Clean Carfax® Report
Clean Over-Rev Report
When the Porsche GT3 was launched as a new model in the late 90’s, it was an overwhelming success. All GT3s have since become among the most sought after modern collectibles. The famous Mezger engines were the foundation of all the 996 and 997 GT3s. This motor is known for being one of the best engines ever built. It is incredibly reliable and able to handle gobs of power. The RS 4.0 was the last of these special engines.
This example was built in February of 2007 and sold new by Blue Grass Motorsports Porsche dealer of Louisville, Kentucky on February 28th, 2007. This example was ordered with the following factory options:
Sport Seats
19” GT3 Wheels
Fire Extinguisher
Sport Chrono Package w/o PCM
Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package
Speed Yellow
Carbon Door Sill Model Insignia
Rear Center Console Painted Exterior Color
Seat Belts in Speed Yellow
Furthermore, the gauge surround and rest of the center console were also painted in exterior color as well as paint to match bolt-in roll bar. Also, a carbon fiber upper wing piece was installed and painted yellow on the underside.
The MSRP was 0,850
The first owner was Mark Buford of Brentwood, TN. He owned the car for over 3-years and added over 12k miles. For the majority of the services, he used a local independent specialist. Based on the Carfax® report, it looks like he serviced the car nearly a dozen times. The majority of the services were routine fluid changes and inspections. He did have the A/C system serviced/charged as well as the front crankshaft seal replaced. Mark sold the car in July of 2010 with 12,635 miles to an enthusiast in Charlestown, Indiana. This owner kept the car for 4 years and added another 10k miles. The Carfax® shows 8 services during this time period. Once again, the services looked like routine fluid flushes, oil services, and inspections. Most services were performed at the selling Porsche dealer in Louisville, Kentucky. Just before selling to the next owner, the starter was replaced.
It was then sold in March of 2014 with 22,700 miles to the next owner in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This owner was Porsche of Pittsburgh who kept it as a display vehicle for just over a year. They sold it on May 6th,2015 with 26,460 miles to an enthusiast in Solana Beach, California (near San Diego). For the next 5-years/7k-miles, this owner serviced the car at local shops in Encinitas, California. In 2019, he installed a fresh set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (around 33k miles). It was then sold in May of 2020 with 33,935 miles to the next owner in Government Camp, Oregon near the base of Mount Hood.
This owner didn’t drive it much and ended up selling it to a good friend and fellow Porsche enthusiast here in the Los Angeles area. He flew up to Portland last year and did a 1,700 mile road trip with his wife back home. In December of last year, he purchased a 2007 GT3 RS from us as well that he uses for light track duty. This car was just too nice to track. For the last 6 months, he realized that he just isn’t going to use it like he thought and asked us to help find the next caretaker. The current owner is very handy and enjoys tinkering in his garage. He has a great setup that allows him to do quite a bit of work himself. Plus, he has help from a good friend of his who is also a Porsche tech at the local Porsche dealer. Recently, he performed the following services:
Oil service
Spark plugs
Coil packs inspected
Air filter
Clutch safety switch
Furthermore, a DME report was run showing zeros in all 6 ranges.
This GT3 is in excellent shape and clearly a well-cared for example. I doubt it has ever been on the track as the paint is in too good of shape. All the metal surfaces are original and wearing their original paint. It was verified with a paint meter as well. The front bumper was painted in the past and shows hardly any signs of use. The color is slightly darker than the rest of the car. There are hardly any flaws on the body. For the miles and age, it’s in superb condition. The glass is in good shape with no cracks. There is one small chip that’s been professionally filled. All the glass are wearing their proper factory stampings. The windshield appears to be original and has one small chip and some light road rash. All the exterior lights work. The original wheels look near perfect and are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires with at least 75% life remaining. They are date stamped the end of 2018 and were installed in 2019. The brakes appear to have around 75% life remaining on the front and about 50% on the rear.
The interior is very clean as well. The leather seats have no tears or rips and some light wear on the exit bolsters. The Alcantara finishes on the steering wheel, shifter, and seats are showing some mild wear, but no stains. The carpet and headliner look fresh with no significant blemishes. The door panels show little to no wear as well. The dash has no cracks or other issues. All the gauges work properly. The minute and second hands on the sport chrono clock have fallen off. Also, the driver side cup holder doesn’t latch in place. The A/C blows cold. The factory radio has been removed and is included with the car. A Bluetooth Kenwood unit has been installed and works great. All the interior lights operate properly as well.
The engine compartment, trunk, and underside are in top condition and look as good if not better than examples I’ve seen with sub 10k miles. It is clear that it was never abused. The engine area is very tidy with no signs of major issues. There is some very light oil weeping at the rear main seal, which is very common. In fact, an article by Excellence magazine addressed this as common and normal for these cars that aren’t used daily. “Ultimately, it is normal to see some engine oil seepage in the RMS area of GT3 models due to the unique design of the seal.” – Excellence 2008
This GT3 comes with owner’s manuals in vinyl case, original maintenance booklet, 1-key, tools, wheel lock key, tire pressure gauge, tire repair kit, air compressor, and original radio.
