Looking For A GT2?

[ekam]

It could've been in an accident and was not reported to insurance. Paint might not be original. Nobody can prove otherwise unless they go look at the car in person.

It's got 3 owners and none of them drive it much.

Report says "Fleet, Rental and/or Lease Use Record(s) Reported to AutoCheck". So it could be a lease or a rental.

PCCB rotors might need to be replaced as they can wear prematurely if the car was tracked. CPO do not cover this. They're about $8000 a pair.

At that price, I'll take two...

I can almost guarantee you guys that this is a typo. The car is probably on sale for $179,000.

It retailed for $280 new, right? This seems to be the logical explanation.

I tell you what... I'll call or email them later today to get the skinny on it.

I think the price may be correct. The Porsche web-site also lists the following GT2's:

2002 $89.9 9,000 miles
2003 $108 27,000 miles

Sheesh. Talk about supercar depreciation!

I saw a MINT GT2 (red) forget the year... with almost non-existent miles and tons of upgrades get no interest on Ebay and some of the other forums for $100K.

Porsche prices were marked up in a buying climate that was full of credit for everyone. That's only a shadow of its former self now so no one is buying new which kills the prices of the used. Unless really rich people start buying used cars you're going to see some drastic price drops for their "left overs".

+1.

And the new 997 is out...the new 997 turbo is coming...and the new GT2's and GT3's are coming.

I think the fleet/lease stuff usually means it was a company car. You'd be surprised how many of the 911's are company cars.

As for the PCCB...you can also just go to the big reds.

Did anyone read the original post? It's a 2003... Not a 2008.

No, $180k price, no PCCB's...

Still not a bad price to start from, at a dealer no less.

The 2003 GT2 has PCCB's as standard equipment. You can see it listed in the link. First item, too. The yellow calipers are a dead give-away too, if you're not a "poser"!

Forwarding it to my Dad. He said he wants another Porsche.

I love how a car costing three times mine doesn't come with the same aluminum gauge rings...unless you pay extra for it.

As for the price, Its great and all but that kind of performance can be had with a regular Turbo and some serioous modifcations from shops who are dying for work right now. I guess the rear wheel drive thing is the only catch.

PL, but it would also have to go on a significant diet though. The GT2 is a few hundred pounds lighter than a 996TT.

Everybody knows it won't make a slight difference if it's black or silver, yet there's people who would pay money to change it.

Same thing for those silly door sills, GT2 has the exact same door sill as mine but instead it says "GT2". There are people that would pay to upgrade to a set of aluminum or carbon fibre door sills.
