I'm sure its nice but what a waste, no doubt bought by a polisher too scared to drive it in case they diminish its value, such a shame ....

8,000 miles in 11 years. Pathetic!! Get a life and use the thing. It's a firkin sports car, not a trinket. I know that it's his toy to be used as he sees fit, but,what a monumental waste of a great car.

Dont you just luv t'internet! Don't use it and he's a tool, or use it modestly, and be faced with a multitude of 'experts' telling him they were looking for something with lower mileage... rolleyes As pointed out, it sold rather quickly, so the latent interest and desire for 'em appears undiminished. Price doesn't appear to be important either, and it does highlight the stunning value of the ones available in the £40k bracket. I guess the lesson is not to use your Porsche... thumbup

I think the GT2 will be mega bucks in the future. Biggest P-car bargain at the minute ?

LOL! There is quiete some truth in that. On the other hand, imagine all the fun the owner did miss in those 11 years and he still lost money in the end. Apparently he didn't even admire its looks since he says, it was kept under a cover.

That's true. Though if he had done another 40000 miles in it, he would have been looking at £1 per mile depreciation!

£1 per mile depreciation is about right for a new 911 e.g. a £70k new 996 C4S in 2003 would now be worth £20k @ 50,000 miles. This GT2 owner has suffered £3.50/mile in 11 years.

True - but I think the sentiment above holds - did it sell to a driver or a museum owner?
A couple of guys I hoon with have 6GT2s - they challenge is in taming the widowmaker - not storing it!?

Each to their own smile

I'm most interested that nobody so far has mentioned that it was one of the "common" (a relative term) 2002 cars, rather than one of the few facelifted and improved 2004 cars ....

Now done !

And I'm very pleased for both parties. It can do nothing but good for all us GT2 owners.

On a separate note, it's good to see both the higher mileage examples find new homes recently as well. There does appear to be a bit of a freeing up of the recent log jam.

Don't wish your life away Ed. We had it in stock for 9 months and having acquired the car from you in November 2012 had the winter to contend with, admitedly not the best season to bring a GT2 to market. Hope you and yours are well. Glad you are bonding with the GT3.
