£88k is crazy money.

OK it's a manual coupe, but it's a 4wd GTS in a marmite colour which is trying to be a GT3.

Might as well choose a GT3 or a turbo.

Did it sell for 88K before at Hexagon Classics?

...all the more that it'll be north of £80K, could hit £100K inc commission.

ah, here is that nice one I saw this week, sadly its a PDK version, but looks great and only 15.000km or about 9.321 miles.

Not cheap though...

Done a weeks worth of looking now and am a bit none the wiser we a sensible price to be paying for a car privately!

My view is that I’m happy to pay well in excess of a trade offer but not match what I perceive to be a realistic trade price.

The issue being the likes of Ashgood will price a car realistically but some want to reference cars with paragon / hex etc which I feel are very toppy.

Views on reasonable price for sensible owners / good history PDK coupe with 35-40k miles?

This one is bound to polarise opinion. I quite like it. What are we thinking price wise, £75K?

They were never as sought after as the 2nd.

Looks lovely to me and the 4wd wouldn’t put me off.

However the lack of centre locks is a leap too far imho

While they look lovely I'd actively seek a car without them. Too much hassle in the real workd for purely an aesthetic gain in my view.

I would not disagree that they are largely aesthetic. However the market likes them and if you seek out one with 5 studs you are fishing in a small pool. The 5-stud cars I’ve seen stick in my mind for having stuff you wouldn’t really want, for example tan leather, sunroof or just full leather. Alcantara and CLs are part of the design language of the GTS.

Indeed when it comes to the GTS models you're ansolutely right and this is in fact a thread about GTSs, so I agree.

My comment was more 911 in general I suppose, although I wouldn't rule out a what is potentially a good car just because of the wheel nuts! smile
