Any leads to low priced 997 GT2 ?

I have been watching for months now and it seems GT2's don't sell...

I want a low mileage garage queen, but need an excellent price

Is $ 115-120K realistic ?

Are these cars expensive to mantain ?

Widow makers or not ? I know they have SC + TC, this should help a lot !

I've seen them priced for $ 150K or more, never sell. And 2 at $ 130K or so, also not selling...

I need gurus to tell me about this car or show me a nice and accessible example, please, please !

For a low mileage garage queen? No.

Only real difference between a stock GT2 and TT, is frequency of spark plug changes.

More electronic gizmos than ever before. But if you do something foolish, you will regret it.

ABSOLUTELY!! Is 995 miles low enough for you? We have this rare WHITE one for sale right now! It's going for $154K....which is a bit higher then you hoped. But look at it this way....the sticker on this car was about $210. You're saving about $60K on a car with only 995 miles...not bad.

PM me if you're interested and I'll give you some contact info.

Why do GT2's go through spark plugs faster than the TT? What is the recommended cycle for plug replacement on the TT? Thanks.

GT2 service interval is 2 years for plugs, TT is 4 years...unless tuned - then most recommend 2 years as well.

I would think 120-130k for a sub 2k mile example would be reasonable.

My GT2

I paid 155K for mine completely loaded with 600 miles on the clock. They are out there but hard to find at under 125K. It's in the shop now for the infamous 3.8 ltr upgrade, complete GT2RS OEM body kit, upgraded drive trane, 68mm VTG's, completely new fuel system, significant suspension upgrades, safety features for car and driver, many obvious and several new and exciting additions . Another car built by CMS .

Leather is OK - alcantara looks and feels pretty bad after a year of hard driving in the heat.

Don't know about the steering wheel..

But price...two reasons: extremely low mileage, and it's white (RARE!)
