yes I will sign the title of course but it is held by Chase Auto Finance. I can give you their number to discuss the details on how that will be handled. I do need to sign it, but they are the ones who hold it.
There is nothing that is trying to be covered up. I offered the car for 57K months ago, and it has not sold. Since then I have been out of the country which has complicated things. As a result I worked out a deal with Chase for them to take 9K less than my asking price to move this quick. As a result of the price so low now everyone freaks out, saying the car must be wrecked, it is a scam, the carpet is dirty (it was not in the photo, just light coming through the trees in the photo for crying out load). This entire process has been incredibly taxing on me.
The car is available for sale. It is right now sitting at the Porsche dealership in Austin. Feel free to call them and see if there is a car there. Also feel free to call Chase with any question you have on the title.
I am really worn out at this point

Regarding the title issue that many people seem to not be able to get over: When the car is a leased car, the title can be under the leasing company's name. When I purchased my GT3 a month ago, I wired the money to the leasing company, and the leasing company overnight the title to me.
I had never met the seller (fellow Rennlist member) in person nor did I have to in order to get the deal done.
I don't think that's uncommon / unusual.
Martin, good luck w/ the sell!! I think the car is a tremendous value!!

Martin,
I know others have stated and I concur, a very good price on a well spec'd GT3. i wish the budget allowed another car but I am still in the "I Have To Sell Some Cars" as I have to many.
As for the people pissing about the title, it is a straight forward deal where you pay off the loan and the bank release's the title and the seller signs and it is yours. Don't get hung up in the fact it is a Short Sale. Martin was able to negotiate a reduced payoff, more power to him.

I totally agree with Martin, a lot of ******** came out from the woodwork for no reason. Martin is legit and doesn't deserve this bull****. What the **** is wrong with some of you guys?
This is why I recently gave advice to someone selling their car, to NOT sell it on rennlist. Way too much drama.

Martin/others;
I won't comment on any of the back and forth between individual members, but I did not receive answers to my questions until after I posted about it in your thread. The two emails you've sent me looked nearly identical, and felt like they were copied/pasted... That sort of response simply wouldn't do, considering the questions these circumstances arise in prospective buyers. I've bought over 40 cars in the last 8 years personally, and only had to deal with a bank twice, neither involved the "owner" of the car being out of the country. In fact, the only reason I didn't write off this car was that you'd been around for some time. I say that as someone who has absolutely no problem with a "tracked" GT3 by the way. It sucks that you're having problems, though from buyers' perspective, there's reasons to shy away from deals like this, and it's not the fault of "Rennlist".

This thread is ****ing ridiculous. I am trying to sell a car and all I get are people posting pictures of wrecked cars and saying that I am trying to run a scam or something. If you have a beef with me or questions for me, feel free to ask me. I am happy to answer every question asked.

Just got back from seeing Martin's car and test driving it. It's an amazing machine! The air on the back right tire was low but the Roger Beasley guys took care of it and checked the tire pressure on all the tires.
I've driven a 2008 911S but never a GT3 and there was a world of difference. Amazing handling and incredible power. A couple of things I noticed was there was a slight squeal from the brakes when braking esp during turns. The radio also did not seem to work. Other than that, the body looked very nice and the interior looked good as well.

It is really a shame that this is happening. This is exactly the reason I hate selling cars on here. These jack asses want to dig up a bunch of old posts to try and to make you look bad.
Martin - Your car is a great deal and I hope you get it sold buddy.

Feel for the seller here as a lot of commentary from people with no interest in buying (damn I guess that makes me one of them!).
I can't believe how cheap GT3s have got of late. This has to be the bottom of the market. They are too good to get any cheaper.

I'm going a bit off the seller now too though... Randomly deleting posts etc. 
Depresses me when people wet themselves that a car has been on track though. GT3s are for drivers not onanists.
