You've already had an 04 GT3, I would be willing to bet you already know the answer to that.

Nice car, but you might want to do a search for "Luxury Motors" on the forums. I read some good things about them. But, I've read quite a bit of negative information about them as well.

VIN check confirms that it is an 04 GT3. Either this is a great deal or something is up.

A check in the carfax history, says it was involved in an accident! That might explain the low price.

Yeah they have center consoles, but the Cup cars don't.

I purchased an '04 Audi A8L from Luxury Motors. Their prices were $12k less than the local Audi dealers for the same vehicle. They were great! I now have over 114K miles on the car.

I don't think you should give up a clean car, for a potentially damaged car....

I don't know anything about the dealer, but I applaud the fact they at least offered a free carfax. I know of a couple of dealers who knew certain cars they were selling had known accidents & would make you pay for a carfax! Thumbs up to "Luxury Motors"!

2nd, I saw another GT3 for sale for 47k with an accident on the record. Seems like a bargain considering that a lot of accidents go unreported. A lot depends on where the accident was and what the thorough PPI says. Here is another one,
