edgy Posted 26March Report Share Posted 26March I was shocked to see it auctioned for a 3rd time! Seems like a fine example to drive and enjoy, seems like price is the only thing holding that back from happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 26March Report Share Posted 26March It was on show on the Collecting Cars stand at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, had a good poke around it. Other than the km, it looked like a good useable example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Arnott Posted 27March Report Share Posted 27March I'm wondering if a good poke around underneath would reveal some previous accident history....? It's not selling for a reason. *Disclaimer - I do not know this car or its history, just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911 Posted 27March Report Share Posted 27March He has been asked multiple times for an over revs report on all 3 auctions, but has said buyer need to pay for it to get done, which is fair enough, but after 2 auctions with the same questions, if it were me I'd have got it done before listing it the 3rd time and might have got a better result. He's also mentioned that 75% of the car has had paint, but no accident history. Just cosmetic. Who knows. As you edge over to high 1's for a 90km 996. My thinking is, pay a bit more for a 997. sjm, tomo and Yeatesy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming soon to Collecting Cars (also currently on Facebook for ~$210K) 2000 Porsche 911 (996) GT3 for sale by auction in North Rocks, NSW, Australia (collectingcars.com) FYI: by the KM's travelled (colour,condition, options), I think this may be the Porsche Centre Doncaster 996 GT3 sold as discussed above/previously. p.s looks sensational..........

I saw the car at the bend a few years ago. It had heavy patina in the usual areas from track use. He and his wife used it for many years as a track day car I believe. Otherwise it looked straight? So I’d tend to believe the owner on the reason for paint. No affiliation with them or the car. GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably knows it has overrevs and doesn't want to disclose. Downloading overrevs is a 5 minute task and any shop regularly servicing your car would do it without cost as a one off... I've certainly never paid for an over-rev report when I've needed one 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his other recent videos was similar- seemed very unenthused by the example. Maybe was the 964 one for memory. I do like how he noted it really wasn't much different to a regular 996 GT3. One panel of carbon (still used locking mechanism- hello weight!) Wee bit of roll centre difference in uprights (yawn). Give me a 996 Cup any day of the week- actually give me 4 instead of one of these pretty RS 996's. Let's face it they are a Vacationer of the 996 or an S Pack to clear out stock for the 997. Yep <- those are fighting words- stick up your dukes. Shedpest, JWM and spiller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
