Rare: 2008 White (heavily optioned) GT3 with Ceramics

[s4play]

I'm not really sure what to do right now as I have a few things / deals going on and might need to free up some funds. I don't need to sell this car as it's pretty much all paid for by now and either way I have to take delivery of it. Waited almost 1.5 years for this so it's a tough decision. I'm just putting this out here since I have a few other opportunities I'd like to explore. My close friend just gave me a deal that's very hard to refuse - he's got a 2005 F430 coupe (6-speed) which is my dream car for $180k if I do some work for him with my car shop. Anyways the car is one of only 107 2008 models and I spec'd it out fully with the full CF package, yellow deviated stitching throughout, yellow Ceramic brakes, yellow belts matching floor mats. If you are serious I can provide a full detailed list but the options topped out just over $30k. Car will be titled to me so you will essentially be purchased a "used" car with little or no miles on it so you can save quite a bit on taxes. I'm asking to get $25k obo over sticker. Already got 3 offers in that range so we'll see what happens when I take delivery. here's the options: BasePorsche Base Model$107,500.00 B4Carrara White $0.00 B4Carrara White $0.00 78Black full Leather $2,995.00 CUVStorage Cmpt Lid w/ Model Logo $295.00 CXDDoor Entry Grds Carbon Illumination $1,280.00 P74Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package $1,090.00 P12Self Dim Mirrors & Rain Sensor $690.00 XMJRear Center Console in Carbon $1,625.00 XPAThicker Steering Wheel Leather $0.00 XSCPorsche Crest in Headrest $270.00 XSYSeat Belts in Speed Yellow $540.00 342Heated Front Seats $500.00 EZAInterior Carbon Package $890.00 CFXFloor Mats with Colored Trim $405.00 9991All Excl.

Wow, only 107 08 GT`s, comes 09 a facelift?

[LIL RAJA]

aren't gt3s selling at msrp?
only the gt3 rs selling for premium i thought.

but anyways, good luck.

Keep both

If you can get ANYTHING north of MSRP on a GT3...you should take advantage of it! In the market over here (Mid-Atlantic USA) the car can be had new at MSRP. Good luck!

Same in the south east.

[NickyBlack]

Go for it Rick, Here in NY area they are going for MSRP.
I'd take the Ferrari over that any day. Both great regardless

[KeyserSoze]

Actually I see them for MSRP in the west too... To me it seems like the RS is the only one really commanding a premium. The regular (sic) GT3 is easily had at MSRP so if people are paying more for them, it's because they're too lazy (or too rich) to look around.

Good luck with the sale!

take that & run. a heavily optioned car will be in the RS price range so no way u'll get that once u take delivery. i don't even see too many RS going above 25k now.

[CAPTLST]

S4play, take the 25K or even 15K over for your GT3 and call it a day!!!!! Unless you have a RS in afraid your not going to find many willing to pay that much for a reg GT3.

[jamie]

Take the money and run! The guy on Rennlist with 4 GT3RS is selling two of them for 23 and 30 over respectively.

[s4play]

thanks for the heads up guys....

Who knows when I get the car I may just keep it since it's the first real car I spec'd out for myself and I really do love the car....


rick

[mkell]

Man, that seems like it's spec'd out perfectly. I bet you will chnage your mind when it arrives!

[s4play]

All the PM's just replied today, sorry been kinda out of the loop a while on here.....

the car is enroute to dealer now so not sure if I want to sell the car just yet. Once I drive it I may just keep it and forget about the F-car for a while since this is far cheaper than the F430.....

thanks for all the offers guys but I probably won't let this one go for any less than 25k over. Essentially you will be buying a used car so no taxes thus you are really only paying like 12k over msrp anyways.

Taxes will be due all over again, even if it is used. You pay to the dealer, and then the next buyer will have to pay again to his own state to register the car. There is no tax savings here (unless your state has some other provision and the buyer is an in-state resident).

Therefore, $25k over MSRP will amount to a higher tax bill than you paid to the dealer (which was based on MSRP). Ouch!
