I found a 2008 gt2 - no miles (40) for sale the other day . . .

what is this car worth?

thx

 

once you drive it, less than 150

herb chambers in boston has had a silver 08 forever...

 

They sure have. I was browsing the Porsche showroom while I waited for the inspection to be completed on my BMW. I spoke with the gentleman there, and it seems they haven't been able to find a buyer for a while. He told me the bottom line, and I couldn't believe it at first.

Keep in mind that this was a few months ago, and now they may even take less.

 

What was the bottom line out of curiosity?

 

190k was the bottom line back then, but I know they still have it. So although it seems enticing, I guess one can be had for less?

 

Porsche dealer in Newport Beach, California just sold a mint condition GT2 with less than 2000 miles on it for 190K.

 

Wow, I got mine w/ 400 miles on it (previous owner scared himself) for way less than 190k on a 210k MSRP car.

 

Congratulations on getting a good deal. I just did a search and found the listing on eBay Motors for the GT2 at Herb Chambers. Their 'buy it now' price is still 190k, and I want to say the car has something like 43miles on the odometer.

I remember a thread you posted when you made your purchase; I think black looks great on the new GT2. Enjoy it in good health; it sounds like you got a great deal on it.

 

I think most dealers are delusional if they think they're getting 190k on a car like this with a very limited buyer profile in this market. Especially w/ the 2010 TT w/ PDK (and maybe S version) coming out, which appeals to a far broader audience. Bringing a GT2 RS over at 250k+ MSRP in this market would be ridiculous, IMHO.

 

I completely agree with your sentiments. In my experience, I have found dealers that are located in relatively large markets (i.e., metropolitan areas) are the least flexible on price and would rather let the car sit than move it at a discount (and still make something off the deal).

In retrospect, 190k doesn't sound like a deal at all. I am not an expert on these cars or their relative value with respect to making a transaction; however, I think they would have to take another 5% off the bottom line to sweeten the deal. I will go as far as to say that this IS a buyer's market, and I think the days of free-wheelin' deal-makin' easy bank financin' are well behind us. All of this factors into the probability of making a transaction within a respectable timeframe.

These are just my two cents.

 

even on their website, it is 189k and change...its an 08 also

crazy

used ones have sold for 150s and some lower

great car, but the prior generation was nicknamed "the widowmaker" for a reason

 

150k is actually pretty good. Is it possible that i can get a even better deal if i wait until Jan 10? A 08 GT2 would become 2 model year old.

 

it is now essentially 2 years old...either find one that hasnt been used by a private party or buy one at a dealer cpo

 

There are several low mileage, pre-owned ones for sale, with existing warranties, from $140-166K (MSRPs of $213-219K). The prices keep falling...I would love to graph the decline in price over time. It seems to be a car that was launched at the wrong time in the wrong place.

 

How long is the CPO wrannty good for?

Does it make a big difference if i wait until Jan 2010 to make the purchase or lease?

There are plenty of them on the market,so i don't mind to wait a little bit for a even better deal.
