Weren’t these £100k starting price over a year ago?

A brown anthracite one I saw sold sub £100k over a year ago and now it’s for sale again by same dealer for over £100k.

Given my GT4 is dropping - why are these not?

£83-85k - but I am just thinking out loud - IF I was in the market, I'd be waiting for a CS or bucket car. The Guards one at Ashgoods (as brief as it was) made me realise how stubborn some others are, there's a perfect (for me) CS at Rybrook on Autotrader, but it's at least £10k overpriced (again, for me) @ £103,850... Stunning thing! cloud9

That's my previous car recently p'exed against a Macca 600LT.
PM if you want info.

I believe the cs that rybrook are trying to sell got px at my local OPC, must be a reason why they didn’t retail it!

If I wasn't in the process of buying a new house I'd be considering it! irked

It's pretty much the exact spec I would've ordered if I'd been in a position to buy new at the time and is my second place dream car!

First is an Aqua Blue 997.2 GT3 RS CS with Weiss Gold contrast, so don't feel offended... thumbup

If you don’t mind me asking why wasn’t the car sold by Cardiff OPC?

can only be over revs or too much prep needed, very strange and very over valued.

Does it have PCCBs.? If so they'd be first gen and likely to have failed the minimum measurement required by Porsche OPCs

Reason was down to prep against required margin of £10k-£15k!

When you P/X'ed the GT3 for the 600LT i assume they spotted the prep needed and fully intended to trade it from the outset.?
Was it the Chicane grey 600LT Spider you bought form Cardiff OPC..If so i remember seeing sat next to my Black RS WP before i took delivery..Both myself and my wife thought it was the most stunning car in the bottom showroom even amongst the RSs and Ferraris,

No, it was the Myan orange coupe.
Reason for switching to the Macca was due to my OPC not granting me an allocation for a new GT3/RS (every iteration) since 2009 even though I had been a loyal customer since 1991.

thought as much.

600LT seems an interesting car.

I hate to talk values, but with £50k deposits and £150k GFV to move these in the end, are you renting yours ?

Actually no. I buy what I can afford at the time and take any depreciation hit on the nose. Call me old fashioned if you like.

Ah, i remember that one being advertised by Cardiff more recently..Even more stunning than the Chicane one i saw in person..I don't blame you for switching to Macca after the way you were treated by your local OPC..I think the 600LT is possibly my favourite car currently on sale and if i hadn't been fortunate in getting an RS WP allocation i planned on getting one instead.

you can make £30k on your RS and flip to a LT for £125k so true cost = £95k ;-)

best time to swap is now while RS WP values are high lol

You guys are a bad influence.

I have placed a deposit on the Ashgoods 997.2 GT3 Clubsport. It was too good a price to resist, and I've been watching for literally years.

I think an original sale fell through, as it was de-listed and then came up as POA, but it was for sale at the same price.
