I love the car. If you are getting that much grief on the tail lights I'd probably just swap mine (Stock RS) for yours as I like that look...

Paint wheels are not vey expensive. If the buyer gets tired of the red just paint them silver or black. I like white.

I'd say it's only the tail lights that are holding potential buyers back (silly or not)
GLWS!

Default Thx.

Keep all the opinions coming , I do appreciate them. I actually had white wheels on a black car. I loved them. I offered to buy a serious buyer new oem tails, bout all I can do there. Having the wheels done is about 600. I checked into it.

I was actually talking to someone about these cars. So much value you get with these. OP, good luck with the sale.

I also think GT2s are a bargain, and this one is a gem. More performance and same (if not stronger) rarity than a 4.0 RS. Mezger. 4.0s are $300k+ while this one @ 3k miles can't sell for $150k? Go figure. Better times are ahead for this car in terms of valuation. Ten years from now it will be much closer in price to a 4.0 RS than it is now. I wish I had space and time for another GT car.

Wheels and tail lights will not deter a serious buyer. GLWS!

I spent the better part of 5 hrs with Matt's GT2 yesterday doing a light polish and seal on the car.

It's possibly the most perfect example I've seen from a physical condition standpoint and esp for a black car. All it took was a light polish to bring it back to perfect. There is no paint work, no dings, no large scratches, it's a prime example.

Blah blah blah wheels and tail lights. If you want a perfect black GT2 this is it.

From the pictures and description, this is likely an amazing car, well cared for. GT2 is where refinement meets brute force; very special indeed. GLWS.

ppl complain gmg about wheel color and lights aren't buyers
150 car, that's a easy 2000 fix.
I simply don't like gt2, if that's a 3, it's in my garage.

buyer will step,to the plat soon, amd if Andy says paint work is good... then it is good

Thought seriously about selling my car for this one. Mepps, your car is simply stunning. Any person who walks from the car over wheel color or tails is a moron. Probably the same type of people who walk away from houses because they don't like the wall colors Best of luck with your sale.

I don't think it's the wheels the tails.....I think it's the fact it's a gt2, more limited market. If it were a gt3 it woulda sold day one.


Quick Reply: my gt2 is up for grabs
