I sold my 997 GT3 a few months ago and again... it's feeling a little lonely in the garage. I'm toying with the idea of buying a 2008 GT2. Actually at this point, it's way more than toying.

I've spoken with a few dealers and quickly remember how much "fun" it is buying a car from a new car dealer. I hate dealing with all the nonsense.

The economy is not great and I know they are discounting. I'm still feeling the sting of buying my GT3 HIGH and selling it LOW.

For a one-model year old 2008 GT2 with delivery miles only, what would be a good price to pay for one of these in this economy?

Thanks.

I've read on 6speed last week that someone was offered a brand new GT2 for $150K from a Porsche dealer.

I would be a buyer for that car.

Go for it George.

You wouldn't happen to have a link, would you?

link enclosed. If it doesn't work, go on 6speed and look for the title "new gt2 at $150K". Good Luck.

Thanks !!

Just one sample point. I picked up a pristine 2008 with 1500 miles for 180k. I pushed the price on several cars and this is the first one ready to deal.

Thanks for sharing.
How recent was the transaction?
Private sale, or dealer?

If you want a used one with less than 3k miles in white let me know. I have a friend that is looking to sell his and he is motivated. MSRP was around 205k.

Sale was two weeks ago and from a dealer. Hope that helps. I don't know if this was a good, great or bad price but I was happy with the deal.

At the time it probably was a good deal, since nobody else came to the table. We're in a changing market and prices are softening radipdly. Good luck with the car!

George - didn't you get the Memo? That we're in a friggin' recession, that conspicuous consumption is out...?

I'm usually ready to burst out with "howls with derision™" (Phyton) when someone writes something like "prices are softening rapidly" (with or without the correct spelling) but having just looked at 997 prices (and '09 inventory levels) and the Q4 announcement from Porsche, as well as RS's for sale and the trouble a couple of guys have had selling very good GT3's at insanely low asking prices ($95K) I think I have to agree that things are looking grim.

It was only a two or three months ago that $180K was an improbable number for a GT2, now it's a good sale. I still don't know that the $150K mentioned at 6spd is relevant to the general market, but it certainly indicates what's possible when a dealership gets to the point of wanting to move a car.

George - here's one, asking $185,900...
