James P Posted 11March, 2020 Report Share Posted 11March, 2020 Thanks @mbedford Yes it's in amazing condition it still feels, smells & drives like new. The previous long term owner washed & detailed the car after every drive.. as for the options i'm sure those interested in buying a 997 GT3 will know what to look for. Not much available for sale at the moment, only 2 997.1 GT3's for sale in Aust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD911 Posted 11March, 2020 Report Share Posted 11March, 2020 I had the pleasure on inspecting @James P car recently & can tell you it is immaculate in every sense of the word. If you had told me it had 15,000 kms on it I wouldn't have questioned it. At that sort of money it has to be the best bargain on the GT3 market for a genuine, clean car. At that money it makes it an awesome, useable driver & buying it from someone who lived & breathed these cars on & off the track in their heyday is a bonus. Hope she goes to a good home.

firstone Posted 22March, 2020 Report Share Posted 22March, 2020 Is there reporting mechanism for these types of adverts? Would carsales.com care? Probably not. I was recently shopping carsales and found 2 vehicle's for sale within 200klms search area that gave no reply. Both had run out of rego was one clue. I bought a car from lennox head and reminded the guy to save callers list as sold. I got an update from cs before i got to the highway. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... After reading through this whole thread, as I have seen this GT3 has been mentioned several times over the years, my curiosity heightened when @mbedford said he tried to contact the seller unsuccessfully recently. I am definitely considering a GT3 myself, so I made my own enquiry today. Well, Oliver answered my first call straight up, and was happy to answer my questions about the car. It all seems very genuine to me, however what was clear is that he is not motivated to sell unless the asking price (or thereabouts) is paid. So, after the previous failed enquiries, I found the seller happy to chat and the car sounds like a genuinely nice example. Just, as has been mentioned, at least $50k overpriced. hugh and James P 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely considering a GT3 myself, so I made my own enquiry today. He did get back to me after a few days. Car now as 53,000kms, options are Bi-xenon headlights, sports chrono, red seatbealts and Porsche crests on seats. So what does everyone think will happen to the 997 GT3 car values over the next 6 months? I believe In 6 months the light will be at the end of the tunnel for Australia, things will be starting to return to a normal, what do people think about the values? Will there be some real bargains coming up in the coming months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
