I just did a deal on this car, it is done subject to a PPI.

I agree that there are deals around that make the price on this one seem high, but this car has mods that I would have done anyway. The end of the day, I could argue that I paid market on this car, and 20 cents on the dollar for the mods. In my mind a good deal, and I will certainly enjoy this car to the extent that it is meant to be, and in my mind, hard to but a value on that.

Excellent, Edward! I know you'll treat it "right".

Thanks Pissed, I am sure this car will be incredible. I don't expect to see this car for at least a few weeks, as it has to come across the border. I will need to be a regular street and track toy.

Thanks, I had a line on another one that was offered to me in that range. I liked the price, but had 3 times the milage, none of the $ mods, and an off on the track.

This one seems to be unmolested....for now

Thanks Buddy, you know you were the driving force behind this one. Doug at Switch owes you big time! Now, maybe.....big maybe, I can keep up with you on the track.

I have no doubt that you will keep up :-)

Doug has treated my friends well and his business is largely word of mouth - I have not interacted with him but would... Not a fan boy or anything but straight shooting is appreciated... I got the same straight shooting from RAC on my car from Jonathan.

And yes, Doug owes me ;-)

I am thrilled for you

I think you will be very happy with your decision

I bought a trailer from Doug last winter and almost bought another one this summer from him. The transaction was very easy and he busted his nut trying to get me transport out to Seattle from Ohio.

My guess on why this one sat for so long is that 99% of GT3 owners use them for coffee runs and work commutes and the cupholders might have been removed in the mod process

Maybe, but they sure don't make Latte's like your R8 does

07 GT3's are going for Low 70's to mid 80's depending on miles, condition, ect.

07 GT3's in the 60's ? might have been a few, but thats not going to be market on a 07 or 08.

I check plenty of sites about 3 times a week, have not seen any under 70K. I think you'll find a private seller needing to dump his GT3 , and score a good deal now and then, but those deals are few and far between.

That is exactly what I found, this one was on the high end of the market, but regardless of the mods, it is a low milage, clean car.
