Wow, props to the guy who put 54k miles on his!
I'd venture to guess a majority of GT2 buyers are looking for barely driven examples, since the cars were pretty exclusive and limited and have good collector potential later on.

PNH has three for sale:
Orange ultra low miles $415K.
Sillver low miles $189.
Yellow low miles $249K.
Color appears to be the only difference in list price. But, i can easily see a $60K+ difference in high mile versus low mile.

I'm curious- I've been looking (haven't done a deep dive yet) at two 2008 GT2's for sale in Houston, one yellow and one gray. The yellow has a longer list of gingerbread options and less miles (6,600) but the gray is nicely optioned too with a lot more miles (54K if I recall). The only difference between them appears to be the miles yet the delta between the two is approximately $60K. Do GT2 miles really count that much? Coming from the TT/TTS world miles do make a slight difference but it's not that excessive.
I think if you want a "museum car" and no drive it much get the low mile one. If you want a "driver" get the higher mile one. The level of enjoyment from driving shouldn't be different as long as the consumable items are in same condition(tires, brake pads, alignment, spark plugs).
All GT2's are special.

That delta is equivalent to having coolant pipes welded like 10x. LOL

We just took in a Black one and we just had to change the exhaust out to make it "smog" legal for CA, the vacuum pump and a few other items - great car though...

Thanks everyone for your advice, willingness to share your GT2 knowledge and opinions, and "offers". I've completed my research and due diligence and determined that a 2008 GT2 is not a good fit for me going forward. My TTS sits too much already and I'm afraid a low mile GT2 would see even less use. These cars require spirited exercise and should not be viewed as future garage queen collectibles although they probably are. So when it's time (TBD) I may look for a 2010 6MT 997.2 GT3 or, I may even keep my .2 TTS which is a great all-around car. Who knows. Thanks again.
