Anyone have any further info on this car:

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...modelCode1=911

Seems underpriced compared to the rest of the cars available on market even considering the mileage?

Thanks,
Samir

And there's this one which has been for sale for a couple years now.

Where the ad says "Original - no mods", he is obviously forgetting to mention the fact that the car used to be Guards Red. He had it repainted after delivery.
This link is still active at $105k.
https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/733391544/overview/?aff=alerts&emc=alerts&smtrctid=838060118
And is 'for sale' on autotrader for $99k
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=468135699

A dealer in TN is selling the same car for $117,512. (plus $499 dealer fee)
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=484051144
https://www.wholesaleinc.com/invento...ac2a93as783289

So hilariously, the same car is for sale on autotrader for $99k and $117k. Clearly the latter being the current state of the situation with a safe assumption that it was bought at or below $99k and is trying to be flipped by Wholesale Inc. Which is the friendliest, warmest dealer name ever btw, /s

Looks like a nice color combo but what’s the real story with this car.
Also FWIW that car was originally delivered with sofa seats.

you sure?

Options say Sport Buckets...
And addressing original post... nothing says decal delete here
Def has 4.0 side mirrors and shifter boot.
Also strangely the flag decal, wheels and model decal are white gold met but the GT3RS rear fender and front fender script are in silver.
Also, the b pillar belt outlets are no longer carrara white.. that's weird.

My bad. I glanced at the option sheet quickly. The original sport buckets had the seat belt passage painted, but were removed from the car shortly after delivery, as Champion Porsche had the car for sale with less than 1k miles and it had the sofa seats in the car, as well as a black leather steering wheel, shift ****, e-brake handle, and white painted mirrors and the decals removed.
Car was originally ordered with the white-gold graphics, so the dealer who has it now put it back as close to stock as it's been since it was new, but not all the way. Somebody dropped a boatload of $$ on this car at Champion right after delivery.

I thought Doug's (@switchcars) interview on VinWiki this morning was excellent and that those watching this thread might enjoy.

Not sure if anyone has chimed in about this one. I checked it out and its a bit of a mixed bag.
  • Some nice aftermarket goodies - but no stock parts available
  • Bought at auction by dealer (which seems odd for a GT3)
  • Zero history of maintenance
  • Third gear is unusually difficult to get in to
  • A lot of track rash/ scratches
  • Coolant lines are not pinned
  • Traction Control Error light flashing
  • 24K mile service doesn't appear to have been done
  • Needs rear tires (screw in rear tire - not patchable....and both are worn enough to replace)
  • Car rides very, very firm and has "nervous" handling characteristics on the street (likely a good track set up, though)
The car presents "OK". It may be a good track day car once brought current on maintenance and once the other issues are addressed. Dealership's reputation is inconsistent.
