Why do you want to sell? You have one of the last Metzger motors in one of the greatest true sports car of all time. Do some more power mods and keep her forever.

 

Agree! Why would you even consider selling both and taking another bath on a GT2RS. You are just giving money away. Porsche's do not hold value like that, buy new, take bath, simple as that.

You have a 2008 GT2 with 3k miles on it!! Hows about driving the thing? You're about to have spent $27 per mile driven on that car.

 

Like I said in your FS thread, post some interior pics and more exterior pics of the car. There are a few interested buyers out there it seems like (including myself) and more pics will be very helpful.

Also, how is the clutch holding up with these mods on the car? Is it just a matter of time before it slips and will need a replacement?

Any imperfections on the car including minor ones? How about a carfax?

These are things you should have posted in your ad that may or may not help you sell the car, but I know as a buyer these are questions I would want answered.

 

Actually, I was working on a deal for a GT2RS, but the dealership was giving me some really low offers on my cars and wanting $230K for the RS. I am also looking at a 2009 Scuderia. I don't want to pay a premium right now for a GT3RS 4.0 or that would be an option as well :-)

I like the GT3RS over the GT2 because of how raw the car feels and provides the experience of a true track car. I am in love with the exhaust note and the NA motor. The handling is just incredible. It is so much tighter and more predictable, in my opinion, than the GT2.

 

Yea, it has the TUBI Race exhaust with the 200 cell cats on it. I have kept all the OEM parts.

 

I attached the car fax to the Cars.com ad I have up. The car is clean and has a full front clear bra. No imperfections at all or minor swirl marks. I have some interior shots that I just sent to an individual that I will post in my for sale section thread.

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Q

 

Cole, I need your hook up at Park Place. They are giving me such low ball offers lol!!

 

You have 2 great cars and are just itchy for a new toy. GT2 RS isn't going to give you much more than you already have, and while the 4.0 is nice too, you'll take another bath eventually. As earlier poster said, high-end Porsche (like almost everything else) depreciates a lot. Nice as your car is, for 130K someone can buy maxed out 991 S getting full warranty and whatnot. This is 99.8% of the buyers out there who would pick new over yours. Also since they keep bringing great cars along, very few "formerly great" ones hold their value, however limited in production (see 996 GT2). Your choices are few: 1) hold out for that one special buyer that comes along who knows when and pays your price or 2) unload it now and take the beating. As for what you replace it (them) with you can either: 1) Buy new again adding insult to injury (doesn't matter if you have the $$ to burn and don't care) or 2) get something nice that's a few years old (like 430 Scud) to minimize the damage.

 

Did this car have lots of CF on it? Dymag wheels?

 

Put an ad out to SWAP for the car you want ... you never know... good luck!!

 

Go for the Scud. That car is in a different league than a GT3. It has the raw feeling you are looking for and the sound is just intoxicating.

 

I would keep what you own, you have two amazing cars. Why take the loss at all by selling. Just get some use out of your cars before moving them. Grass is always greener. To each his own I suppose. But for me I like your cars.

 

That is the reason im not going to buy new again. Depreciation is huge these days...

 

I have just learned to accept over the years that money spent on mods is just unrecoverable. I LOVE moding my machinery, and making it unique, mine, better faster stronger, but the buyers market generally is not interested. They see the model, and price, and that is as far as the equation goes for the vast majority of consumers. They want a nice Porsche, in great shape, at the lowest price. The fact that you may have $10,000 worth of headers and exhaust just makes the car 10K more expensive than the same car somewhere else, in their minds (not ours). In some cases it can even make your toy worth less than the stock version. I have been there. It was an expensive lesson.

I agree with most of the previous posts on here. Patients is your best tactic.

I also have a GT2, with some pretty damn cool mods! It is worth infinitely more to me than it ever will be to anyone else. Knowing that, makes it an even more pleasurable experience to own and enjoy.

Best of luck with whatever you decide for your sportscar future.

 

That is usually happens. I mean why i should be interested on a 10.000$ set of sportec wheels? Or a 5.000$ sound system?
