2008 GT2 Issues
I'm thinking about moving into a 2008 GT2. Does it have the same IMS bearing and coolant pipe issues that other TT cars have?

Same basic engine components. Main differences are the turbos, suspension, drive system and exterior bits.

Coolant pipes and cam sleeve slip.

No. 997.1TT and GT2 have the same camshafts that have a sleeve pressed on, the sleeve has holes to allow oil flow through. The sleeve can spin restricting oil flow or worst case complete blockage.

But it doesn't appear to be a common problem - yet. Perhaps given more time and miles it will but I don't want to start that discussion now.

Correct, GT2 trans have cooler. All GT2 have LSD, its optional on Turbo. There's some internal differences but I don't know every item, I do know that the items are interchangeable.

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.
