Good price for a GT2?

I turned down over $125K for my car a few months ago from a good friend who sold me the car in the first place.
Unless I can get a smoking deal on a black on black '04 or '05 with less than 1000 miles... my car ain't for sale. What the hell would I replace it with for the money? And what would I do with all my beautiful Porsche Motorsport parts???
If you have a pristine GT2 either new or you know its history, smart move is to keep it. 9 out of 10 owners I know who have sold their GT2s to move on to Stradales, 430s, Gallardos, etc. miss it dearly and long for another GT2.... Problem is that they have a hard time finding a super clean one with a known history or less than 1000 miles... like how the market was a couple of years ago. Funny how that works. GT2s are finally making their ways into owners garages who plan to keep them long term/indefinitely. It's simply the best 911 ever made, save for maybe the GT3-RS or the 993 GT2.

I posted an 03 Artic Silver GT2 with 9500 miles here on 6speed a few months ago. Car was perfect, never tracked, California Car, solid owner that I know personally (other members know him as well) and he sold it for 115K.

Another interesting aspect of pricing a GT2, besides the history is what has been done to it. Would my 2003 Seal Grey car be overpriced at $135K with 7,500 miles?
What if it had Europipe, Baily DV's, GIAC controller, carbon mirrors, wing, 996 Cup brakes, 2004 GT2 wheels, GMG roll bar, Moton Club Sports, full leather, small alum package, aluminium gauges, clear side markers, clear bra, original factory warranty until 4/15/08 (in service 4/15/04)? Then would it be overpriced?
My car's MSRP was $194K and has another $30K in it, plus the time and expense to set up the suspension correctly etc. There is a lot of value in the time spent getting the car to this level. If you simply want a low mile car, stock at a low price and the fun of doing all that stuff, then start looking, but when you are all done you will have a lot more in it then finding a good example, with low miles, good history and done right.
You get what you pay for. I am with Hamann7 - unless I can find an 05 I am sticking with what I got. I had an 05 offered to me that has the license plate, 1 of 7 and he was told it was the 7th '05 and the last GT2 built for the USA. MSRP of $201K, stock, GT Silver and he wanted $200K. I could not see adding $65K to my GT2 budget. However I told him at $155K that thing in in my garage tommorrow, my phone has not rung yet!
Good luck looking for a car. And as said here before you will not regret buying a GT2, it is an incredible car.

So the 2003 w/ TechArt mods I talked about earlier is right in there at about $130K - not bad - I know the mechanic of the owner and he has taken care of the car - divorce forces sale - so if anyone is interested, I'll get you the contact info - no money for me, just trying to make someone's garage happy !!!

I called about the Blue one in Scottsdale yesterday. The factory warranty runs out in Jan 07, the same time my TT runs out. They cannot certify the car since they are not a dealer. I want one with the Porsche cert warranty for sure.

Really clean car. He doesn't want to trade for mine, but I'm going to check into it more. It has warranty until 08.
