Default GT2 available in SF bay area

I'm about to trade in my GT2. I thought that someone here could want to jump on this opportunity and offer a little more than the dealer. The car is:

- 2003 GT2, warranty until 6/11/07
- Seal gray / natural grey interior (almost black)
- 15k miles
- center console silver
- alpine receiver with Sirius and iPod adapter in the glove box.
- GT3 seats, as well as stock sport seats

I have located and placed a deposit on a new car. I would like to move quickly and will accept any offer above 108k. Let me know if you want to see the car. It is in the SF bay area.

i have seen the car several times and knowing arnaud, this car is in immaculate condition.
at the asking price, it is a steal.

I'm getting a 997 S with aerokit. I just love that car. Not a lot of power / torque compared to GT2 but stunning. I'll probably upgrade to a 997 GT3 once it becomes available.

Beautiful GT2, I wish I was in the market - great price too. I cannot imagine trading "down" to a 997. I would not trade my 02 996TT for a 997 let alone a GT2.

The thing is, I can never use the GT2 power in the street, and I use a different car at the track. The CS will be perfect in the street, well, until the 997 GT3 shows up.

Guys. Sadly I killed the deal related to my new car today. As a result, the GT2 is no longer for sale.

I have been experiencing a negative experience with the dealer which has the car I wanted to buy and since I have decided to no longer do any business with them, I no longer have any car to buy.

I'll keep the GT2 until the 997 GT3 becomes available. I'm ordering from another dealer this week. I'll post again in a year or so when the GT2 will finally be available.

Thanks for all the emails.

Most Bay Area dealers really suck.

I bought my last car over the phone from Beverly Hills. Much better experience, much better price. I'll do exactly the same for my next car.

Most California delaers suck. I bought my car from Ohio. I ordered it and it was delivered 4 months later.

The dealers in California treat most clients like customers. As if we are buying a loaf of bread, not a $100k car.

I could go into why I believe this true, but I won't.

That being said, if you do find a great dealership, stick with them, they are becoming few and far in this state.

AW, sorry about your difficulties with the dealer ... everything happens for a reason.

I had my car sold last night and during the transaction, discovered a serious mis-communication which caused the whole thing to fall apart. I felt really bad for the buyer and myself.

As a result, there's still a GT2 for sale in the SoCal area

On Ebay Again
