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

225K plus 10% buyer premium (so 247K total for the buyer)
i was there thinking of buying it but car didn't have manuals, service books or window sticker. Absolutely nothing came with the car... Even second key was missing I think. But the car itself was great - I examined every inch of it and couldn't find a single problem.

Big money .1RS
1. Aftermarket wheels and factory wheels not included;
2. All factory decals had been removed;
3. Aftermarket side view mirrors, factory ones not included;
4. Driver seat bolster leather had been replaced.
Coupled with everything it was missing that you pointed out, someone paid all the money for this one.

Correct, there was not a "single" problem with it, there were multiple problems with it:
1. Aftermarket wheels and factory wheels not included;
2. All factory decals had been removed;
3. Aftermarket side view mirrors, factory ones not included;
4. Driver seat bolster leather had been replaced.

500 miles with all those issues? I would not expect the bolster would be replaced on a 500 miles car.

An auction becomes the ideal venue for a seller of a car that has been modified, doesn't have proper records and wouldn't stand up to a thorough PPI because these issues get glossed over by most auction buyers. In this particular case, the car was purchased by a telephone bidder, so who knows if that person ever saw the car in person, had it inspected by someone, or just relied upon the catalog and whatever the auction representative said about it.

totally missed #4 - how can you tell?

#1 and #3 is not an issue since it buyer could easily reverse to original (albeit at extra cost) but why do you think this car came with factory decals? i am pretty sure it didn't but would love to hear why you think it did. as far as I can tell out of 71 White '07 997.1 GT3 RS cars only 25 had "Side Stripes and Logo Dev Clr" so maybe this is one of 46 that didn't have option CNL?
totally missed #4 - how can you tell?

CNL Side Stripes and Logo Dev Clr CNR Rear Wing End-Plates Dev Clr CNZ Side Mirror in Deviating Color CRY 19" GT3 RS Wheel Deviating Clr
so it may not have originally had the side stripes/logo ... but it also did not originally have the rest of the black bits
my information is 'as is no warranty'

It looks like green now commands a $100k plus premium over orange:
https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0816-24...he-911-gt3-rs/ Sold $280k
https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0816-24...he-911-gt3-rs/ Sold $280k
Oh and it's not Viper Green. None of them were.

AFAICT .... and I have no dog in the fight .... this car DID NOT have the following options:
CNL Side Stripes and Logo Dev Clr CNR Rear Wing End-Plates Dev Clr CNZ Side Mirror in Deviating Color CRY 19" GT3 RS Wheel Deviating Clr
so it may not have originally had the side stripes/logo ... but it also did not originally have the rest of the black bits
