Hello

I’m considering buying a 997 GT3 and I’m hesitating between 3 clean cars (no accident, original paint, clean piwi, good service history).

1. 997.1, white, Club Sport, 28k km
2. 997.2 white, Club Sport, 50k km
3. 997.1 guards red, Carbon buckets, PCCB, 16k km … but it’s 15k$ more expensive than the other 2 😉

I like them all three (they are not super different) for different reasons:
- I would do a few track days a week but don’t ‘need’ the harness and the roll bar that come with the CS (although I like them 😂).
- Guards red is not that common on GT3s and I like the color pop very much
- obviously the lower the mileage the better from a value retention and reliability perspective. 16k vs 50k is meaningful
- I’m kind of neutral when it comes to 997.1 vs 997.2 with a slight preference for 997.2 (engine / power and style).

Which one would you choose if you’d like the car to loose as little value as possible in the long run? And why ?

While shopping for a 997.1 GT3 I came across those two different designs for silver wheel centers?

Would you know if one is after market and the other not or if those were two different options ? Feels like the black lettering is the usual one and I wonder where the transparent lettering one is coming from ..

Thanks.
