Some guy posts his Gt3 replica for sale, and then some other guy claiming it was 'pretty much stolen' from him, without explanation. Looks to be the car reviewed by Clay Wong on YouTube recently.

The consensus is that the guy that posted this sold it too cheap. Then the current seller listed it for twice the price and he is salty ... not a confirmed theory. 1 michel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some guy posts his Gt3 replica for sale, and then some other guy claiming it was 'pretty much stolen' from him, without explanation. Looks to be the car reviewed by Clay Wong on YouTube recently. Owner's response on FB It's not stolen at all . The long story short, I traded him an r23 GTR plus another car and cash for the Porsche, he then killed the engine a month after trading the r32 GTR with me. He then expected me to pay 20K for an engine rebuild (which I obviously said no to doing). Only he knows how far he turned the boost controller up. There is no dispute with ownership at all mate, it is entirely my car figuratively, literally and legally as per the legal contract (Bartering agreement) we both signed. He thinks that I have now ripped him off 20k so he thinks I have "pretty much stolen it off him". He is also a bit upset because I politely turned down the offer he presented to me wanting to buy the Porsche back for an absolute low ball offer, just prior to him making this post. 1 1 Dreamr and porka987s reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from all that, very fun car to drive. In its current state, it’s a $250,000 - $270,000 car. If you’re looking for a more “original” example (local or OS LHD), be ready for $350,000 +. 1 9er reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at straight swapping my 240z for this 12 months or so ago. I had a PPI done and it was totally thrashed, mechanically and cosmetically. It does not surprise me one bit that it blew up. The PPI also noted that the gearbox was making some very nasty noises. As you can guess, I walked away and all this makes me even more glad that I did. 1 GTP911 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't this car (996) that blew its motor .. it was the car that he swapped it for.. the R32 GTR blew it's load and the guy wanted the previous owner of it (the current owner of the 996) to pay for it .. Took me a minute to work it all out too .. sounds like a bloody circus .. 😅 1 1 Fishcop and MFX reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
