08 GT2 Available at Stead, Walnut Creek, CA

If the GT3RS was any indication of the supply/demand phenomenon that will likely occur with the 2008 GT2, then I know some of you guys will appreciate knowing that Stead has one available, and you can still build to order. They're asking $50k over.

If you buy it, all I ask is that you let me see it.

If you need contact info, PM me, or use Google.

GT2 is a nice car but not as collectible as an RS just IMHO

i thought the gt2 was supposed to be *** collectable...it must get so much *** in its seats, it doesn't know what to do with it all...



jk...


But personally, I am more a fan of the GT2...I just love raw, unharnessed power!

JAJAAA ..
What I am trying to say is that I don't think that the same phenomenon will occur with the GT2,like I said it is a very cool car but an RS car is always more desirable or COLLECTABLE JAJAAA

I don't know if the GT2 is still available, but I feel compelled to give props to Stead's service department. They provide the best service of any dealership I've ever done business with. They're professional and friendly, they diagnose accurately, they solve my problems quickly, and they're careful with the car (there's never even the slightest sign that anyone touched a thing inside or outside the car). Not only that, they look after me when the car needs work from other vendors (paint, for example). These guys go above and beyond.

I want my wife's next car to be a Porsche merely so that I can take it to Stead for service. No joke.

I can believe that experiences will differ, but it's hard to imagine that I can have such an amazing experience and you would have the opposite. What happened?

I will also vouch for Stead's Service. Anthony is the only one that touches my car.

Hopefully they'll showcase the car when it arrives, at least for a few days. My office is not too far from them.

I dunno. I went twice. The first time to inquire about fixing my keyless entry, the service manager didnt even look at me and just said $350! And i was like $350? To replace a key?! And without looking up he was like Yup. The second time i went in to talk with a sales manager about a possible trade in, walked around for 5 minutes before i finally had to ask someone about speaking to a sales manager. Not one person on the floor asked if i needed help.

But it seems that the general consensus is pretty good so maybe i'll give them another try.

Must've been an off day. Most of the folks there are really friendly. And low pressure, which I prefer to being bombarded. Give 'em another try.
