just want to point out in case anyone is interested in this, it is a ROW car so cannot be imported to the US for another 9 years

I actually went and looked at this car last week as I have a car addiction and it was very close to me.

For 20k miles....the condition of the paint on this car is truly astonishing how bad it was. I don't even ppf my cars for the most part, and I was amazed just how bad the condition was. I'm talking the ROOF was peppered (among many other spots)....how da fak is the roof peppered lol

The radiators in front were also beat to shtt from rocks

It has the anchors for harnesses on the floorboards of the driver and passenger seat and you can see the roll cage was removed, as the carpet is cut in the place there used to be one. It was 1000% a track rat at some point.

The shifter plastic piece actually had a chip out of it...

I just came away with the fact, as a track rat myself, and like 50 days on my m4 that has almost 3x the miles and is my 3rd extra car beater I only use when I need 3-4 seats.....MY CAR is in 10x better shape than this thing that only has 20k miles somehow...which can't be a good sign.

I'm sure whoever buys it will love it, but oh man was it rough.

Edit: even the plastic piece on the passenger side that runs right in front of the rear wheel, was warped and messed up....I don't know how you possibly mess that piece up outside an off track/off road kind of incident. ALSO the tires were 12 years old, and cracked so it seems like it was a heavy track rat for the first 7-8 years and has sat for a decade. as you can see the last owner #4 got it 11 years ago, drove it the first 6 years for about 2k miles where it hit about 20k miles in 2019, and it literally has not been driven in 5 years since

Looks to be a nicely optioned 4k mile white/red 7.2 RS listed today on BAT. Originally a Canada market car but imported and registered in US: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...911-gt3-rs-20/

Very difficult to find a good car that isn't priced into the stratosphere. I looked at tons of them ... many lived hard lives early on and it shows, even the ones with seemingly low mileage. that said, looks like it's sale pending now.

looks like a nice example. should've sourced factory wheels for it prior to sale IMO. let's see how it does.

I believe the car you've linked here (for sale at Issimi) is different than the one welikethetrack is referencing (for sale at ilusso). Confusing since the dealer names are similar and both cars have ~20k miles.

I met @ilko in person, he is a special Guy!

He inspired me to start the very similar thread in the 996 GT3 forum which I take pride in was made a Sticky way back when :-)
