Ha ha ha! Spelling,punctuation and grammar; our old faves !

Isn't that the one purchased off eBay from the last keeper as he was part exchanging it?

It was on the 'bay for something like £55k iirc, just goes to show you what the trade bids are like I guess.

Bloomin' eck!

I didn't realise the 997s had dipped under £60k.

Looks great!

So tempting at that price. My favourite colour combination too for a Gen 1 rs.

Who in their right mind is going to buy a car like that from a used car lot?

Why not, its only a car ........ even OPC's are 'used car lots' .....

[Alpinestars]

I spoke to the seller on ebay 2 or 3 months ago. Did not inspire a huge amount of confidence, but I never got to see the car in the flesh.

Not exactly your average used car lot is it! Why try to find a fault in everything.

Ive dealt with these guys and had no problems with them at all. I sold my 997 to them with no issues whatsoever about 3 weeks ago having been fannied about no end my many of the specialists ( not 991V who were also very good but too far away from me)

I almost bought this GT3 and in truth there doesnt seem to be much wrong with it. Its done a fair few spins around the ring and been overserviced I believe but it looks good although could do with a machine polish or detail.Overall though it seems good value and if it wasnt for the rear seats issue it would be in my Garage now.

Overall, Ive dealt with far worse dealers in my time and they are more than just a "used car lot". They go through a lot of Porsche/TVR/High performance kit on a regular basis.

If youre looking for one Id go and have a look, and make your own mind up.

This is the one Chris Harris mentioned on Twitter as being cheap. Its done 30k miles , got a new clutch , got Alcon brakes , new tyres and been over serviced. From this I think an educated guess would be most of the 30k miles have been done flat out or round a track. This in itself is not a bad thing but would probably put a few people off hence the low price.

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

This is the case and they were very honest with me when i was talking to them about it.

Overserviced?

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

choice of words. oil change every 1k plus regular OPC servcics as per the schedule i believe.

Thats sounds fair enough, I stand corrected.

[supermono]

1k oil changes? Surely there's no harm in that? Seems excessive though.

Missing PCCBs would irk me most about that car. It seems from my straw poll 99% of the great unwashed think it looks ridiulous and stupid in those colours.

But then I'm used to being in the 1% I love it.

If it has spent most of its time on the track, additional oil changes seem prudent.

I agree, if it spends that much time on the track PCCB's would be an odd omission.

The great unwashed are incorrect on this occasion, the colour is spot on.
