Wtb 997 gt3

Year: 2007
Make: Porsche
Model: 911
Price: $0
Mileage: 50000
Color: Not silver
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): TX
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

Hey Y'all,

I'm a noob here, but not new to performance cars. In fact I've been a DE driver for many years, currently certified as an instructor, and am also a club racer. I'm just new to Porsches. As some would say, I've now seen the light.

I also didn't want to hijack anybody else's WTB thread (I already did once and was feeling guilty), so as redundant as this may seem, I felt it only fair.

I'm on the hunt for a 997 GT3 in any color other than silver. I really don't want to pay more than $85K, but depending on the car, I might be able to stretch it. Obviously, I would rather pay much less. It all depends on the history and condition.

I don't want a car that has, or has had, a roll bar in it. I also know what to look for, so cars that have had a roll bar in it will be passed up as soon as I figure it out.

I will be needing a PPI done by a 3rd party of my choosing before the sale is finalized.

If anybody has one available, please do post here, as I will be checking frequently. I'm a serious buyer with cash + pre-approved financing for the rest, and am willing to travel for the right car.

I've also cross posted on the other P-car forums, so rest assured I'm following those FS forums closely multiple times on a daily basis.

Thanks!

Nobu

It's tough sledding, I'm looking for a 997.2 GT3 as well....

I think there's a small disconnect between buyer's and seller's valuations and specs. Or a geographic disconnect (the one's that I was really hot on are on the other side of the country).

Yeah unfortunately for us buyers, it's a seller's market, it seems. The demand seems to be exceeding the available inventory.

For me, I just sold my NASA GTS3 race car and I'm taking a hiatus from racing my own car, but in the meantime, I need a GT3 so I can have a fun weekend car that I can take to the track to instruct in.

My next event is at CotA in March. Love living down here. The winter vortex can kiss my ***, ha! :-)

911 GT3 for sale

I have this available to sell. It is my personal car, bought new in Florida originally & imported into Canada. It has a Porsche accessory roll bar, which I would assume was not factory installed. It has the nice Bi-xenon lights, PCMS radioénav, & Sport Chrono options. It may have been tracked in a previous life. It is in excellent condition.
I have a carfax report showing no issues.
Price is in Cdn $. IE at current US exchange, cheaper for you.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind, although I'm a little apprehensive about bringing a car from out of the country. I'm currently pursuing a hot lead, so if that falls through, I may be contacting you.

Thank you.
I would still double check, but i believe bringing the car back to the US would be mostly administrative, as it was originally produced for US market/sale. IE it meets all safety requirements.
i have used a broker to bring a vehicle into Canada, & can provide 1 or 2 known companies to check with. Lots of times they`ll give a package price that includes shipping & importation, making the process quite easy.
Let me know if i can help in any way.
