What a beautiful car.
Also, I can't believe that your car has not sold yet.

i feel the car is priced beyond well for the market, but the problem is the right eyes seeing the vehicle...

it's 110% my mistake, the first week (i assume when everyone looked and then never checked back) i had offers 100/105/108... i tried to obviously pursue the higher offers first and lost the lower offers...

Longshot: Carmax :-) Do they buy these?
I know its apples and oranges....My 535 sat for a few weeks with minimal activity even though I priced it well below the listed market prices. Carmax bought it for more than I was looking to get for it. 30 minute deal too.

As for the OP I think the mileage is the only thing holding up the sale.

the car is paid for, and my mclaren paperwork is "on hold" till it sells... i'm basically just chasing an extra parking spot and some tax credit on the new purchase... otherwise no real reason to sell or mark it down/trade in cheap.
i feel the mileage is the holdup too, yes i could have sold it easier had i not driven around the entire country in it... but i dont buy cars to stare at em... i put 8k miles on my ariel atom in the 3 months i owned it... most dont even have 2k miles on their 10 year old atoms.. LOL

Trade numbers I had on my 535i were 15% less than what carmax offered. They offered just a few K off retail, and better than KBB private party sale. Really. Again, I know its apples and oranges with these cars but if you have one near you it might be worth the 60 minutes.

And you know what ?
Cars are cars. I love driving. Hence i'm on this forum. Car's are a depreciating asset. Period. Next year something better and faster will be out there. I enjoy it while it still works, not saving it for some guy 50 years from now to enjoy it more then i did.

CarMax was stupid low on my GTS, like $10K less than the dealer wanted to pay to buy it back. CarMax handed me their offer, I looked at it, laughed, handed it back and said no thanks and waited for the right no-haggle buyer who knew what he wanted, saw that the car was as advertised and paid my asking price. Many on RL questioned the mileage and the price. If you can afford to wait, then I say wait, there will always be a buyer for your car.
Also, I find that on RL, non-buyers argue that mileage is not an issue, but time after time we see people buying the low mileage cars. My first reaction to the OP's GT3 was, nice car! Good (not great) price. Then when I saw the miles I thought, wow, that's high miles on a GT3 (because so few are actually driven very much). All of the "bullet proof" blah, blah, blah is no match for the low miles culture I find among most buyers. Sure, for $10K less the car might attract more attention, but the number of actual cash in hand ready to pull the trigger buyers for any of these high priced specialty 911's is very, very small. You're looking for a needle in a haystack. Be patient, unless you are prepared to "give it away."

You may want to hang on to the GT3 a bit longer.
I took a 12c for a test drive yesterday and was more than happy to drive my GT3 home. For me, the throttle response, steering and handling were better in the GT3. Throttle response WAY better. The transmission is not as good as the PDK in my Cayman. Even in track mode it seemed slow. Maybe they are right - there is no substitute. Although I'll keep looking.
