When Porsche refreshed the 997, they made sure to remind us all that the GT3 is still very much a track-focus car and was set up as such. We saw much stiffer suspension added, as well as a switch to center-lock wheels to save weight. A cool party trick, but extremely frustrating for the weekend warriors that actually track their GT3s. You did get an increase of 20 horsepower and 17 lb-ft of torque thanks to hotter cams with greater valve lift and the addition of variable valve timing to the exhaust cams. If you sprung for the extremely expensive carbon-ceramic brakes, that shaves 44 pounds from the braking system. High entry costs didn’t stop a lot of people from racking up miles in these cars and we have a perfect example of that with this 2010 for sale in California.

Nearly 52,000 miles in one of these is no small feat. This one looks to be a California car from new so that explains a little of it, but that is a lot of stiff miles. As far as options car, this one is pretty heavy with the aforementioned carbon-ceramic brakes, a front-axle lift system, dynamic engine mounts, Sport Chrono, a bunch of carbon-fiber trim, and some other goodies. The sticker price came in at just under $148,000 back in 2010, and now some 12 years later, you can guess what the asking price is.
To me, a $165,000 seems a tad bit high given the mileage. Even more so given we saw a 11,000-mile car sell for $170,000 a few weeks ago. Just like the GT3 RS from last week, the supply on these is very small so it is really hard to shop around. It is more of a process of waiting to see what pops up. I think if you have time to wait, a better deal might be out there.

The GT3 market has been trending down in the last dew weeks based on online auction results. Which is understandable considering how much appreciation they have seen. This one has a lot of miles, but someone may be willing to pay the asking price. To me this is definitely a sub $150k car.
