Is that for real? If it's all legit, I clearly missed out on this one. Wow. Just wow. :\

My buddy was on the phone with the dealer when it sold. He was crushed. Everyone's got 997 fever!! It's almost like the 993 market when the 996 came out.

07's are my favoite too. Price seems about right for experience, and condition IMHO. This one looks ridden hard and put away wet

Miles, Condition, impression?- all personal I guess.

(I have worked for Porsche for 4 years, and driven and sold many GT series cars-new and used. None of which were in this type of " nice, but well used condition")
Example I based my opinion on is near perfect 07 example, one owner, never tracked, 10K miles, Porsche Certifed, New N spec tires, Clean DME- not even range 1 on it, sold it in the low 70's. THAT- IMO was a great buy.

That does sound like a great buy. However, not knowing the track history, and more importantly DME results, I think this GT3 wasn't too bad of a deal. When I sold Porsches I mainly dealt with new GT cars, so my first hand experience is limited. Seems like most that do manage to get their hands on one of these, don't like to let them go...

I'm sorry but if you're worried about stage 1 over revs you're too anal or just dumb. Fuel shuts of at redline where stage 1 occurs and leaves no damage at all. None. 2,000 stage 1 over revs still don't mean shit.

This is a proper answer

Thanks for the insight. I didn't know about the fuel cutoff. When I worked for Porsche, engineers used to drill into us the "consequences of over-revs", including type 1.

One thing I learned though too, often missed with these DME test results, is also the fact of whether or not the car is chipped and therefore has a raised rev limiter. If so, it is my understanding that the DME readout will show any redline shift as a technical type 1 over-rev.
