Raudi- not accurate. Listed at 269 for a couple months, then 249 for a few months, then dropped to 223 and I bought it that day. It didn’t sit for more than a day at 223.

Over the moon at finally, after being a 40-year motorsport enthusiast, reaching my endgame car. Paul at Auto Kennel was absolutely the best. Huge thanks to K @Upscale Audio and D @shrp , you guys helped timing to help make this dream come true. I've been primarily a lurker here for the last decade in this priceless community, finding countless useful bits for my 996.2 c2. In hindsight, there must have been a reason I just days before had passed on another gt3, and missed one other. This car checks all my boxes. That Mezger sound is unlike anything I've ever been behind the wheel (or between my legs) of. I bought it to drive it. It'll probably never be as pristine as it is now, though I'm real picky. No garage queen here. I'd never sat in (much less driven) a gt3, but knew this was it for me, and have been following that 997 market for years. Couldn't be happier.

Same experience here. Had never sat in one but knew it would be exactly the right medicine. Sent funds, crossed my fingers, flew out, drove back and have been loving it ever since. Some 9,000 miles and 16 months later, I am genuinely happy that I didn't wait to see if the market would come my way. It's hard to put a number on a blast through the North Georgia mountains on a crisp fall day. Sorry/not sorry for removing a low-mile car from the pool, fellas.

Congratulations. Picking up cars with a son is the best. Have fun!

Congrats , did you manage to pick up the folding buckets also? Looks to have some well documented records and some welcomed maintenance and upgrades.


Also, where are you located. Come out for a run up to Newcombs as it just reopened.

@RAudi Driver Though very nice (and rare), the $20k folding buckets pushed the financial envelope too far, and I expected the sofa seats would be far more comfortable for multi-hour touring, and hoped for plenty of bolstering. I found them to be every bit of that on the drive home. Oh yeah, and figured way less complaining from my supportive wife when she's out with me....
