Bought a "New" to me 05' GT3
I've been searching for a newish TT for awhile, Found this car for sale in my searches. The car is in fantastic condition and PO was asking what I considered to be a very good price. Anyhow instead of a TT I bring home a GT3. I Picked it up in Phoenix and drove it back to Lafayette, 1400 miles of fun.
Here are a few obligatory pics (some taken by the PO and a few by me).

Never in a million years would I park a car of that caliber under a tree.
Oh yeah, congrats!

Congratulations Phil, I believe that is Luis's old car. A lot of posts on it @ 6 speed.com. It sounds likes it's track ready and fast!

Too cool!!! I'd love to put either a 996 TT or GT3 in the garage, but the nod would have to go to the GT3.

Nice! I'm trying to get the nerve to buy an '05 myself.....something keeps saying nothing good will come of it. The 1400 mile drive HAD to have been great.

Excellent choice. The GT3 is a keeper from where I sit. I hope to be in one myself in a few years. Prices are getting downright attractive aren't they ?

It looks like you scored.
What are the mods if any? I'd love to test drive that beast!

Congrats, that is so sweet!
The GT3 is IMO the absolute model of choice in any iteration. Did you get the first series Mk1 in US?
