Dig the white with white wheels. The first 997 GT3 I ever drove was back in 2008 and looked exactly like this one. Was a white .1 GT3 with white wheels and steel brakes.

This should be a good driver for someone. I think the accident will hold it back from its potential, but it also shows a decent amount of wear. Here's what I noticed at first glance:
Cup front lip
Wheels repainted in black
Appears to have clear bra, but at the leading edge of the bumper where the lip meets the film, I notice a lot of chipping, and some chipping in other spots
Left side of rear bumper has a crack or some paint chipping off of it, looks like it scraped on something, maybe coming out of a driveway
Lug bolts aren't the factory "GT" specific ones
Discoloration/chipping of the air inlets on rear lid
Interior appears in good condition with some scratching on the backs of the seats from the roll bar
Rennline track mats, aftermarket pedals
Not the correct GT3 shifter, while it's alcantara, it doesn't have the correct Volcano finish on the shift **** pattern
Pretty sure that center console has been refinished in some way. The factory finish doesn't look like that. This is to be expected given the factory, soft touch finish, tends to peel/scratch easily
BMC air filter (which is quite dirty)
Missing various fasteners in the front truck, not really sure how those go missing and why someone didn't replace them, that's super easy and cheap to fix
Side muffler delete
Front tub has definitely seen some scrapes

My post is simply to point out the things I'm noticing. I don't think most of these things are a big issue, but random things to factor into your price if you want to buy and then improve.

Good luck bidding everyone!

$250k seems a tad low. I'd probably say closer to $270k just based on miles. Now, where you may be able to get price down a bit is condition. Car seems to exhibit a decent amount of chipping, which I'd expect on a driven .2RS, as while these cars were getting film back in the day, it wasn't to the same level (as many panels and as full of coverage) as today. Also, just make sure you do your due diligence when dealing with any of these cars (get a PPI, reach out to members).

You got very lucky - that was an excellent car. Enjoy it.

There also was some mention in this thread, posts below, about there being a carfax blemish when a rat ate through a wiring harness. Looks like that has since been removed off the CarFax. One of the reasons I like this thread so much is the tracking of VINs over time.

I remember it being flipped thru West Coast Exotics several months ago, real quick sale.

Thanks for sharing! I do want to note that it does look to be in excellent condition. Pretty sure someone just installed a fresh shift **** too as it looks really mint. Makes me want to do mine (I think I will).

I inquired about this car when it was at San Francisco Sports Cars in 2018 or 2019. Besides that very minor blemish on the Carfax from the replacement wiring harness was a very nice car, but the PPF it had at the time was very old and was yellowed. Only reason this “damage” was on the Carfax was because the owner made the mistake of reporting it to the insurance company. Ultimately passed on the car. They were asking a measly in hindsight $150k at the time.

Already at $250k with 11 days to go! That’s some pretty aggressive bidding. Was expecting the final result to be $275k-$300k give or take. I find it mind blowing that some of these are about double what a comparable GT3 would go for.
