^^^^Yah, true that...
The one im looking at is 2010, pccb, nav, ac, sport buckets with 5 points seatbelts. I think the only big thing missing is front lift. 12k km so 7500mi....its offered down 27% vs msrp but with US models offered much cheaper than up here, CAD/US$ parity, that thing called winter coming up fast up here, I think I could get another 8-9% off....AND the dealer has another GT3 to go....they had them in stock all summer.....clearly mispriced.....
Of course id have to give a bit more % wise on the Cayman trade-in, but were talking different price bracket here....

Last dilemma: black or white? Actually, the one described up there is black with stock wheels. The other one in stock is white with black stock wheels, NO pccb, sport buckets, NO harness, ac, nav BUT with front axle lift. Less mileage, about 3kmi....
So my questions are:
PCCB a must?
Harness a must?
Front lift a must?
When does mileage becomes a "problem" on a GT3 if its 99% not on the track?

thanks for you answers.

I would buy the white one and add sport buckets and the harnesses, but i like white cars better.

i think black is the color to go...
concerning your other questions: do you wanna track it? if so you should get buckets and harnesses...pccb is not necessary at all, but as it's fitted you will be fine with it anyways...
mileage i can't tell but porsches are among the most reliable cars in the world!

Well...............ive never done track days......and im somewhat afraid to start with a gt3.....So i dont know if i will with that car.
Regarding mileage, my uninformed guess is that 3-4k mi is almost like a rounding error....its a Porsche after all, not a Ferrari....

Sell the Cayman and get a GT3/RS. Drive the piss out of it and when the 991GT3 comes re-evaluate your position.
Best of luck
Best advice, ditto!
