Buying a 997 GT2
Discussion
Hi everyone,
I have just put a deposit on this 997 GT2 http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/use... and wondering if anyone know any previous history of the car.
Price wise it looks expensive but it's coming with allot of optional extras, 2 years warranty from Porsche as well as 4,447 Mileage.
What you think? Paid bit more ?

Looks nice with some nice options and RS upgrades, seem to remember they wanted a lot of money for it.
There's hardly any for sale at the moment though so it's probably about the best one
4500 miles is superb, mine's just hit 22,000, can't stop using it
Nice to see that OPC West London are still selling my car 10 months after I bought it

Shame that it's hasn't got the touch screen PCM system. Other than that the 997 GT2 is now very good value for money unless you paid the thick end of £140,000 for a new one!
Has it been in for the recall on the clutch switch. Mine went into OPC Tonbridge where they changed the starter motor under warranty (kept jamming and sometimes didn't want to start) and the clutch switch at the same time.

That photo shows PCM.2 not PCM.3
My previous car had PCM.2 and it was a PITA having to put a sim card in if we wanted to use the phone. Later system has iPod connection, Bluetooth and touch screen functions. So if yours now has PCM.3 someone must have spent a fortune doing what must have been a complicated job.

The GT2 was good value for money when new, depreciation is pretty good for this type of car (unless like a cock the owner had modded the value out of it 
)Why endless snide depreciation commentary on this forum, bloody boring and chav IMVHO
