I’m surprised the 07 at Autokennel is still on the market with how quickly others have recently sold on RL. Personally, Speed Yellow and Guards Red would be my primary choices for a GT3, although I like my Meteor Grey.

It’s a few shy of 40k.

everyone likes to talk about prices. But when was the last a private or dealer posted the actual sale? Hmm…. We’ll see where the floor is in August up in Monty. BAT and PCar are up/down. Depends on time of day and whose there. Monty will have 4 of largest auctioneers out.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro capitalist. I wish I had one of each model of 993 up through the 997. I’m happy that these cars are flying off the shelf. But let’s be honest, for every 5 that sell, 4 will be stored in a garage with less than 1k a year driven. This forum and its participants are a very, very small subset. Even within here there are few that pass 2k a year. I’ll snag a sub 20k RS within the next 3yrs. Yes. 50/50 if its more/less than current price offerings. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy some free cash to chase the next Wall Street favorite and real estate while the current owner keeps it maintained/tucked away safely.

Yea and they dropped the price to $111k...but a few months ago I had a deal on a MUCH nicer car for $106k and passed. And they really need to fix the sports chrono clock. I mean...how do the clock hands fall off? It can be replaced for $500 which is expensive BUT seeing broken hands bouncing around would be a buzzkill. Hard to say what it looks like in person. Things can look real good in pictures.

Driving these cars 1000 miles in a year is like doing it with a Victoria Secret model a handful of times a year. What a shame. YOLO

I don’t mind the sunroof. It sort of is what it is. First time I messed with one was at Autobahn CC South. Local shop put on a private event and a gent and I swapped cars. He took my Evo out and I his GT3. Two great cars in their own right. Fun times. Just wish it had the dynamic mounts like the later varieties. Everything but the last 1/3 of straights could be kept up in the Evo. At the time, I did have a bit of sly look at the gt3. It was far harder to drive, even with the PASM as a newb. Wish I still had the Evo and three years later the same GT3 I first experienced (guy sold it while I was working on the Bering Sea). Off track, but fun little story that came to mind oddly.

I can relate…. I surmise the VS model IS the reason for sub 1k yearly outing.

^ that car I believe is the owner’s car. I remember around 2014 when I was shopping for an RS he had that for sale as well. I spoke to the owner but didn’t get a good vibe on it. Don’t have more details. Could be a great car.

It has the stock wheels and exhaust too. I don't get it either. Esp since it just got a new clutch 200 miles ago and I assume while they were in there they took a look around.


I don't get it.

That place is a joke, that’s why.

that car and the yellow one they listed have been on there for awhile now. I remember reaching out to them way back in the day about the white one. Never heard a response. I hear that dealer is pretty eh. Don’t usually like to talk badly about dealers.

is it just online as a teaser? Looks like a fantastic deal, especially in this market.
