Hey guys...The GT2 I ordered back in October is finally on the ship. It should arrive here by mid March. The only problem is, although I've wanted the car for quite some time, now that the new GT3 pics and information is out, as well as new spy photos of the new 998 are out, I'm having some second thoughts.

Would it be wise to buy a brand new 09 GT2 next month, or should I go with any of the other options in the poll above. The deposit I paid to order the car ($17k) is refundable, so thats not an issue.

Obviously, I know each of the above mentioned cars are different from each other, and each has a unique aspect to it. However, I'm still interested in all of them.

I need some help!

 

What do plan to do with the car? track? street? do you like modding your car? have you driven a GT3/2 ?

 

95% street. 5% track.

I've driven the GT2, GT3, RS, CGT, and Turbo.

 

Get the GT2, drive it until the GT3 RS arrives, drive it. If you don't like it more then the GT2 keep it.

 

Heres some pics to help with your decision

 

i had one i loved it!!!!! just some changes in choices for me i sold it wish i wouldnt have i now have my second RS and it is not near the power ... i will own another one i promise that

 

First off, you want the car. Owning and driving this car cannot be explained in words. Mods are cheap and payout in speed in enormous. Besides that emotional part, what are you paying? I might have gotten the first one in the US or close to it, and made the mistake of paying over sticker. At the time of the market, it wasn't a bad decision, and I could have sold it for more money. Nope, I didn't do it and should have! Now, it is a high $100's car. $180k or $190k. Whatever you do, don't pay what you said. Pay less. They want you to take the car. Even at less.

 

What's the market price on these bad boys? I know at times they were crazy over sticker.

 

09's are at MSRP or a touch less. 08's about $40k under. That is average. Some 08's might bring sticker based on color and some mods and options. Apparently, a base car is low in value, but a car with some good options is a good value. Generally, a Porsche is a good used car, because you get good options for nothing, but this thinking doesn't appear to be the norm with the GT2.

 

40k under? Is that for a low mile car like 500 miles or less? So you can pick up a low optioned car for 160 or less? Dam..depreciation...

 

One guy gave $150k on this forum. That is rare. Most cars were optioned to about $210k to $220k. Prices are more like $170k to $180k, with better cars bringing closer to $200k to $210k. Market sucks. Sucks worse when one is in the garage losing. One drive down the road and you will remember why you bought the beast.

 

I'll be interested if they are at 150k =)

Enjoy your beast people, they are no garage queen! cc08gt2, i assume u r enjoying that yellow monster of ur's right?

 

There is a white GT2 at Pioneer Porsche here in Socal going for about 180K it is listed as used with 400ish miles on it and is well optioned....Sexy car...been sitting in the showroom for months!

just get the gt2. if not, you'll be chasing the "whats next car". there will always be something else you'll want later

 

Go for it... when you drive it you will say f*ck what the current market says its worth, you will love the car. When I first got mine I was offered between 40k and 50k over msrp and said no!!!!! I feel I will go through many many other cars, but for foreseeable future, I will have this car in my stable. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!
