Because they are used car dealers .... and they are always working angles ... ever meet a used car salesman who did not have an angle?

This one doesn't look as good as the first one posted. The gap on the right side of the hood looks too wide and the drivers seat is VERY worn for 20,000 miles. It may have been wrecked in the past. Definitely get it inspected by an independent source.

Thought I would throw this in since it's a GT2 thread.

If anyone is interested in a 2004 GT2 with under 2k miles on the clock, PM me and I can forward the contact info of the owner to you. Asking a tad bit below $150k.

Did anyone here buy this GT2? If so, please contact me. It used to be mine. I returned it to the leasing company when my 997 GT3 arrived. No known damage, but I was the second lessee. I may have an extended warranty for it that is still in force.

The steering feels twitchy, and the car bobs and dances over bumps. At speed, the rear end feels loose.

This was the first time that I have tracked this car, it felt very different than my 996 TT. I always thought that the GT2 and GT3 were cousins in regards to track performance.

I consider myself a novice to low intermediate driver, so I let my buddy , an advanced GT3 driver, try it. When I rode in his car at speed, I knew something was wrong. He felt unsafe also. Any comments or knowledge of places in the Bay Area that can diagnose the problem?

Thanks
Good to see that the car was never tracked and didn't have any issues...

The orindaed post that SleeperX is quoting is from 14 months ago. So what we have here is a GT2 with 30K plus miles and apparently some serious issues that is going for mid 80's. It is thus NOT evidence that pristine low mileage GT2's are going for far less than 100K (as doom sayers like Oak believe).

Actually, the car is in great shape. I took really good care of it. I did not feel like investing $5-6K to make the car handle the way the way I'd like.

I think that somebody will be very happy with the car....after they rework the suspension. Just my opinion, but I'd still rather have a new GT3. Honestly, it's an older car, so it won't feel like a brand new vehicle.

The price seems fair...I could have bought the car from the leasing company for $75K, but I did not want the hassle of reselling it.

Anyway, good luck to whoever buys it. Please drive it first and do your due diligence before plunking your money down.
