I actually ended up buying that controversial car...mia culpe. Feel free to flame me...I had a hard time with the morals but at the end of the day, the guy had to come way down in price to make the deal, so I felt that made it sort of alright. I spend a lot of time in Vancouver (in-laws are there) and figured I'd lay eyes on the car with no intention of buying it since I'd decided a .1 gt3 was what I wanted but had never even sat in one; went to see the car and it was beautiful. The guy actually seemed like a decent human being and he was super helpful and transparent with the sale and helped me get everything together so that I could drive it across the border/import it properly. I don't agree with him withholding the previous buyer's deposit and it's certainly not what I would have done, but I didn't feel like the car deserved to be punished and get sold to a dealer, etc. There was some deferred maintenance and some stuff I need to get right, but it's nice to finally be a 997 GT3 owner . Hopefully you all will still have me lol
Congrats on your new GT3! I’ve had to hold my nose when dealing with a seller before, but decided I liked the car enough to make the deal and it worked out. Seems like the same situation for you, wishing you many miles and smiles ahead.
I am a dealer and found the car at Manheim. It has OEM buckets in it yet and appears to have a CEL. They gave it a 5.0 out of 5.0 condition report. Something I rarely ever see. VIN: WP0AC299X7S793248
It runs through Manheim Nashville on 8/28
car had structural Damage IIRC the last time it sold at Manheim.5.0 CR I had to be bogus. I’d definitely wanna check it before bidding.
