Default Found my car but someone beat me to it!

After 6 months I finally found the most perfect GT3 I have come across to date and only 20 miles from my house! My favorite color and with the exception of clear tail lights, was perfectly optioned IMO! Went to the dealership first thing Monday morning with my wifes Cayenne S to trade on it. I was told a gentleman from Washington State put a small deposit on it and was coming in to look at it this week. I was heartbroken! The dealer suggested putting a deposit on it to guarantee me second dibs. I did so. I'm still waiting to hear. I'm not sleeping and am a wreck! lol I want this car so bad I would consider paying the first gentleman to let it go to me!

Here is a link to the car:

Yes this is a nice car. It's been for sale for a week or so now. Dealer was keeping on posting FS thread in the classified section as a private owner. He got banned! lol!
I was interested too but the front plate plate got me thinking! It has 2 drilled holes from the US front plate and 2 other holes for the Euro plate! Also they wouldn't give me a good value for my trade. So ended up not buying it.
I hope you get 2nd dibs. GL

I did notice that, but since the European plate had 767 on it, which is a plane I fly I could live with it.

There's always another one around the corner. Don't lose sleep over it. If it's meant to be, it will happen.

$130k and it is CPO'd even though it isn't advertised as such. Nice piece of mind to have IMO. A little more than I wanted to spend, but it looks like its right off the showroom floor in 2011 and only 5k miles to boot. Plus it has nearly 30k in options.

$130k

edit: yep one year left on the CPO. 0 overrevs. Bucket seats replacing the original 18 ways. Dealer said OEM exhaust but it has aftermarket tips.

For sure with summer around the corner more GT3s will be available on the market. I'm not too sure about the asking price though. Maybe $2k to 5k overpriced.

It may be, but I don't see any priced lower with comparable miles and condition unfortunately.

GL with your search and becoming a GT3 owner.

Seems like more GT3s have come up for sale that last 4 months, including some 996 models, hopefully that will benefit you.

Wow, sound like a deal at 130 and that low mileage. It should go quick.
