great buy! Im in OC/WLA area. I never see GT3s on the road. Most are kept as garage queens. Drive that beauty in good health!

You got a great deal!
Seller obviously can afford to sell for the price minus commission ...I could not have!

Thanks guys. Would love to meet up with some fellow GT3 owners.
Intercity still hasn't assigned a driver/truck but I'm hoping they will by the end of the week. I assume it will take 7-10 days of transit so hopefully I'll have it in 2-3 weeks. The wait is killing me though.

I spoke with Matthew (the previous owner) on the phone yesterday and it was a pleasure. It looks like he has essentially sold me a pristine, almost new car and I couldn't be happier. The CPO is a nice touch of insurance as well.

First place I'll probably take it to is my clearbra guy, and after that to Cars n Coffee in Irvine which I go to often. I also want to do some HPDE and get some more instruction and seat time before I let it go all out on the track.

Post a note/PM once you get the car. Maybe can be convinced do CC in irvine. I like SCS better as stop by, say "hi" then go drive malibu canyons for 2 hours. OC roads not really good. Ortega is OK early, too crowded. Too many bikes.

Waiting sucks ;(

Intercity now says they might have a driver assigned by the end of next week. Initially they told me they thought they would have one assigned by the end if this week. Oh well.
At least the guys at Porsche Roslyn have been great and have said they'll be keeping it inside.

That's why I drove my .2GT3 home. Only cost me 3000 miles, 5 rock chips and few hundred bucks in gas. Can't win.

I was hoping Intercity would find a carrier going from NYC to Socal pretty easily but hasn't been the case.

If it was less than 1,000mi away I'd consider picking it up, but adding 3500mi to a car with only 3500 mi in one trip.........

Intercity is very good/careful, but in my experience very busy, so sometimes slow/late compared to original estimates... your mileage may vary...

Drive that thing!

Anyway I've used intercity a few times and while schedules can be hit or miss the way they treat the cars is top notch. Never had an issue and 2x the cars were early.
