biggrin

You can get a pretty much delivery mile LHD one from Europe for £105k! Absolute bargain at that price!

To be fair that car has done 3-4x the mileage of most cars, which will drag the price down (not that it should be a problem) - it is fairly well specced though!

Fair enough, here is one for £147k with only 2150 miles on it!

If I was buying one (and I wish I was) I would be looking at LHD models and saving £50k.

Having said that, if my numbers came up on the Lotto I would be paying £200k+ for a 991 GT3 RS lick

Comfort seat for that car though.

On what basis?

Are you referring to a £101k list price car or a £125k list price car or somewhere in between?

132 figure was used to ramp up prices, in reality closer to 300.

132 cars and you need to pay £180k as a thread not so long ago appeared claiming they were there 'as predicted'.... wink

I expect the OP will receive a few PM's offering cars at sub 150k. The individual who ramped prices up, and predicted £180k has probably sold all his cars and moved on.

Looking at the volume for sale on piston heads alone I'm sure a deal could be done on a number of these used cars.

Might be worth phoning around and seeing what cash offers you get if you were to sell one of these in the current climate.

I can't see many dealerships wanting to tie up there cash in a car like this, many will be SOR. From previous experience they will want a return of around 10% if selling a SOR car. Based on this a car advertised for £150k would be returning the owner approximately £135k if sold. If a dealer had to get his cash out I would imagine he would want it for less than £135k.

If you are serious a number of people have mentioned there may be a number of new cars yet to be built / sold by Porsche, might be worth a call to your local OPC and speak with the DP.

Good luck

on the basic they are dropping £3k a week, so only a mug would buy at £150k atm

why buy today what is cheaper tomorrow.

I don't think they're dropping 3k a week, that may be a little optimistic.

the 911 Virgin car did(and it prob sold cheaper than it was listed after 3 drops) as did many, there were all £159k now all £149k and still dropping.

£3k seem conservative imo.

In that case I'll wait 'til next May - they'll be free!
