    Some pictures of a 997 GT2 that I took

    My local dealership has a Basalt Black 997 GT2 available and I couldn't resist taking some pictures. She's a beauty, that's for sure!

    Before you ask, no, that front plate wasn't screwed on. They put it on with double sided tape.

    They're asking $279,995 for this particular model. A bit overpriced I think.

    I'm using a Nikon D3 with the 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.

    Great pictures thanks. I agree, white stiching with black seats make a great combo.
    The price tag... well

    280???????

    What is the world coming to? But, in that part of the states, there are more millionaires than raindrops, so I'm sure it won't take long.

    They're asking $230,000 at my dealership for what appears similarly equipped. Atlas grey. $30K markup.

    Re: Some pictures of a 997 GT2 that I took

    It was sold today. So I guess there are those with deep pockets that really want a car even at this price. No, it wasn't me that bought it. I'm not willing to spend that much over MSRP.

    Would that be Rich? Or did he manage to secure one earlier? Haven't heard from him for a while.

    Atomic, great pics!!

    Advice on posting multiple pics in same post as you have, Just starting with this and is "painfull" posting each separately.

    I'm using Mac with Aperature 2.0 with D3 also.

    It wasn't Rich. At that price I think he's happy with his GT 3.

    Link your pictures hosted from a external photo hosting site (Photobucket, Flickr...) this will allow you to post multiple pics in one post.

    Re: Some pictures of a 997 GT2 that I took

    Market is still strong, but buyers are bailing on orders and they are moving to other dealerships to sell. I bet the car didn't go for $280k, cause if it did, mine is now for sale.
