I’m planning on selling my 997.2 gt3rs. 28.8k miles. Clean car with no paint work except front bumper respray. Car has been tracked but dme is good. Grey black with steel rotors and good fal. Still thinking about pricing. If anyone is interested, please feel free to dm me. Torn between keeping it and selling it. Had it for 5 years and the car has been tracked by both me and the previous owner. Both of us conservative doctors so we are slow but hey, we had lots of fun in the car. Car is near perfect cosmetically and mechanically all maintenance up to date. These cars are just amazing. Would love to hear your thoughts guys.
here’s the link:

918 Fixed buckets in a 991.2 GT3, I prefer those all days over the standard seats.
997 GT2 folding buckets in a 997 GT3, I prefer standard seats all day.
As I've mentioned, this has to do with the height of the seat. 997 GT2 folding buckets just sit too high. I'll likely always have the standard 2 way sport seats in my 997 GT3. They sit low and for how I drive are perfect.

Slightly off topic but I am noticing loads of 991 GT3 for sale and they are not really moving, but 997s are selling like hot cakes even with these prices we are seeing. Is the new 992 having this effect on the market?

A lot of people are early trading their 991 GT3's on 992's at our Porsche store right now.

I predict that 2014 and 2015 model years 991 GT3s will flood the markets once their 10 years engine warranty expires.

2191 were brought to the US, so I still don't consider it a high production car. I think some will come to market once the engine warranty expires, but I also see quite a few of 996/986 and 997.1/987.1 Carrera's/Boxster's/Cayman's driving around, with people that probably don't know or don't care about the engine issues those cars have (bore scoring and IMS bearing's). For those that say those cars don't have engine issues, our family experienced a Boxster that was 4 years old with 20k miles when we bought it have an IMS bearing go when the car was 6 years old around 30k miles. Personally, I would not buy a 991.1 GT3 due to the engine issues. Some will say the 997 GT3's engine has issues (coolant lines), but that is something that will not cause the engine to need a full rebuild/replacement as long as you turn off the engine prior to it overheating. Even better, do the lines ahead of time.
Obviously, who knows what will happen to them going forward though. I still think they're great cars, but when I was buying my 997.1 GT3, I wanted a manual, I wanted a 997, I wanted a more analog driving experience and on top of that, 991.1 GT3's (for a good one) were still $10-20k+ more than a 997.1 GT3.

PDK only. Engine issues. Speculation regarding the analog driving experience of the 997 GT3 and what values will do in the future (unfortunately, which I say because it's turned into a financial conversation and not a which car is best conversation). 991.1 is also in a strange spot, it's not new, it's not old. The 991.2 GT3 is a better car (obviously like $60k more) and the 997 GT3 delivers a more analog driving experience, when comparing these cars to the 991.1 GT3.

I went through 991.1 / 981 ownership thinking they would be better but I wound up back here. I think in the long term, other current platform owners will as well.

So, what's the deal with the 2007 GR GT3 sitting at the dealer in Texas for so long? Am I missing something aside from peeling climate controls, chunk out of the drivers rear tire and drivers seat bolster wear?

I wouldn't assume it's any more "beaten" than other apparently nice condition dealer vehicles out there, only that that dealer is moronic for not fixing the really simple and obvious issues that all other dealers would have before listing. Does that make that dealer more appealing due to their 'honest' presentation of the vehicle as received, or less appealing as they're not in the least bit smart, so may have accepted a questionable vehicle?
I was told it was one of the owers vehicles for a while. He's not interested in negotiating on price.

He knows what he has. I had the same issue with a dealership that had one but it was the owner’s personal toy. I kept giving him offers and he never lowered it. These cars are not regular dealership inventories that depreciates. Someone eventually will come and give him what he wants. He will probably get more as these cars continue to appreciate.
