Looking for a 996 GT3 in the Twin Cities

I am looking for a 996 GT3 that is for sale in the Twin Cities. I want black or silver and around an '03-'04 but I am somewhat open if the car is clean. Has anyone heard of or seen any clean cars for sale? I would like to start my search locally before I have to start flying out to find something. Thanks for your help.

Have you checked with Carousel Audi/Porsche off Wayzata Bvd in Minneapolis? I'm sure they could help you find one pretty easily. They don't have any GT3s in stock at the moment but if you ask around, they're very friendly and helpful from what I've heard.

Thanks for the links MRJohnT. Chicago would be my next step.

alzilla300, that is a great idea. I have been talking to Carousel a little before I was sure I wanted to get one. I think I will have them see what they can find.

I have a lead on a few GT3s so hopefully one works out.

Beautiful car. I am now concentrating on GT3s but will spread the word about your car.

There is a Guards Red Car (with Guards Red wheels) at Carousel in their service drop off bay. It has been there for at least a month. It may be for sale.

I found my car. Thanks for the replys.

Luis, I saw that one and never got around to asking about it since it was not an approved, by the wife, color. Looks like a nice car.

I drove a 997GT3 last summer. By far the best car I have driven.
I would have bought it on the spot except for the fact I had just paid my quarterly taxes that day

Congrats. Please post a few picts when you can.

Cheers
