Something wrong with this one? 90 minutes to go and still hanging in the 90s. Yeah, it's high miles and in Canada, but doesn't seem to be getting much attention.

Not a “collector quality” example and won’t sell for top dollar which tends to attract the most attention. Canadian spec cars tend to bring less and on top of that this one has higher miles. However, this could be a really good opportunity for an enthusiast (maybe on here…) to get a solid .2 GT3 at a really good price.

That's what I was thinking

I mean it has the Canada 'curse' and mileage working against it, but it really does look great! I wish people didn't get so worked up about mileage, but the flip of that is that I do hope someone gets a great deal.

Sorry to get off topic but did Porsche really have the ***** to put the 4.0 from the Gt3 into the gt4 rs? I just watched a video and holy crap that has a Gt3 howl.

I would feel pretty disappointed if I paid a hefty ADM for an incoming 718 GT4 and I just saw the GT4 RS with the GT3 4.0 motor.

Are there any concerns for buying a high milage one like the one above with 69K km? I am fine with 20 or even 30 but I wonder if something like that would bring issues.

I messaged him last week, he is a long time Rennlist member. Just a regular guy who has played out his track days and is now passing it on, more than one of us in this channel is bidding on it. Sneaky bunch we are...

I most likely wont try and overbid because in the US we still have to pay the 3% import tax + the extra transport fees etc and I know there are a few guys from CA on here who 'need' it

No. Maintenance is key.

Looks to be a killer deal. I'd guess it closes at $115-$120. Keep maintaining it and drive until the world runs out of petrol.

lol I bowed out... we just need to take our best guess on selling price and add 10% every week that goes by.

$136k with fees for a 43k mile track car which seems to have been well cared for. Seems like a deal in this market.

Plus 3% import fee, so 140k.

I saw your post about him being a forum member. I have been lurking to get into a .2 GT3 but no luck with getting a barn find. Ultimately bowed out of this bid too. Currently in a 996tt and patiently waiting.
