I would appreciate hearing thoughts on what I've found, not sure how to take all the views and no comments...flying out Friday to inspect and possibly drive home.

Sincerely,
Nervous first time Porsche buyer.

Thanks in advance.

Get a PPI from a reputable shop that knows GT3s. That's about the best you'll get unless someone on here knows that exact car.

As mentioned, get a full PPI from a reputable Porsche dealer and make sure you check all the fluids before going on a 700 mile drive.

A google search using the VIN turned up several ads...

The car was offered for sale with just 13288 miles, then with 14011 miles (for $79991 and in Knoxville) and then with 15,722 miles

Seems to have been for sale for some time ( last ad in the search shows the car was for sale in New Jersey) with no takers and in the mean time the miles have accumulated... Hope not all test drive miles...

Top ad in the search has the car now being offered for sale in Palm Beach. Car gets around... but doesn't stay sold, at least for long.

Wonder why?

Hi, I have a white 2008 GT3 with extras and a GT3RS rear wing you might like can we talk? Mileage is 17834. My number is 217 351-2662. I can email you the information and pictures to see if you might have interest. It has no over revs in any range and can provide any PEWIS documentation you wish. I work on these cars everyday and own my own business. www.ricksautocu.com Thanks, Rick

What is your asking price and where are you located?

Really wish I had a heroin addiction instead of a P-car addiction, It would be a lot cheaper! Is the 997 GT3 experience what you'd hoped it would be?

BTW, a 2007 white with black wheels would be ideal. Ready to part with yours?

It has been my all-time favorite car BY FAR! It makes me smile every time I'm around it or in it.

I'd be ready to sell mine if I knew what I wanted next. I'd like a .2RS but the money's pretty high on those at the moment. Other than that I can't think of a suitable replacement that's a big enough leap to let go of a car I know so well.

My 2002 996 cab will be available once I find the right 997.1 GT3. I suggest you go old school and hop in that. A momentum car does wonders for driver development. I'd be willing trade ...
