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

Have you guys seen the disastrous ending to this black 9k mile GT3 auction? The peanut gallery was screaming for undercarriage pics so the seller went to a shop to take pictures and on the way, got rear-ended by an uninsured driver. Looks like bumper, quarter, and suspension damage.

I don't feel it's that minor an accident. Unless my eye's are playing tricks on me that looks like an abnormal amount of rear toe in, which may explain the high repair cost.

the buckets arn't spec, if they removed them and lowered the price $5k they would get what they want. Also removing J-hooks are always a good idea if you dont want ppl to think its been tracked

Minor accidents like this are the worst... I've always wondered what Hagerty does here. He says its $24k fix, but then another $10k off his resell.... in an RS thats more like 50k. Its sad because there is very little to the rear bumper... the aluminum bracket is easily replaced and so is the muffler/heatshield/bumper itself.

The suspension components on these cars are easily bent when force is applied in a direction they were not designed for. They are easily swapped out. That impact is very minor. I bet a new control arm, thrust arm. possibly toe arm and alignment would have that car back to square.
