Question Brand New 997 GT2 appraisal

+

A contact of mine, tell me of a 2009 GT2, almost brand new! (170 miles), that he's been offered, privately.

Full club sport package, including sport bucket seats, CF backs, coded roll cage.

As to color, declined mentioning, only described as "unusual for a sports car", hint of brown!!*

Owner cannot locate the whereabouts of "window sticker". Yet confirms: cost was $195k.

No asking price. Buyer to make offer...if interested.

Any idea what it would be worth, ...from buyer's point!

Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

*Owner suggest, selling due to dis-like of color (doesn't fit the image of sport's car) !!!

You can get a list of factory options installed if you have the VIN. The extreme low miles would actually deter me. If it MSRP'ed at $195k, three years of depreciation would bring it to about $140k, maybe less if the color is truly awful. As they say in the car business, there's an *** for every seat. Good luck!

For what its worth, unless I were buying the car to look at, I would be scared of a 3 year old car with such few miles.

I just bought a 2 year old with 800. No problem.
It has 4000 now, maybe time to exchange it for a GT2 with 175....

Bring the GT2 down properly setup and good tires for my test drive already!
I bet I can get this traded and CPO-ed. You and the local shops can help me along from there.
