2011 997.2GTS, in white (blah) over black (blah), only 4K miles, essentially as new. Current bid? $71K

RNM at 90K on the white 997 GTS.

Did you guys catch the new Chris Harris YouTube video with Andreas Preuniger for the new 992 GT3 unveiling? They walked through all of the Gt3s starting with the 996 mark I —which turns out really disappointed because it was such a rush job.

It was fascinating. I wonder if Porsche has that much passion for the standard 911 as they do for the GT3.

Yeah it was very cool.

I think we got the 996.2 gt3 in the state’s that I think was improved over the 996.1. They only mentioned the rs version in the video though.

Nice!

Speaking of high mileage, here’s a 92,000 mile 987 GT3. Also has some accidents.

Very curious about where this one ends up. What’s the discount for a car like this over a no story, low mileage car?

Well done! (My little car just hit 16,000 yesterday.) Somehow, I doubt it will make it to your benchmark.

All tucked in for winter. We are going to store it for a few months in the NY cottage garage. I miss it already.

Besides a trickle charger which is on, any recommendations for parking it for 3- 4 months. Shouls i pump the tires up high to minimize flat spots?
