My GT2 has about 36k miles and drives like a dream... I also drove my friend's gt2 that has 19k miles and it feels the same.

Test drive that gt2 u wanna buy or fined one to test drive.


If the car is clean and healthy don't let it go ...

Also make up ur mind are going to drive it or pitches it as investment ...


Good luck

Thanks, that is a beautiful car. Six previous owners - likely a track car but then I like track cars.
Current owner has held the car for 5 months.

I think having the dealer involved may give me more opportunity at short term financing and reduce my liability for sale tax due to my trade in.

I thought that in order to enjoy the sales tax reduction for the trade-in, the transaction had to occur within a State that provides that benefit or maybe the requirements vary with the State in which the car is being registered.

Thankfully, that is not the case in Massachusetts.

Why a track car? It doesn't have the bucket seats or harnesses...

Just my impression. Six owners, each low mileage, mostly southern locations. Steering wheel, pedals, really should not make a judgement from photos.

I do know that it takes only 12 bolts to remove the rollbar, harness and bucket seats from my GT3. About an hour - being extra careful.

Get the white one.
question: are you going to arrange a retail buyer for your gt3? if not won't the dealer pay you under market for your trade in?
I would definitely deal with your local dealer on this.
Good luck and enjoy!

I don't know if you are still interested in a 996 GT2, but when I picked up my 7.2 GT3 at Pristine Imports (AR), I saw a nice 6 GT2 with 40K miles, $105K, looked perfect.

The presentation of the white GT2 is very good. Also nice contrast between the white exterior and the black wheels. Good luck in your decision.

Not yet. I have seen a few cars but not the right one.
