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

Regarding the BAT orange RS. Seller says in paragraph two, along with the windshield that both “side sills” were replaced. Would that be the rocker sills? Wondering if so, paint work was done.

Side sills on an RS are plastic. So no paint work when replacing. But a paint meter on it is never a bad idea to check thickness of the car.

You might want want to re-read hf1's post and look at more relative data. The two orange 997.1 GT3R's he references having sold on BaT in the last six months appear to nicer than yours and don't have KPH speedometer.

The market is clearly softening on these cars. I'm curious to know why you're here defending your "old" car, didn't you sell it to the dealer or do you have some skin in the game?

You also contradict yourself, you state that the market is clearly softening on these cars yet you also point out that the two most recent Orange 997.1 RS sales on BaT were "nicer cars than yours", yet my car is already 4k higher than one of the cars and only 3k shy of the other with 1 day left before hammer drops.
I very clearly stated that I engaged Silver Arrow to sell my car earlier in this thread, obviously I have some skin in the game.
You are strangely critical of my car yet, yet complimentary on the other Orange 997.1 RS's that sold on BaT, even though one of them has a front lip that looks as though it has been chewed on by a small dog... owned by someone that was too cheap to replace a $300 part, I don't buy cars from sellers like that, maybe you do.

I won't bother responding to any more of your posts regarding the car, you clearly have skin in the game as well, perhaps you are shopping for a 997 GT3 and are hoping to get one for a song a deal, low brow tactic but good luck.
I've sold three GT cars on RL in the past, I never found myself defending those cars in this forum, and every one of those buyers were pleased with their respective purchases... this car will be no different.
I hope that anyone considering the car has appreciated the information I've shared here - Cheers!

I struggle to understand how sales data points from 7-8 months ago are somehow more 'relative' than sales data points form 4 months ago.

There is zero paintwork on the car, though you can certainly reach out to Silver Arrow asking for meter readings etc. The only reason the exterior plastic side sills were replaced is because they were pitted from rocks, replacement of the side sills was performed by Weissach when the coolant lines were pinned, the invoice shows the work.
I've sold three GT cars on RL in the past, I never found myself defending those cars in this forum, and every one of those buyers were pleased with their respective purchases... this car will be no different.

Remember that while it is important to identify things like a RMS leak, whether or not coolant lines have been pinned, a repainted front bumper, a chewed up front lip, these items should probably not prevent you from buying a car if you are planning to actually drive it. Jason's car appears to be a very nice one, but with or without a RMS leak, I would be buying it if I was in the market. An otherwise perfect car should not be avoided due to something this simple and I don't even think price should be adjusted accordingly for it with how common it is. Same with a front lip, it is easy enough to replace that.

In 2009 I passed on an as-new 150-ish msrp black/orange RS with 1500 miles that sat listed for $93k at the dealer for a while.
The present market sentiment (about all assets) feels more 2007, than 2009.

You literally have zero interest in buying the car, you post childish/incorrect comments here, the oil leak is noted on the Porsche PPI and is explained by the Porsche N/A memo, and we've already covered how the wear indicators work and how you don't understand how they are to be used, and yet you post this just now...

Seems like a strategy for you or a friend to get it for a song since you were looking to buy the other orange .1 RS
