What Should I do??

Was in Jersey today and on my way home I saw a Mint GT2 at the dealer.

I currently have a 05 TTs -Blk/Blk coupe and I saw a 2003 blk/blk GT2 and fell in love!!
I thinits gonna be around 15k to make the switch and I was real close to doing that deal. The Gt2 had 8900 miles and I have about 3000 miles.
The car was immaculate and had a few good options. I dont know if I should just wait to make a move when the 997TT comes out or should I make this move.

What would you do??

I am real close to doing it and what do you think I should do??

I would take the GT2 in a second over the TT. As you know the GT2 is alot more car in more areas than one.

They were asking 135900 for the GT2 and it was clean as hell.

But then again, my car is ****in bran new and I think thats alot to make that move. I think 5 or 10k tops is more like it..

As much a I hate to say it that asking too much, negotiate with them.
As far as getting it def. do it if you can.
But the price is a little over the top for a GT2 with almost 9k miles on it.

GT2 for me. I would take a 996 Gt2 over the 997TT we have seen in recent pics. It is/should be a better performer than the 997TT as well.

Yes it was at Ray Catena. It had red stitching as well as red belts.
I offered 10K plus my car. I will NOT do any more than that. I feel thats fair enough.
Again, I have a TTs Blk/Blk with about 3000 miles and super clean..
I feel that a dealer will be able to sell my car alot quicker than that GT2.

Kevin, 996 GT2 over the 997 TT gets my vote, you want rare and raw, do it.

P.S. You looked good sitting in the GT2 that day.
