2007 Porsche GT3 RS

Orange

39,800 miles

$120,000

Annapolis, MD

Perfectly clean title in hand. No stories, no drama and a basically original unmolested car. I’m just a guy that owned and loved a great car and now is moving on. Car is clean and original. Maybe not perfect for a vacu-seal collector but if someone wants a driver that remains original this is a good opportunity.

CLEAN DME - ZERO overrevs in any range. See documentation at very bottom of photos in this post.

OPTIONS:

N2 - Orange Paint

78 – Black Full Leather Option

810 – Floor Matts with Porsche Logo

640 – Chrono Package Plus

P16 – PCM 2.1 5.8” infotainment/Navigation screen

450 – PCCB Carbon Ceramic Brakes

P74 – Bi-Xenon headlamps

XME – Orange painted center console

XXZ - Aluminum foot rest

ADDED ACCESSORIES (Removable without any trace):

• Roll bar kit. RSS Brand 901/30 4-point, painted factory orange. I was told this was installed at the time the car was originally delivered to the 1st owner but I do not have records for this purchase. This kit bolts to the factory seatbelt mounting holes so it requires no cutting/welding/modification to the car. This bar is removable with no evidence left behind if a new owner wanted an absolutely original car.
• Rennline grill screens to protect radiators (added by me to protect the vulnerable radiators. Seemed crazy they were left completely exposed by the factory.). They are easily removable with no holes or marks left behind if a new owner wanted an absolutely original car.

PREVENTATIVE MAINT/IMPROVEMENTS:

• Coolant lines pinned (all 6).

HISTORY:

I purchased the car in early 2013 from Porsche of Livermore in San Francisco Bay area. The car had 14,000 miles and was basically perfect with CPO warranty and a DME report showing zeros in all ranges. I was told it was traded in by a wealthy doctor who repeatedly buys and trades cars at the dealership. So I am the 2nd owner starting in 2013 and 14,000 miles.

I put every mile on the car since then and have done all maintenance myself since then. I do have a log book for all maintenance. The car did go to the dealership three times since it arrived in March 2013. The first time was for Maryland state inspection so I could register the car. The 2nd time was for an airbag light that just needed a code to be cleared and never had the issue again. The 3rd time was on the last day of the CPO warranty they replaced all the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors as they were not working due to dead batteries.

I have never had a mechanical or other issue with the car. I just change the fluids (including transmission) and follow the factory schedule like replacing filters and spark plugs and the car has been running perfectly. The car has been solid as rock since I took delivery in early 2013. I wish my “non-exotic” cars were as trouble free.

I am a casual track day guy. I did do a few days at the track at the rather conservative and laid back Audi Club events. It is fun but due to the value and rarity of the car I ran conservatively with asset preservation #1 on the list at all times. I later decided that it was too risky and started taking my other car to the track instead if I even get a chance to go once a year or so. Total track days I did with this car are 6 but one of those was a rain day and I hardly even left the garage. As you can see there are zero overrevs of any range on the car so the track use was limited and casual in nature.

Other than the 2 removable accessories mentioned above the car is bone stock and original.

CONDITION:

The car is over 10 years old so if you want to find a blemish you could find one or two. Car has had no accidents and no damage. I had a friend with a paint meter go over it and it all is consistent factory finish. The car had clear film on the entire front end including full fenders, full hood, mirrors etc. I recently removed the film to prepare the car for sale as it was over 10 years old and had some yellowing (luckily not a big problem on an orange car.) I was going to have it re-done but I took the time to do some paint correction and polishing. Now I figure I will sell the car without film so the buyer can see the paint naked and then do what he/she wants after purchase.

The lower lip spoiler inevitably touches the ground from time to time so there are some scuffs on the underside of this consumable item. Most of us GT3RS owners consider this a wear item and replace it about once every two years. I can remove and replace it in about 15 minutes.

There are probably 2 or 3 places where you could find a pencil tip sized paint nick or imperfection. Other than that the paint is great without scratches, swirls, etc. The naked carbon on the spoiler is pristine. I recently replaced the GT3RS decal kit due to some visible wear and imperfections in the vinyl decals.

Glass is perfect. Lights are perfect. Wheels have no scratches, curb rash, dents or bends. They do show some micro pitting if you get on your hands and knees and inspect under heavy lighting. I assume this is caused by road grit over time.

PCCB brakes are in good shape. The PCCB rotors are original. I have been very careful to replace pads (at significant expense) well before they could wear down enough to cause an issue with the rotors but they last very well. Last set (full front and rear) was installed at 37,800 miles so only 1,600 miles on them. I did a complete brake fluid flush and fill at that time as well. I love the PCCBs as they give the the car such a light and precision feeling. It seems to make acceleration and change of direction more lively than a steel brake car.

Tires are Michelin Pilot Supersports mounted at 37,386 miles so only about 2,000 miles on them and plenty of tread left. The Pilot Supersports were the closest thing to what was fitted as OEM (Pilot Sport 2s.) They are great tires and plenty of life left.

The interior is very good. The alcantara at the touch areas (wheel and shift ****) has some wear in the sense that the alcantara is not as “fluffy” as it is on the non-touch areas. There are no tears, stains, etc. The leather bolster on the drivers seat shows the inevitable fact that you slide over it more often than any other part of the seats. There are some character lines in the leather but nothing I would call damage. See pictures. The back of the seats do contact the roll bar if pushed all the way back so there are marks on both items from this contact point. There is a mark in the leather dash material near the center vent that you can see under some lighting conditions but usually not noticeable. It was there when I got the car and got past several inspections without notice.

PCM and stereo work as well as they ever did. They are not a highlight of this car as I’m sure you are already aware.

I have all the original keys and the manuals.

beautiful thing! you might regret it when its gone OP, anyways GLWS!

 

Perfection, glws

 

So tempting

 

Bump, for one of the best for sale ads I have seen!

GLWS!!

 

I just bought a 997 gt3 with a sw 3.9 stroker but would of been my second choice. Great car, great price glws

 

Very well written ad, and beautiful car

 

If I can sell my 997.1 GT3, I'll turn around and put yours in it's place.

 

Is this still available? I'm local-ish just outside DC.

 

Please email me at blake@nreag.com I'm not able to send PM's yet. Thx

 

Hi. Yes car is still here. I have a verbal offer on the table but buyer has not locked up car with any financial commitment. I have learned over the years that I will not hold an item for sale for anyone. Too many times something falls through. Car is available until there is money changing hands.

Sorry for slow response. I was out of the country for a week or so and was not keeping up with everything.

 

Update: I lowered the ask price based on some other recent sales data and based on discussions with potential buyers.

The car is 100% available. The buyer who verbally committed had to back out due to a business deal gone bad that he has deal with before buying another car.

 

Car still for sale. I've had a lot of action. Many conversations with many potential buyers but few actually make the effort to come see the car or to arrange a PPI. I've made myself available for both.

What do you guys think? Should I put it up on Bring-a-Trailer?

 

Keep it. Market is weird right now for ALL cars. If you don't need to sell it, continue to enjoy it. Likely won't cost you a penny.
This is 100% the car I'd buy if I needed another one :-)

 

beautiful, and thank you for all the fantastic pictures, this is how you do a for sale ad and properly market a gem like this. glws.
