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

Thanks! I've driven a 997,1 turbo (manual) a few times (different car, I know, but as close as I've gotten) I've ridden in a 991,2 GT2 RS on the track (very impressive), and sat in a 991.2 GT3 in the showroom (I came with intent to buy, and they assured me they would be flexible in their asking price...once I got there they changed their minds...??? So no test drive)
This car will be a "replacement" for the NSX I sold. I drove that about 1000-1500 miles per year, but it has a good bit more room (I could actually get my hockey gear bag in the trunk!) for various life tasks. I just bought an E46 M3 track car, feeling as it would be much more affordable to beat up on the track, but I'm sure I'll get the gt3 out every now and then...who could resist?
I made a very reasonable offer considering the cost to get it back into "good-great" order. The seller has pretty much declined. I've asked him to return my deposit before contacting other interested parties if he is not in agreement with my offer, and he doesn't seem to be acting on that. I've heard from a few of you that he has reached out to you again about the car. No signs of my deposit....$1000. Not a great seller, and honestly, has made some pretty ***-like comments to me.
Mildly considering stretching the budget limit and picking up a997.2 GT3 RS at this point...Having a hard time justifying the price jump vs performance, but am guessing they will hold value better than a regular GT3

Always wanted an NSX but never scratched that itch. I have driven them, and they make you feel like you are a better driver than you are. The GT3 though not as slick is more fun in my opinion.
I hope you made your deposit with Paypal goods and services. Best of luck in your search. Maybe put a wanted ad up here and PCA.org
As to holding value better, I think you have to look at what you are paying vs selling later. RS prices have blown up so high. Of course, not a lot of regular GT3's either but if you are thinking of dollars and getting out later a regular GT3 may be the best option. A .2 GT3 is bad-***.

Well, the seller has now agreed to my offer of $94k I feel that puts me in the "fair" value range. Still not thrilled with the bodywork, but I suppose as a driver, it need not be perfect in every regard, and I can always have a reputable shop redo that particular quarter panel. Most of the smaller stuff I can tackle on my own...so might be worth it...

And even more drama. I asked for pictures of the "accident". He says he doesn't have them. I then asked for receipts for the repair. He states he has none. He won't even tell me the shop he worked with. Extremely sketchy seller....

too many red flags here. I’d walk unless you’re getting the car at a huge discount, which at $94K, you’re not.
