TL;DR
but in my buying experience for 20 years wasting money on cars, if u think it's below mkt. it's 90% a bad car.
if you paid above mkt, usually you are good.
b/c info is transparent.
if it's good and cheap, I prolly bought it before you saw it.
or Doug did
if you saw it not yet bought.... well.....

I love that it is a 3 owner car that is advertised as never abused.
Has the seller sat down with all 3 owners to discuss that it was babied? Ha ! ! !

" This car has never been redlined ever. "

.... and he is graciously letting it go from his "collection" after the loooong ownership period of,... 1.5 yrs.

trying to hard. If White Performance Engines is so good, the seller outta know better.

brazzers tells the story.

front bumper does not look like factory paint either,... & I'm sure lots of other tell-tales

  • 997.1 GT3 RS in Green, higher miles preferred, ok with minor paintwork or some track time

2010 GT3rs with some very odd history. Lamborghini of Palm Beach had it listed back in the day and this shows up:http://dirtyoldcars.com/2010-porsche...nd-palm-beach/

Possible theft or vandal recovery. Who changes door panels unless something is wrong or stolen? Seat belts as well. The latter issue with the belts is a biggie as referenced here not having the factory anchors.

after many many GT cars I found that

1. red line shift are fine. money shift no. redline up shift HIGHLY encouraged.
2. if you don't shift at redline I am sorry to inform you that you have never driven a GT3. you know, it' like you think u have a GF, but she never invites you in the door.... GT3 really is a terrible car until the last 500 rev. no matter how close you are to climax, until she comes, you have not had sex... it appears that many love dry humping... I supposed thats' fine too.
3. it's a car, drive it hard

I have well over 100 track days in my GT3RS, it has 50k miles, it was red lined EVERY time on track, if you aren't bouncing the limiter you aren't driving the car, it's had dozens of sets of tires on it, many brakes, axles, bearings, engine outs, clutches, it's had more than purchase price spent maintaining it, has patina for years, it has some range 1 revs because I fkd a 4-3 to 4-1 (caught it, but got some range 1), it still goes like a MFer and will humble all but the best drivers at the limit.

DOES THAT SCARE YOU GUYS????

Drive the **** out of these cars, because, you can't take it with you.

Not for sale. Dead mans car.
