B careful if you are buying at Marshall Goldman. Two years ago they made me drive 350 miles to look at a 996 TT after having confirmed the car didn't have any painted panels including the bumpers.

When I got there, as soon as I entered the building , I saw the front bumper to body color mismatch was so bad that even Stevie Wonder could have seen that.

The car had 20K plus miles with an asking price of $56,000.

I was so pissed at those monkeys a Marshal GM that I left the store without even looking at the rest of the car.

I had such a high expectations of Marshall Goldman and visiting and having dealt with them only reinforced my believe, that no matter how exotic the store looks, they are after all a used car dealerships with scum bag sales people.

Thank you. No, person close to Hudson (small town SE Cleveland). Been to MGM several times - they have lots of cars.

I went to MG to look at a silver Ferrari 550. I live in Ohio. After twenty minutes listening to the salesman talk about his personal 550 I left.

I'd also be able to look at it, but probably not until this weekend.

I have had to go on hold due to some personal health issues...going under the knife in 3 hrs. (not good) but no worries....so early in January I will be mobile again.
(This particular car is a silver 03 6GT2 private seller. I used to have a 6GT2 and still have a soft spot. I also bought. 964Turbo in the past week that I have not picked up yet. I have also been busy selling many of my other cars...frankly significantly downsizing to a couple of 911's and maybe keep one mustang.)

Honestly, if it came down to 964 Turbo or 996 GT2, I'd take the 964 Turbo. Hopefully you can have both!
Good luck with your procedure!
