Great car and perfect color combo, but it seems like a little bit much for a car with 17k miles. Sorry, just my opinion. Was the 2003 MY GT2 the one with the power pumped up to 470+ or was that the 2004?
EDIT: Just noticed the car has PCCB, so that should jump the price up a little.

Porsche's way of justifying the stupid 200K MSRP.

I don't understand why Porsche hasn't learned from the debacle of the 996 GT2 pricing, and continue to price the GT2 so far above the second hand value.
The car is not worth 200K new, it just isn't.
As much as we loved ours, the lousy resale meant that the wise thing for us to do was to give back the car. I mean, WTF, 86K buyout and I put 36K (can't remember any more if it was 35 or 36) on it. So it was probably only worth 60K max in the secondary market.
They should have priced the new GT2 at about 140K, and the 996 definitely should have been priced there as well.
As it stands, the current market price of the 996 GT2 makes it the steal of the century. Of course, I would advise anyone to have enough autox and track time before taking delivery, let along doing the "hey ma look at me stunts."
It was a beast of a car, the last of its breed where the car demands respect and will not hesitate to kill you.
Now, if only the LA housing market will completely tank so I can get back into the car market...
