The 997 GT3/RS Cars For Sale Thread...

You know what they say? Lazy owner, car suffers. I'd be wary on deferred maintenance also. That rear GT3 script is not placed correctly and looks to be plastidipped. Also looks to have been partially stored outside. Hope he doesn't own dogs too.

This car looks like a hot mess, regardless of its milage. the scaling and corrosion on the engine case and in the engine bay is a red flag to me aswell, as these cars had a wax coating applied to the engine and suspension components that turn brown over time. this car does not have it and I'm afraid it was stored outside for prolonged periods of time or worse driven on salt-covered roads.
Just goes to show you that Milage doesnt always correlate with condition.

Nothing says GT3 like a nutmeg Yankee Candle air freshener.
Nothing says I don’t really give a f@ck like missing fasteners.

The presentation on this car is bad. Obviously the seller didn’t pay extra to have the photos professionally taken as the lighting and background are terrible. Also looks to have been taken with their phone and don’t think the car was even detailed. Seller could be leaving thousands on the table or result in a no sale because of this poor presentation.
The door handle color looks ok to me, but the photos aren’t good so not 100% sure.

A friend of mine and I just got his Cayman R on BAT and tried to make it where people wouldn't even need to ask questions about the car. I think 200+ photos, minimum, along with a DME and paint meter readings are a must. We rented a Durametric off eBay for $40 and I have a paint meter, even then you can find a paint meter for $150-200 that will be good enough for an auction. So you're talking about maybe $200 in cost to get thousands more on the sale.

It's really hard to tell. I think it is just photography as pic 1 doesn't look right in terms of gaps but then pic 15 does. Then in pic 1 fender looks darker than the door and pic 15, the door looks darker than the fender. I'd want to see this one in person before bidding.
I'd be surprised if this one meets reserve or if it does, it's going to be one of the lower 997 GT3 results. Seller replied that there's no DME and he won't be able to get one and that paint meter readings aren't available. For Porsche guys spending over $100k on a car, those are going to be musts. The underside has definitely seen salt.

All fair game when it comes to Amazon. They have a department monitoring customer returns. If you seriously abuse it, as many in the low budget entertainment industry do, they will ban you from returning on Amazon. I've got friends that can't return there anymore. Super low budgets with high expectations from these unrealistic production companies and the fall guy ends up being the art director, designer or decorator.

Its crazy the change in perception of these cars and/ or just the growing audience. When I first lusted for a gt3 back in 2016 and started planning for one (a 5 year plan), I thought I'd be spending around 85-90 tops for a really nice example and wasn't even concerned about scarcity. Life/ the world is funny like that.

Yes, my first one was when an acquaintance was trying to sell it as he got into road bicycles and never drove it, It had the same miles, 25k as this gray one and my price was in the 60's. It had some dings in it from his kids in the garage but nothing my PDR guy couldn't fix. It was a city driver and I cleaned her up real nice.

Before I got my .1, every few months I’d always be looking for ‘what else is out there.’ My GT has helped stop that car buying addiction. Now I can’t stop spending money on it….

100% clearly this is a very poor listing.
hopefully he has set a realistic reserve.
everything has its price and will find its level.
I’m sure the owner is very busy and has lost interest in this car a long time ago.
It’s not beyond saving by any means but needs to have realistic expectations as regard sale price
