I agree that car is amazing! I hate to see it out there in the snow! That thing must be incredibly quick.. If the work was done by Champion I wouldn't shy away from the mods.. I love the red!

Totally agree Runner.. I have seen two near my house. A red one and a white one. In my opinion the new 991 GT3 is far better looking than the new TT. And the sound is amazing! I want one!

Accident history, multiple owners, mods, gumball rally, I think I'd pass.

True too many bad things and it's only 10-15k less than the rest of the GT2 in the market...

If it were under a $100 you could buy it and turn it into a track car and just run it hard...or run the Texas mile or the Silver State Classic...

I know... Maybe if they lower the price to 100k I will consider to trade it for my car... I don't like red but I could always wrap it!

I saw a black 08 go for 105k, no issue other than 30k miles, I'd keep looking. Gt2s, while my favorite turbo, have never been known for strong resales.

Tax season! Will the prices go down or they will go up?

If you can already buy a 991 Turbo S for 180k I don't think the 997 GT2 is gonna be up in price for a very long time...
