If I wanted one (and I don't), I'd find a used tt, convert it to 2 wheel drive, remove the sound deadening stuff and do a 700 hp kit and kill any GT2.

I looked into this, the money it takes to do an RWD conversion proprely makes it not worth while. At least not when 996 GT2's are in the 85K range.

Again . . . thanks to all for the warm welcome!
fastgreek- Thanks, neighbor. The guys at Knopf are great, but they aren't clued-in as far as GT2's are concerned. BTW, your name Gus?
It stands to reason that a low mile '08 GT2 would be worth about $150K in this economy. I just heard today that GM plans to lay off 42,000 workers and close 5 plants. Not a typo.
The problem is, all the dealers seem to be hovering at just under $200K as their "selling" price. ~190K.
Get real. I tell them they're not plugged into their market and really need to go on some of the boards to hear what the public -- their customers -- are saying.
(I would mention 2 forums that I know for sure, but I think that's a no-no out of respect for TS)
The GT2 cars are only going DOWN in value and will continue to do so throught the year. I'll sit tight until the right car/price comes along... albeit, I'll still keep looking.

I did, but no luck. They liked their cars so much, that they will keep them until the market gets better.

JonA85-
Thanks for the welcome.
I am impatient, too. Particularly when it comes to cars,
however, the dollars are large so I'll wait. Heck, I'd even
throw-in my beloved Diasio 962R as partial trade-in on the
right GT2!
