Quick question: I have a guards red 2007 GT3 that I need to post up for sale. but it is a car with a little bit of history and 60k miles. Would this thread be the right place to post up the details and see about establishing a price? Or is there another thread that is not strictly a "for sale" thread but focuses more on discussion of prices and values. I don't want to overprice nor underprice it, but establish a fair price given today's market. If this is the place then I'll post here. Otherwise I'll post on another thread and when ready to post for sale then post here
Thanks

Just under 27k miles, PCCB, adaptive sport seats, and full leather with deviated yellow stitching on the seats only. $132k original MSRP. No price or current pictures listed.
car is a 2007 in guards red. my understanding is only 62 guards red were produced. highly optioned car as per build sheet
I'll get the bad out of the way first.
previous owner had an off and broke the wheel carriers/knuckles. trying to be slick he had the insurance total the car and bought it back so it now has a rebuilt title. i have pics of this incident. this repair consisted of front suspension components and bumper cover. Still not sure why an insurance would agree to total it but they did.
I also had a little incident which required replacement of bumper cover, fender, headlight and radiator pod. I have pics of this also. Since red is hard to match I had the entire car repainted. they did a great job and the car looks fantastic.
No frame damage occurred in either incident
My history with it:
I bought it with 37k miles. it now has 60k miles. yes, I drive it. Yes, I've tracked it 5 times. once sebring, twice homestead, once road atlanta and once atlanta motorsports park. Very low overrevs and I don't think any of them during my ownership.
I use the car around town. I take road trips up to the smoky mountains with it. Generally just enjoy the car.
I've been very good about maintenance. this is list of things I've done, or at least that I can remember. some maintenance and some upgrades:
coil packs / spark plugs
water pump
belt
pinned coolant lines
bmc air filter
sharwerks cooler elbows
transmission/lsd refresh by copans
LWFW, RMS (since I was in there) and lightweight pulley
front RSS control arms and if I remember correctly also tie rods - need to confirm
rear RSS control arms, dog bones and toe arm with locking thingy
pagid yellow pads all around
michelin sport cup 2's with lots of life left
from memory that's all I can remember. If you guys can think of something else I should have done please ask. there's a good chance I did. I always kept up with the car and gave it whatever it needed.
I was never looking to sell this car but the purchase of a white 997.1 GT3RS has me thinking twice. I don't need two .1's.
Now, the car is a driver. it does have some rock chips etc since I drive it and enjoy it. But I would not hesitate at all to drive this car anywhere. It is turnkey and can't think of anything the car needs at this time.
I'm trying to be as transparent as I can. Given today's crazy market I'm having a hard time coming up with an asking price. I can't find one lower than the 140's and they go up from there. Mine has all the proper maintenance and mods that anyone buying a driver car would want and can save themselves the time, money and hassle of having to do it themselves and that in itself should have some value.
So, what would the Rennlist community say ?????

Great track car
I would say the rebuilt title hurts the most, mileage second... mainly because liquidity of a car is worth a lot to a dreamer stretching to buy it. That being said I just paid quite a bit for a not so perfect carfax RS because I know what I want it for and I don't like watching my back driving around town.
I think you'll find a buyer but I think $100 is probably closer
You know this car bumper to bumper and it has everything you need for the track with a great paint job, I think you should just drive the wheels off of it and let your kids worry about it.
1) nothing you could really do can lower its value, insure it for $140k and drive the crap out of it
2) it has almost $20k in track specific modifications, so if you wanted to buy a .1 RS it may cost another $10k to even get that one up to spec with this one
So you just want our best guess at a sell price? Great track car
Trying to establish what would be a reasonable asking price given the car being what it is. And yes, I do want to sell it so this post is about both. Trying to come up with a price and/or buyer.

Yea I think the best thing it has going for it, it legit has $20k in mods that made it track ready and fresh paint...so its a great purchase for anyone wanting to daily driver and track.

For someone looking to drive it I think the high side you could maybe see 80/90k? 100 would be great for a rebuilt title car IMO but I personally don't see it with 60k miles to boot.
I think the advice for drive it worry free is the best course of action here. How many people get to drive a 997 gt3 regularly enough to actually get to know the car?
New one on Autotrader $168.5k, about 14k miles more than mine and about $5k less MSRP... eg no Leather, 18-way sets etc... not sure about what shape its in
Drola - I'd price it at $90k, let someone negotiate you down a bit. I think the rebuilt title is what is going to decrease the price the most. Followed by the full repaint, although that likely doesn't matter with the rebuilt title, the majority of the resale hit is coming from the rebuilt title. Most buyers will not want to pay you back for the mods on it. The maintenance is a bonus.
