Default Trade a 2010 GT3 for a 2008 GT2

Guys, does trading a CPO 10 GT3 for a non CPO 3 owner low mileage loaded 08 GT2 make sense or will I be kicking myself in a few months.

Will also require some cash from me to make this happen?

Thoughts??

I wouldn't trade a .2 GT3 for a .1 GT2.

I wouldn't either. A few less 997.1 GT3RS made, but 997.2 has upgraded engine and having CPO on your current car is significant.

Personally wouldn't trade a CPO car for a non CPO 3 owner car. But do you need a GT3 and a GT3 RS?

Unless all you do is drag race. I'd keep the GT3.

with a 997.1RS in the driveway i wouldnt bother with owning a 997.2GT3.

i also wouldnt bother looking to add a GT2.

But to answer you question, no. I would not trade a CPO 997.2GT3 plus cash for a non CPO 997.1 three owner GT2....

I would trade in a heart beat, specially if you have a 997RS.

I owned a well sorted 996 GT2 and regret selling to this day.

Hey Mark I think I saw you the other day ??

Dont trade you will be bored in 2 weeks. If you just want that straight line rush, get a PDK turbo S. Faster than 08 gt2 and about same price.

Cause they are trying to kick the habit, they try to get you hooked to boost also. Like heroin, I suppose.

I would not trade my (sorted) GT2 for a GT3/GT3RS + cash. GT2 or Cup FTW

The boost is addicting.......... Give it a drive and if you are still not sure then, keep the GT3.
