Default Thoughts of these 997.1 GT3RS

So I have been looking on and off at the .1 GT3RS and now I am tempted as prices are in the $90's. Found a couple of cars:

I am looking for a low mileage wild color combo.

wild color combo means Green or Orange! Good luck with the search.

I wanted a green .1 RS myself but very difficult to find one with low miles and in good condition.

Nice to see these things still trading in the $90's....

Orange is just awesome in person.
Green has the "wow" factor

black, white and silver are nice too, but normal when compared to the jelly beans....

I love mine.

good luck with you search.

All nice cars.
1st one has GMG exhaust & OEM rollcage - slight mods
2nd one has most mods out of three - nice GMG stuff
3rd one appears most stock & cleanest example, but that could just be a great detailer.
If you're not too far from the N. Miami dealership go see it in person; the black/orange cars look very unique in the flesh.

Good luck!

The one without stickers is not being represented correctly. The car is NOT CPO'd unless they are just marketing it for a private individual. The CPO will only transfer in a private party to private party sale. The only two ways to get a CPO are from a Porsche dealer with them certifying it and the other from a private individual that you buy the car from that has CPO remaining.

I thought once a car is CPO it is good until warranty expires, no matter who owns it? I see alot of CPO cars listed by dealers, that are not the issuing CPO dealer.

Nope. Once the private individual's car is owned by ANYBODY but a private party (and no dealer ownership as a pass-through, auction, etc), the CPO becomes void. Heck, even the Porsche dealer can't transfer it....it has to re-certify it if you want CPO. So, only 2 ways to it....(1) new CPO from Porsche dealer; or (2) remaining CPO from private party if you are a private party purchasing.


FYI from Porsche:

Terms and Conditions:
Once the covered vehicle is traded or sold to any non-authorized dealer or commercial broker, this warranty is void.

Depends on what you want. If want a track car maybe number 2. Otherwise if mix number 1 or if street only number 3. I like number one as I like all of that blingy crap on the inside. My RS has the orange stitching on the inside and everyone knows that makes it faster and handle better. Seriously though do PPI and get whichever ones really trips your trigger.

First one I'd be nervous about. Other two look nice.
Price is right too!

I have the same combo

The links must be broken - all I see are black cars, not a 'wild color combo'.

Just making sure you notice a few things.

Car in Houston is missing the front bumper orange sticker/stripe, and the car in Miami has the orange stickers installed incorrectly as the front bumper sticker is on the rear bumper and vice versa.

I have same combo as well and love black w/orange.
