel and what color you want.

997.1 GT3 that has seen track can be undetectable to new owner due in part of how well built they are.....

Track Rats typically have faded rubbers on the piston boots of the callipers, tired calliper bolts (easily converted to studs) and calliper mounting threads that can be cross threaded from multiple change overs on the track or in shade tree back yard wrenching...

LSD can also be toast, clutch can be worn and transmission could have filings contamination.....
Shifter cables could also be worn and have more play then normal.

Other then that, it is solid as a rock as far as tub and power train are concerned.

Any of the above mentioned can be repaired or replaced which is never a bad thing to do in a 2007 model car....

in the world of 997.1s, dont overlook track toy cars..... they are not like track used cars of the past... they handle the wear n tear very well.

they can be priced right and come with nice extras.

There's a good few locally on Craigslist that have shown up in the past couple of weeks both So Cal and Norcal.... I'll keep my eyes open too.

Thanks guys.. Hey Sharkster, thought I'd let you know how much our little outfit likes you guys. We hope to see you in a couple months at Sears to shake-down the Öhlins setup.
