Cam Arnott Posted 6November, 2021 Report Share Posted 6November, 2021 I'll have to look at PET again. From memory there are LHD and RHD versions but I wonder what the actual differences are..... Edit - I'm sure the bases are offset differently. Wonder if the handle is removable....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the bases are as the LHD and RHD cars use the same centre console. It’s just biased towards LHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st Posted 8November, 2021 Report Share Posted 8November, 2021 Hey guys are the GT3 centre consoles the same as the Boxster / 996’s or are they unique to this model? In the GT3 they seem to have a rubberised coating ? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main centre console (up the middle) could be optioned as body colour, otherwise I think were rubberised as standard?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your bet this time @edgy..? So we're about 1 month on the market, and it is still for sale... quite the contrast to the 24-48 hour listings we had seen earlier on.

I understand the owner wasn't happy with CTS but at that level of spend it opens up opportunity for more buyers (trade ins etc.) It looks like a nice car. I tend to find silver doesn't generally attract a premium though in terms of colour. I'd expect 'fair' pricing to be at 230-250k with a private seller. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is at what price , do you just buy and put it in storage if you just wanna bank one of these cars for a rainy day, if u have money sitting in the bank that aint moving anywhere..or in real estate.. Is it an instrument of investment? Thats presuming the seller is open to solid unemotional offers in the lower price bracket. In that colour , the market evidently has a limit.. pretty colours do seem to rock someones world . Theres maybe someone who is still shopping for an early xmas present. If I were an investor I would want to be targeting 20% on my money and if I were a trader maybe more. We do live in such a small pond.. the CTS/Dutton hype does seem to shift cars. maybe its the smiles from the receptionists that drains blood from the head to d..k and along with it price considerations. All in all its a clean unit but a lottery picking the price. Im still wondering how they in general hyped and booster from 180s to 200 and beyond so quick .. a red car and yellow one started the trend... my vote is $210k is solid buying and I feel sellers should listen to that if they have had ownership for a few years and just wanna move on .. theres a room for both to win that way. Evidently if its just been bought buy a speculator , the number will need to be higher and maybe they will have to keep it. I would have one for investment and the driveability but would prefer a 997 GT3 overall for drivability and the road use i would put it to. Is this owner just dirty with CTS , have too higher expectations and been turning offers away and has a screwed up selling campaign.. who knows?
