Market price of 996 GT2/3
So the the E90 M3 will be posted for a lease swap this week, and I am thinking about the 996 GT car again. My last 996 GT2 is still the best car I have ever had.
I am looking for stock and bright color 2 or 3 but the prices are all over the place, so I was wondering if some of you have some idea about this.

I have many thoughts about the GT2. I just have to make more money. For me its 2 all day, but everyone else is 3. I know you already had a 2, but ever driven a 3? Which one are you learning towards?

The one lesson I learned from DD'ing the last 2 is that I should get one this time with stock seats and not the one piece seats. For DD and occasional track, it's just too much of a pain in the ass. The fact that the one piece seat back does not fold forward really limits its daily utility.
I much prefer the look of the 2. But though the plan is to get a 430 in a few years, I realized that part of the car ADD I have had in the past few years is because none of the cars I have had since the GT2 could really deliver the driving experience. And now that we have a perfect family car, yes, the CTSV wagon is perfect in this regard, the M3 sedan has become superfulous.
I am considering the 3 because it is much cheaper, and an unmodded to hell 2 is pretty difficult to find unless it's some 4000 mile garage queen which I am not willing to pay for.
Ideally either the 2 or 3 should have less than 30K miles or so so that it has been driven enough so that warranty items have been addressed from normal use, and are not too expensive because miles seem to kill resale on these cars.
I know about that red 3 in AZ, don't know what's up with the mounting holes where the rollcage used to be, they could at least buy a new carpet and cover it back up.

My silver 2004 3 sold last January for $52k here in LA. All the regular upgrades (bar, seats, etc.) A yellow 3 of same year just sold here in LA for between $48-$52k, but this car was pretty damn clean and had significant upgrades. I think between $40-50k ought to be good for a 996 3 now.

Sold my 2005 996 GT3 in June for $64K. Had the typical upgrades on it with 8500 miles. At the time I sold it cars with more miles and more track time were being sold for $55K to $60K. I would say depending on what you are looking for in the car they could be found in the $50K to $60K range with some high mileage cars in the sub $50K range.

My 2 was as reliable as a Toyota, and I put 36K in 3 years!.
And yes, I know I need to keep a supply of lower lip front spoiler if I am going to DD it.

Is this guy smoking something good wanting 70K for a 15K mile 2004?
