Default WTB: 997.2 Red GT3

Looking for a 997.2 GT3, specifically in guards red - I am partial to that color. I'm looking at a budget up to $100K - track is okay so long as maintenance was stringent.

I was unfortunately screwed over by Porsche of Delaware, had a deal with an agreed upon price slightly below asking but another buyer swooped with the asking price and they pulled the rug from under me.

Feel free to PM me.

Sorry to hear. I know the feeling too well.

I had a deal on a 4.0. Drove 500 miles round trip to meet the owner. We had dinner and had a mutual commitment along with a firm handshake. Long story short, he ditches me and it's now at Marshall Goldman. Incredible considering he insisted he wanted it to go to an enthusiast and not a dealer. Thanks G*****o for screwing me over!

Serge944 was trying to sell his recently. Not sure if it sold or not but meets your criteria other than its on the wrong coast. I'd reach out to him to see if its still available.

Wow that's terrible. Guess some people don't have any sense of doing what's right.

That's why you deal with good reputable private party sellers instead of stealerships.

Hard when the private party guys are not selling what you are looking for.

Doubt it - I would have found it - but given that's its an RS its probably out of my price range.
