Would you guys buy that car? Why so cheap? I wouldn't mind to trade my Lambo for a GT2

Leo...probably not...this car is sitting on Ogden Ave in their lot under 2" of snow...may still be a good car, but it has been sitting outside for a long time. The car is modded and should get a thorough PPI. If you are interested, the dealer is OK and my friend just bought a Bentley from them. Did you notice that it is not a black car?

^it is red and not black...but it would go well with your pink Vespa and your cute little Smart car...
Having said that it is probably a decent car and would get you over your speed needs. Although a TurboS would be quicker.

Leo, good to see you are looking and might soon be in the Porsche family again...

We have room for at least one more at the table, lol!

Lol

I love the GT2 (you know that!) the body kit, the interior, etc.... It's a very special car. Do you think they will go up in value?

I wouldn't buy a Turbo S bc that car is gonna depreciate like crazy.... No?

If Porsche is in fact no longer making the GT2 variant then you have your answer. Turbo S likely not

Yes. I think that the GT2 will appreciate in time. Manual tranny, 3.6 Mezger, and very low volume...

Nice options on this GT2 like roof liner in leather. I think it looks great in Guards Red! It was tuned by Champion Motorsports!

Love this car! Red looks great too!

My future car will be a 2014 GT3. I'll wait a few years and hope for depreciation. Not sure it will fall quickly; local dealer had a full page of orders; waiting time is about 12 months.

I already did, I had a good friend from the forum going there and taking some pics for me...

I can't believe the dealer doesn't care much about this car being out in the snow...

I wouldn't touch that car, read that 6 speed thread. That thing was rode hard and put up wet. You get what you pay for, if its good it ain't cheap and if its cheap it ain't good. Resale on that car would be tough.
