Putting the word out that I'm thinking of selling my beloved GT3 and moving on to another Porsche adventure.

It is a Canadian car that was originally allocated to Porsche Vancouver. I believe there are only 60 996 Gt3's original to Canada.

I have made extensive repairs to bring it back to 100% mechanical condition. There is a huge list ( I have receipts) and all parts are oem Porsche parts. I have replaced every single coolant hose on and from the engine to the radiators in 2024. Radiators have been ultrasonically cleaned. All the coolant pipes have been welded with new tubing. All leaks have been fixed. All previous non permanent repairs have been properly re-done. New fuel filter, coolant expansion tank, clutch release bearing, throttle pedal and many more. New transmission oil, brake fluid, power steering fluid.

I autocross this car but do not abuse it. It runs cool and never overheats.  It has never been over-revved in a downshift. It has a $1400 Carfax from before my time. I think it's a paint repair to the rear fender.

The car is modified with RSS lower control arms. It has a beautifully sounding aftermarket exhaust and a roll cage. A previous owner has installed 996 GT3 club sport bucket seats which are highly desirable and comfortable. It is presently fitted with PS2 tires but I also have PS4's as spares too.

I am meticulous about oil changes and perform them at every 3000 km.

The odometer is at 89800 km's and I am asking $129900.

I know, I’m sorry! I’m still on the fence though.

Mark, I did give that some serious thought, however I don't think I would be able to withstand the mockery that would ensue...(I'm looking at you, Brodie)...🤣
