Took a trip up to Costa Mesa and Newport for some hangs with more friends, then drove the car back down south and shipped her off to the east coast.

Only thing in the plans for this car is to be driven and enjoyed.
Car looks amazing!!!

I bought it as a last hurrah before the arrival of my 3rd child, hoping it would make sense to keep it even with 3 kids. Well, now that kid is here and I find that I barely have time to sleep or shower, and seriously considering whether it makes sense to take up a spot in the garage for a car I won't be driving for a few years. Still in 'feeler' stages, will probably regret selling this, hence the hesitation I'm sure all the owners have felt when thinking about selling.

Details:
White on black, white wheels, full leather, red belts, red gauges
264xx miles
No overrevs in any range
clean carfax
coolant lines not pinned or welded
currently in shop for new water pump, thermostat, coolant overflow tank

asking 157k

I remember when this one was for sale last fall. The white wheels are super cool. Someone here should pick this up! @ryneodonnell this has your name on it if you haven't found one already

I honestly wasn't sure if the white wheels would show in person, but in real life they really pop! gives it a really unique look

I would normally say no to a black GT3 as these cars sit so low to the ground and can get peppered real fast. I'd say super no to one with 75,000 miles on it but this one has me eating those words. Those PCCB's look amazing and the paint is well, it looks like a car with 10,000 miles.

Completely agree. I had a Cayenne GTS in non metallic black and it looked incredible when clean/polished. Not a color I’d normally go for but this one looks awesome, hopefully someone here picks it up and drives it!

Love me a high mileage 997 GT3. These cars are extremely stout and there's nothing better than being able to put guilt free miles on a driver.

Something very sinister about a black 997.1 GT3, I prefer it over white!

Hmm too clean, indicates your seller is a pansy and doesn’t know how to drive

take that 726 Op Hrs Counter and divide into the mileage & figure out the average mph

I was initially confused too. But my (non expert) interpretation is that somebody revved into range 2 (also hitting range 1) one single, very brief moment, and then the car has continued on in its happy existence. Ready for you to purchase worry free since it happened a while ago!

. Yea I was just joking this report is a non-event and I’d look more at maintenance intervals, I don’t know how many owners it had but I would guess 3 and the 2nd owner is responsible for these over revs and it’s been babied since.
