Default Pre-Delivery GT3-RS available in Toronto

I have an All-Black (exterior, wheel, interior, etc) RS coming in April but I have recurring back problems and can't drive any sports car for more than 20 minutes without having issues. Had two herniated disk in last 4 months.

Don't mind keeping an 911 around for the occasional week-end drive but a brand new RS is too much money to leave lying around if the car isn't used much.

I'm not looking to make money, all I ask is that the buyer buys it from my salesrep so that she doesn't lose the sales commission.

PM me if you have serious interest.

My contract is at MSRP, so I can't imagine that if I find a replacement customer they would try to sell at a higher price.

What's MSRP in Canada? My guess is close to mark up prices here. Good deal for someone up there.

Peachboy I am sorry about your back I have 2 herniated disks myself and have to go to pain management. No fun and I am sorry you have the same problem. I can tell you the 997 is softer than the 996 (in 997 normal mode) you might be able to get away with it. IF all else fails let me know and I will trade you.
GT3 for RS. Seriously though I am so sorry for you. I hope you get better.

Keep the car! Enjoy it 20 minutes at a time if you must, but enjoy it...

btw, the RS looks so much better without the cheesy decals!

Hi all,

Thanks for all of those who expressed interest. To be fair for everyone I will try to deal with interest on a first come basis (whoever sent me the first message). I'd like to make this as orderly as possible without creating issues for myself or the dealer. As I said, my goal is to find a replacement buyer since my name is on the purchase contract I feel it's my duty to organise my replacement so that the dealer can't claim any "damages" and nail me with my deposit and the trade-in (40 anniversay 996) that I already gave them. As far as list price and option one of my previous post stated these details. Again please note that this is a Canadian destined car...not sure how to deal with a potential buyer outside of Canada but open to it nonetheless. cheers.
