If i buy this car now how easy will i be able to sell it being a private seller in a year or so's time??. And what do you think it will be worth? The GT2s on autotrader seem to be hanging around a bit. I am slightly worried that i will not be able to sell it and will have to end up selling it to a trader at a big loss.

Didnt I read somewhere that this car is on SOR and has been up for some months now?

If so there should be consideragle negotiation in the current price?

Well, whoever will be looking at it in a years time will be asking EXACTLY the same questions you are here....Your heart tells you to dive in but your head tells you to buy a C2S, but that's what everyone else does...are you brave enough?

Jay, if you want one, buy it.
The new 997 GT2 when it comes out wil no doubt be £110K plus, that makes the 996 version look a relative "bargain".
The prices may soften a bit over the next twelve months, but the pool of original, straight, un-crashed and un-molested cars continues to dwindle by the month.

I know you were also considering a Turbo, but if you think you may suffer a loss financially on a GT2, just consider what Turbo values will be like in 12 months time.

The Paragon car looks a cracker and it looks to have the fairly rare carbon fibre seats my GT3 had fitted too.
I'd have a really good look at it and make sure it doesn't have any accident history (I'm not suggesting it does, but do check as a lot of them have)

If you can negoiate a good deal I'd go for it.

Looks like a nice car, haven't had chance to look at this one yet... be quick!

Have you looked at any others in the marketplace? Camtunes' Lapis Blue, Aria's Arctic Silver, Morgan Cars Arctic Silver - this is a c98 car btw, MT Performances Gloss Black and of course William Loughrans Arctic & Basalt?

Wow, a real beauty.
I've been watching the one at Camtune for a while.
Both great solid colours.
