Don’t know if the original seats and wheels come with the car. Since there are no photos of them I assume they don’t. Not a huge fan of the personalization bits the previous owner did.

The only thing that really bothers me is the yellow calipers, big fail by the PO.

But the Yellow Calipers arn't OEM build, so the wheels and calipers can easily put back to stock, I think the seats are the biggest risk of not finding easily... wheels pop up here a few times a year so I wouldn't be worried.

That color pops and is a nice differentiator. I actually like the new wheels, but the seats are puzzling.

Redoing calipers is a time consuming process and renders the car useless while its being done. Its much more of a PITA than wheels or seats to swap was my point there, should have clarified.

Yes. So petty. The dentist said it was in storage with a bunch of crap that he didn't care about, and that he was going to let it go. I had to pay the bill or half or something.
It turned out the window sticker was still at the dealer and Joe Isringhausen sent it to me. Of course I found this out later. Even they said he was a piece of work.
I was pissed at the time, until the value of the car started to go up $2500 a month. I was so annoyed I had to bounce it off you guys.

That will surely get his goat! Better yet a phone call so you can hear him cringe about the appreciation it's enjoyed.

If it's your car you're selling then no $225k is not too much. If your'e buying then yes, it's a bit high.

Just LOL at putting together a bunch of hype videos with PTS wall art and all the other b.s. and not spend the money on the actual car to make sure it's 100% when you run it at auction. Should still bring big money but imagine if the car was perfectly represented with all the correct OEM parts back on. Nonetheless, for someone looking to buy a PeeTS 997 GT3, chances of finding a better one are slim.
edit: wow - those seats are atrocious.

The car is poorly represented as-is IMO. The seller had plenty of time to put the calipers back to stock/red and source some OEM wheels and seats. It's not that time consuming to R&R and powdercoat calipers.

I was so excited to look over this PTS 997.2 GT3 tonight on the bringatrailer link. When I opened the link however, I was immediately turned off by the wheels and personalization touches. It's just too much. Such a shame as I really want a blue 997.2 GT3.
