Looking For A GT2? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

The local Porsche dealership has an 03 Guards Red with 15K mi, ceramic brakes, and CPO. I don't follow the prices on these (and in this economy how can you keep up?), but they've got it priced at $79K. Based on a quick scan on AutoTrader, that looks like a good price, but I don't know.

Woodhouse is excellent to deal with. If anyone wants me to look it over, drive it, and report back, I'd be more than happy to. :dance:

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Just goes to show everyone that buying new is for idiots with more money than common sense. GT2 CPO at 80k. Wow.

If it's too good to be true...

I'm curious, what do you think is too good to be true? It's not some Internet scammer on Craigslist, ebay, or Autotrader. The car is CPO'd, so it has to be in good condition. What surprises do you think are lurking?

Heck, the $79K is their starting point.

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.
