Just noticed the Lapis Blue 996 GT2 which Camtune have had on SOR for a few months has either at last been sold, or maybe just taken off the market.

Anyone on here bitten the bullet and joined us adrenalin junkies... hehe

have been looking at the half dozen or so gt2' for sale ever since i sold my gt3. did not go much on the blue though. i see there is a nice looking 03 silver gt2 in top marques at the moment.4000 miles looks like it maybe worth a look. what do you think??

4000 miles eek thats extremely low, what kind of money is being asked? Both the Basalt & Arctic cars at William Loughran are very good cars IMO if you are serious about buying. I would also check out the Classified Section on here as there is a superb Black 04 Car recently advertised, again with very low mileage, definately worth a viewing IMO.

i emailed the chap about the black one before he advertised it. looks very nice indeed.though i don't think an opc warranty would stand up with the amount of modifications on the engine. it is definately the nicest gt2 i've seen though. also is it really worth nearly 25k more than i sold my 04 black gt3??

Maybe its wishful thinking but I do think 996 GT2 Prices seem to be firming up of late, as well as there not being many good cars available and becoming more scarce by the month. confused

What preferences have you in mind, colour, mileage, Comfort/Clubsport etc.?

Good call! If it is the Irish Car then be aware that this car is a c98 car originally bought in Malta. Looks a great car however you may have trouble with insurance etc. due to not being the higher spec'd UK equivalent.

I love black cars. would not care if car had buckets or comfort as my gt3 had buckets and found they were comfy but hard not to scuff when getting in.I'm not sure where the low mile silver one is just noticed it last night while looking at the new top marques.I think it is advertised in the high 60s.
I'm not sure what i want really and i have a test drive booked for sunday at lambo birmingham.i'm starting to think my next car should look more worthy of the extra money i'm about to throw at it. i do love the gt2 but if i bought a black 04 plate nobody would realise i've changed my car but my bank balance certainly would.

That's too funny! The roads in Malta are almost too bad for a trials bike and a GT2 wouldn't get out of first gear.

All Porsche's are manufactured in Germany (or Finland).

None of them are "sub-standard".

They all come new with international warranties, 10 year bodywork guarantees and the same OPC extended warranty options.

But you may find the Aircon blower's a little stronger than a UK one ....

Hardly a reason for any insurance company not to want to take your money.

Security system on a c98 car is not the same as a c16 UK Car, therefore requires upgrading/aftermarket system etc. Also little things like Top Tint Screen is not standard.

Most if not all OPC's will not take a c98 car, I spoke to my three local Dealers when considering this car myself. I agree bodywork warranty and the OPC Extended Warranty is not a problem, however moving the car in the trade is.

Most OPC's won't take ANY GT2....c98 or otherwise.

I am also looking for a gt2 but cant seem to find one which has not been damaged or tuned up. I want a basalt black one with buckets and a cage preferably. I have looked at a few now but just cant find a real mint one. Will i ever find one?

Don't agree - most OPC's can't get them as they offer silly money. When they do, they sell within days.
