Most suspension bushings have about a 100k life to them on the e46, subframe mount issues should have already been addressed. I don't think they fall under the category under any sort of unreliable sort of car, but they are reasonably high maintenance. I mean, there is no point of driving a car like that unless you keep it driving like it should. Buy a car with records and a PPI unless you feel like really rolling the dice.

997.1 GT3

Don't often see too many GT3s for sale, and by owner, too.

A Cayman is one of my dream cars, but a GT3 would be even more awesome. Drove the 991 GT3 on a track when I was in Vegas so I can only imagine how much more fun a manual 997 would be.

Is that GT3's asking price reasonable at all? I have absolutely no idea what price scale these cars go for, and the CBB trade in value of $55,045 - $59,400 just somehow didn't seem all that accurate.

*Drool* Good price considering the dollar. A savy American buyer will buy if posted on Rennlist

Also that 96 993 C4S with 160k for $75k sold.

what he said. if one is expecting the equivalent maintenance budget of a honda civic they are very sadly mistaken

That 997.1 GT3 looks great. Price is fair considering our dollar right now. Toronto car is kinda yuck but that would just be a negotiating point on behalf of the buyer since it never saw winter technically. I keep flip flopping between an NSX or P-car(997 Turbo or GT3) and this car isn't helping :P

Knowing you have a kid, I think a 997 turbo would be far and above the most awesome choice. Could you imagine a weekend getaway to whistler with the wife and kid in a 997 turbo? I can, and its awesome.

Price wise I would say that GT3 is about right, maybe a tad bit high given the KM's.

It also has a random vent kit for the front bumper (Commonly installed on track cars), some non-pilot sport cup tires (Probably much cheaper tires)… and very little options.. the one option it does have is the only one that a lot of people avoid lol #PPCB #20Krotors #yesthatsUSD Though from the pics you can't even tell if the rotors are still PCCB or were converted to steel.

The fact that it's from Ontario is also not a bonus, though if it was never driven around winter it might be okay… the residual salt stays on the road there for quite some time after the snow is gone.

Americans know Porsches can be had at bargain prices here.. though they usually prefer to pick of a formerly American car to dodge the duty and avoid KM/H clusters. (It seems to me anyway)

i kind of like it, but that e46 m3 fender vent ruins it for me.

interesting use of honda jdm sidemarkers as corner lights though.

I was in this same position over and over until I caved and picked up the GT3. If the NSX didn't have a targa roof it would have been an easy decision… but damn that drop top doe

I know everyone hates early 996s other than pretty much me, but this is pretty nice and cheap. Thats a lot of car for a shade over 20k.

would be a good buy if the car is in pretty decent shape.

Lobster claws look pretty good on the standard body water cooled cars

Agreed! I definitely favor the Turbo over the GT car due to my current life position but I'd certainly be happy either way

Yeah, I don't really dig the targa. Not because of the drop top faggotry but more due to creaks, leaks, etc. I care not for even a sunroof so a true coupe would be ideal.

Volvo S80 with V8 Yamaha motor.
Tried emailing seller, but seems very flaky (scam-wanted full payment via Amazon before "shipping the car to me")

Tried flagging several times, but ad is still up

Calling White Rocket

1987 Buick Turbo T

Not the best deal but if it's tidy and sorted out, it could be a good buy if that NSX you wanted doesn't pan out

Also, you can nickname it the 'White Rocket'
