Default Help an air cooled brother out ???

So I found a 997.2 GT3 I would like to buy.
First, what else is important to get checked during a PPI besides DME ???
Next, what should one pay for a very clean, 12,000 mi., one owner, fairly high option (no PCCB) car ???
Maybe you guys already have a thread like this going somewhere.
Thanks.

This can't be happening. I thought only the gt guys wanted air cooled cars?

Is car local? If not what city. Get a req on a shop.

Not sure on price maybe 120.

Best of both worlds - NICE!

Usual PPI applies, any track use? Find a good shop that knows GT3's.

On the DME, two major parameters - over revs and the hours on the engine (to calculate average speed).

Cheers,

Mike

Use your eyes and hands all over the car inside and out to literally get a feel for it, road test then PPI, Carfax and buy, worry about the rest after.

$120k +/- $10-$15k would be my guess

It has not hit the open market yet so I'm safe for a while.
The ask is $129k so it looks like the price is Ok.

Thanks all.
