Riviera Blue 997.2 GT3 - Anyone know it?

[TheDeadPrussian]

As per the title really - does anyone know (or have any opinions on) the Riviera Blue 997.2 GT3 at Mid-Sussex? I am thinking of taking a proper look at it.

IMO its too much money for the mileage.

Particularly when viewed against the Guards Red at Cambridge with ~5k miles on the dial going at 70k

Can't view the link but if it's Riviera Blue it's worth a premium. My absolute favourite Porsche colour! Mmmmmm!

I was looking at this before I bought mine recently, the previous owner kept it in a barn and it had a mouse living in it, detailed in the history!

Is it still worth a look? What did you think - you obviously bought something else, but if the price is right and with the Porsche 2 year warranty is it worth pursuing? Is there anything else lurking in its history?

With its mileage i would have thought it was the previous owner living in it!

It seemed sound and there was a good deal to be had but I went for a much lower mileage one for not much more money with lifting kit which I think is a must.

At 74k it would be decent value I reckon....

I've seen it and sat in it...very nice...and P Mid-Sussex good to deal with.

how much of the electrics got munched by the mouse then ?

If you want a 7.2 3 in the riviera blue colour, I don't think there are many to choose from.

it is a nice CS spec without the heavy lift system and with lightweight buckets. I wouldn't get too hung up about the 17k mileage either. Just check for the usual abused/crash-repair signs. If that checks out, given the special colour, the price is not outrageous.

Cambridge car is great deal. Low mileage, lift, buckets and mounts. ALL the essentials

[HokumPokum]

indeed.....

me thinks it'll be gone soon.

The Cambridge car is the best one available right now.

Yep good value. No sat nav though, problem? I think this is the car Lamborghini had, then Bentley.

Surprised that it is still available, with the 2 year warranty & low miles that is amazingly good value. PCM unnecessary.

The Cambridge car looks an absolute steal. I can't imagine why it hasn't sold yet - you could buy it and wrap it in any colour you like if you aren't into red...

If it's the same one I went to look at before Christmas, the front is covered in stone chips, the odd dent, and generally a little tatty, not what I'd expect for a £70k car...

Of course, if it's not, then it looks lovely!
